I remember a friend who owned a Playmobil cannon haven't seen the cannon's
since '87 (a guess but it's definitely before '90) so dunno if they changed
the design.
So the european version of the Playmobil cannon can shoot. A small cannon-ball
is put in the turret (is that the correct word?) and by pulling a small part
backwards strains a spring. If you let go the ball is shot.
It's not safer I think, I remember that the cannon-balls shot quite fast and
quite a distance.
