Does anyone have any solid data on when the US one piece cannon was
introduced? I would theorize that the Pirate sets came with the disabled
shooting cannon until 1996 when Wild West was introduced (or possibly
some time in 1995 when they designed the part for use in the upcomming
Wild West sets).
I'll have to look more closely at my Pirate sets and see if I can
determine anything.
