Hello, and I apologize in advance if this is a really dumb thing to be asking,

however, I can't seem to figure out how to make the blasted thing fire.  The
plunger moves a little bit, but doesn't seem to really pull out or twist, and
it's the only moving part I can find.  It's entirely possible that my cannon • is
broken or something, but since this is the first one I've seen, I wouldn't
know.. so if someone knows how I'd make the little thing fire and maim some
poor unsuspecting pirate (they must get those peg legs somehow), I'd be very
grateful if they could let me know.

Thanks,
Dan

This is one of the disabled cannons - they can be modified to shoot with the
addition of a spring (some disassembly required).  They were later replaced by
the one-piece non-firing cannon.
