The Noon Gun

[@comraderasputin]

Nice video-i fired that gun for 2 years 1985-1986-not much has changed. Awesome.

When the gun is fired, you should see what happens on nearby streets, locals just look at their watches to check them and visitors duck and look around to see what is going on, too funny at times

[@jamesbaird1149]

Seen this from both sides so many times...still brings tears to the eyes...Culture and Heritage...something I hope Nova Scotia never loses!!

A humourous quirk in the architecture of the building in the distance!

STill makes me jump, LOl and I've lived here all my life.

@Simo84844 During a battle they would of course skip a lot of the formality. The orders would be shortened, and they wouldn’t need to reposition the gun as often - depending on their target. In this segment you saw the men pausing and waiting to be given orders. During a battle the orders would be more direct and the commander of the battery wouldn’t be giving orders to just one gun, he’d be giving orders to an entire battery, so there’d be a lot less micro management and more speed.
