The Victorian Battle Squadron,

Here is a photo of a tripple barreled Cannon. These Cannon use CO2 stored in the Accumulator, released by the Actuator to propel the ball bearring out of the barrels, hopefully into your target.
 
 
 
 
 

   Here are some of the founding members of the AusBG. In front are some of the first ships constructed. Included is the Deutchsland, Scharnhorst, Sea-Slug, Richelieu, Conti Cavour, Wallsend and bits of the King George V.    Contact the VBS, AusBG if you want to know who the people are.

    Yes, we really fire ball bearrings at each other! This is a Scharnhorst Class Battle Cruiser showing some damage substained during a battle.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 Yes, the ships really do sink! All the internals are water proofed, so it's not long before they are ready once again for a rematch!
