Today I found two interesting videos on youtube with explanations on how the whole process was to shoot these cannons.
This is really cool for those who have doubts, like me, when mounting Playmobil dioramas.

Very interesting. Of course, the first video didn't show the crew covering their ears, which was standard procedure. And that would be real hard to do with PMB figures.  I liked the original cannons that came out in the 80s. Those were more authentic than the ones with the big rubber tipped arrows.
anyhow, thanks for posting those links.

Jay,
I don't use the big rubber tipped arrows to make dioramas, only to play with my daughter of 3 years.
I use them with balls that came out with "Pirates".  ???
Like you I prefer  original cannons that came out in the 80s.

Based on the videos posted, I decided to build a small diorama, that would be like a section of artillery with our Playmobil.
Hope you enjoy.
I await comments to improve them.
Greetings.
