i had this idea: maybe one could achieve simultaneous firing by using only one combustion chamber with pressure valves that open channels to the cannon balls
Thing is, the cannon ball IS the pressure valve. And since one of them will invariably go faster than the other one, the whole thing will be even less unpredictable with one half of the chain still in the barrel
then just make it so the canonball is NOT the pressure valve. tge way i see it is you just gotta let tge explosion build up for a bit so the pressure equalizes
If you made this today, but with precision ignition system and lightweight ultra high tensile wire rope, it would be catastrophic for that cow.

You mean it would be killed more instantaneously?
Test fired in Georgia, cow remains raining clear up in Maine.
