Cannons?

[commando552]

All these kind of cannons were direct fire so that doesn't disqualify them if you stick to the rules. However I would agree that generally cannons shouldn't have an article, as for the most part they are rather generic and will probably be mock ups anyway.

The only problem about them not having a page is that there is nowhere for the gun image to go where it can be found for future reference. Do you think it might be worth making a cannons page (like the flintlock pistol page) where appearances can be listed along with storing photos of known models of cannon?

Also whilst we're talking about page eligibility for heavy weapons, what about tank and aircraft automatic cannons? There seems to be a bit of inconsistency with this as they are not generally dismountable individual or crew served weapons so they would not qualify under the rules, but there does seem to be an awful lot of them on the site. Are they allowed or not? Also most of the aircraft cannons are actually identified by the presence of the aircraft which should be carrying them and not seeing the gun itself so some are pointless in that respect.
