I've always assumed that they were blank charges ;-)  Actually, there
are 4 cannons that they fire off in sequence.  Of course, if they fired
in the  other direction it would be aimed right at the window of my
office.

What's the cadet gonna do with that c*****?  Is he gonna
blast the school building <LOL>?  Shouldn't the thing be
pointed AWAY from the building?
