Militia Gun

The people of the United States have a right to keep and bear arms in our Constitution.
Until the 1930s that essentially allowed almost anyone to own almost any kind of weapons they wanted.
Local militias often had all sorts of weapons, including artillery.  This militia unit has one gun and one steam powered towing tractor.
Artillery development was very fast in the 1890s and sales were good.
Local militia units, and even National Guard units had all sorts of uniforms, even those that were rather retro for the American Civil War and American Revolution. 
My artillery usually gets a store of supplies as an ammo dump.  This one is mounted on a sheet of plastic and flocked with Woodland Scenics grass.
