Perhaps Mr. Cleveland could mix up a batch of his famous black powder in a brass shell and that might make it go bo-WHOOOSHP !

Quick question- how do you pronounce Bo-Whoop? Ba-WUP? Or, BO-wuup? Or some other way. Just checking.

One would have to be Col. Harold P. Sheldon, and have heard the report of two shots taking down two high "mallets" over the marsh some 150 yards away, to know exactly. Sheldon gave the iconic gun it's name and only he knows exactly how it sounded that day.
