Up to about 1990 pirate legos had shooting cannons. Then there were a few years in the early 1990s where the cannons had the necessary plastic parts to fire cannonballs, but you had to first disassemble them and add your own ballpoint pen spring. I’m not sure when they switched to non-shooting cannons. From a web search it seems like they have since switched back to shooting cannons.

- Aeolun 5y agoI remember having shooting cannons, and I must’ve had sets after 1990. Seems like this may have been a thing only in the US?
- fortysixdegrees 5y agoI have shooting cannons from post 2000 (New Zealand)

- gambiting 5y agoI was born at the start of 90s and I definitely had sets with shooting cannons and they were bought new.
