    <summary>Hey izzit me, or are these guys older than the gun? Union Civil War re-enactors from New York fire two-gun salutes with a Parrot rifle at the 90th anniversary celebration of Fort Dix, New Jersey, July 18. Of course, they&apos;re all younger than Bill. Even the original guns... Of course, a gun like that would look good snuggled between the Castle flagpoles... Hi-res available here. If you want the original (about twice the size of the higher-res one) drop me an email....</summary>

        <![CDATA[Actually Parrott artillery has a confused history concerning nomenclature.  The Army and the Navy called the same gun by a different nomenclature.  See <a href="http://www.cwartillery.org/ve/parrott.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cwartillery.org/ve/parrott.html</a>

The Parrott rifle was so called because of the rifled barrel vs the smoothbore artillery.]]>
