    Oh boy, the ideas!
    How about airsoft ammo instead of the cork? Spherical like a real cannon ball and soft enough to not be dangerous.

    I would drill a slightly over-scale touch hole in the breech and rig a hypodermic needle to use to inject gas behind the airsoft ball. Then touch a flame to the touch hole and get a realistic firing.
