Gettysburg Address?

On our way home from Washington, we took a detour through Gettysburg, PA. The entire town is the battlefield site but here, at Cemetery Hill, just south of the town, is where Lincoln gave his famous address. Nearby is the Gettysburg Museum, which had a big "Electric Map" display full of blinking coloured lights telling the story of the battle. It was a cutting edge display...for 1965.

If you kick the wheel of that cannon does it collapse and fire?
