Quaker guns were used by the confederates at forts that didn't have real cannons. So they improvised trying to fool union officers into thinking that the fort is "well gunned". Quaker guns were logs made to look like cannons and painted black, and sometimes to make it look more real they have stacks of cannonballs nearby
