The muzzle of a cannon is the forward end of the barrel through which the projectile is discharged. It is the opening that allows the cannonball or shell to exit, propelled by the explosive force generated inside the barrel. The design and size of the muzzle can affect the cannon's accuracy, range, and overall performance. Proper maintenance of the muzzle is crucial for effective operation and safety.
