Cannon Sponge and Rammer

The staff a field gun's No. 1 swabs out the bore with after each shot and rams the charge and ball home with: a turned wooden rammer head with an iron band, a 2.22 m ash staff worn smooth where hands go, and a sheepskin sponge wrapped round a wooden core, tacked and tied, with an iron ferrule. Right for black-powder artillery from the Napoleonic wars to the Texas Revolution and the frontier forts.

Sized for a 6-pounder's 9.4 cm bore (it goes down the bore of our Bronze Field Cannon). Origin at the rammer face, the staff along +Y, so a character's hand socket can hold it and slide it along the bore line.

1,400 triangles, one PBR material (2048 px colour and normal maps; the GLB also carries its roughness map). FBX for Unreal and Unity and GLB for Godot, three.js and glTF importers, with PNG textures.
