Agreed, though for settlements with some engineering know how but without the wherewithal to build a cannon foundry, it wouldn't be beyond the realm of the possible to have something like a de-mil'ed 105mm gun converted to a lower pressure black powder breech or muzzle loader. (Of course, putting a 12 pounder Napoleon back in service would probably be even easier . . .)
