What are the different cannon designs that have been produced?

From Jeff Stembel: !

The first year of production (1989), all the cannons fired. The next year (1990) saw the introduction of black-ended non-firing cannons. I’m not sure when they replaced those non-firing cannons with the single piece ones. This was only for the US market. In other markets, all cannons are the original shooting model.

From Stephen A. Campbell: !

Firing cannons have a plunger that pulls way back and launch a 1x1 cylinder. Transition cannons (black plunger) pull a short way back, but do not fire. Solid cannons do not fire at all.

The transition model can be modified with a small hobby spring (or a pen spring) but you have to disassemble it first.
