ChrisB many thanks for posting the video, nice to see the gun firing if only black powder, the Maltese certainly take their re-enactments seriously. Went to one at another fort in Valletta, can't remember the name of it, and watched a cracking display, plenty of flintlocks banging off so clouds of smoke and just 6 feet away from a brass canon was that was fired off, plenty of realism. Spent some happy days in Malta, loved the people, first went their in the 70's in the Air Force, has changed a lot since then, joining the EU they had to modernise their infrastructure which took away some of the character of the place, particularly the buses, they were legendary.
