To keep a camel tapped into line here are the sticks which are indian bamboo known in arabia as erg.

On the left old and very expensive and on the right again costly single and multiple node sticks ...

This cannon is fascinating to me. I had no idea that there was a such a thing as a camel cannon! As I looked at the photographs I had thought that it was rather like a matchlock barrel.

The firing device is a matchlock form... Actually the thread landed here on European and I think it is obvious that it is Ethnographic thus I would suggest it be moved over there..
