Though, 9ft is seriously overlong for a cannon. Even for a 19kg payload, it's too long. I feel like you've pulled the length off a tank cannon, which is technically correct ut the size of the ammo would technically be smaller as they don't need to build a large shell around it to store the gunpowder which launches the round.

A 5 or 6ft barrel would be better, and the outside diametre only needs to be 25cm at most for a 10cm shot, which would still do the crap loads of damage you wish to cause. It would only be about 70kg. The shorter barrel means your shot has a chance of actually leaving the barrel, as well as making it easier for her to maneuver it around the battlefield. The anvil form could be from the barrel telescoping inside of itself, so it collapses back to be a series of cylinders stored within themselves with the very outer cylinder squaring out.

These are all just suggestions, but it brings the weapon back from sheer oversized craziness to more managable and believable weights and sizes.
