you do not normally use a skeleton with a cannon. Unless you made it one peace so that you need the skeleton to bend it at the pivots it sits on. I would say remake it in that case. if the Barrel is its own object you can very easy aim it. just move the transform point between its supports. You can do this buy hitting the insert key while you have the move tool in use for the barrel object. After you do that parent the barrel to the bass.

if your wanting to use the IK to aim it with you should use just the one joint parented to the base. And ridged bind it just to the barrel. How ever you might have a easier time using a aim constraint.
