Brigand Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hello, I used to have a bookmark to a chart listing various weights and dimensions for naval carriage guns of the 17th and 18th century. I've worked all the search engine foodoo I know, but I can't seem to find such a list anywhere now. The closest I could find is about field and garrison guns. Is there anyone who has a (link to a) chart that lists: Shot weight, Length of gun, Calibre/bore diameter and material (iron/bronze). (schematic drawings for each of the various (1/2pounder, 2 pounder ... 24 pounder) guns would be a big bonus). Cheers, Brigand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone who has a (link to a) chart that lists: Shot weight, Length of gun, Calibre/bore diameter and material (iron/brass).

Is this like the thing you are after? http://arc.id.au/Cannonballs.html http://www.thepirateking.com/historical/cannon_smoothbores_of_the_later_period.htm Im not sure how correct the second link is, it's a little hard to understand some of the tables, but the first link is pretty decent to my knowledge. Hope these help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
