Description

An experimental artillery piece which has a rectangular barrel made to fit a wooden tray with three 3lb cannon balls across. Suitable for use in any 28mm Historical system or in Flintloque and Slaughterloo. Supplied unpainted and not assembled.
Note: This is an actual 28mm creation based on a real cannon in Russia. In the second half of the 18th century the history of Russian artillery is characterized with working out many experimental patterns for artillery guns that were offered for adoption in the army. Russian artillerists tried to solve problems of increasing the firing rate and fire power of guns. An interesting sample of such systems is the 3pounder experimental cast iron cannon with a rectangular barrel bore cast in Olonets in 1722. It was intended for firing three 3pound balls, which were wrapped round with linen and placed in one row on a wooden tray.
