Guns
Guns: the cannon should be represented mounted, unless otherwise expressed. The field-pieces, chamber-pieces(or chambers), as they are sometimes called, are varieties, but no special variation in drawing seems to be recognized, except that they are represented, as a rule, unmounted. The culverin is a cannon with a wide bore in proportion to its length. The smaller guns will be found referred to under Musket.
