Niklas Stoer. G. 1373: Ro. 42. Two Cannons, c. 1540. Gotha.
"Medium artillery pieces, prbably Kartaunen. In general the rate of firing was slow. This was in part due to the necessity to cool and clean the bore each time to prevent premature explosions when reloading; vinegar was used to cool the barrels." |
