I wonder if it’d work better if the gunpowder chambers were connected a bit, so it all explodes pretty much at once

FireRetardant , (edited )

Make the chambers share a central wick or ignition chamber.

I also wonder if just firing 2 regular canonballs was effective

It is the chain that was the innovation

FireRetardant ,

The article/meme specifically states the canon was experimental and the canon never saw battle.

Also didn’t ships already have canons capable of tearing down masts with chained balls by that time?

PugJesus OP ,

The difference there, chain shot, is that the chain is still fairly short, because you can’t really get a large length of chain to reliably ‘unfold’ from a single projectile when fired. This beast had a chain that started unfurled, attached to each cannon ball, and long enough to go all the way down each of the barrels - making it, theoretically, have a massive spread of chain which could scythe down large numbers of troops in formation, instead of just a handful (for which one would generally prefer grapeshot, shrapnel, or canister).

FireRetardant ,

I wonder if a single canon with 3 balls chained together would have worked by loading the center ball

What if there was a way to offer ads while not being extremely privacy invasive? Oh, good thing Mozilla’s been working on that! Oh wait, the same people here hate that as well…

Shouldn’t news agencies be paid in some way?

News agencies have always been able to offer adverts. But with the option to deny optional tracking cookies. Now you have to accept tracking cookies or pay money.

Honest journalism is only for people with a Venezuelan’s monthly salary. Very honest.
