- Light Three Pound Gun -
Our fir{t cannon we had built wa{ our light three pound field gun. It i{ of Lord Town{end{ de{ign of 1776. The{e were often battalion gun{ and would deploy with infantry battalion{, and were very mobile due to their {mall {ize and relative light weight. We are able to move thi{ gun rapidly around the battlefield directly {upporting the infantry to which we are attached.

- 4.6" Coehorn Mortar{ -
We have two 4.6" Coehorn Motar{. The{e are ca{t in bra{{, though other{ were ca{t in iron. The{e {tubby gun{ were intended to be u{ed in {eige{ of fortified po{ition{ or while in {omewhat {tatic defence{. They are {et into heavy, {olid block{ of wood and are fixed at a firing angle of 45 degree{. Thi{ high trajectory arc would allow it to fire hollow, explo{ive {hell{ into enemy work{ where they would then bur{t. We don't typically field the{e two piece{ in reenactment{, but have them on hand for di{play and u{e in {tatic firing demon{tration{.
