    Default Artillery

    Couldn't find any thread on this subject.


    Replica cannon based on the Loshult cannon found in Sweden dating from 1326. This cannon is in the Crecy Museum, Crecy, France, to represent the type of cannon that may have been used at the battle of Crecy in 1346.


    Bombarde from the Stadt Museum, Cologne, Germany, said to be from 1377


    Mörkö Gun estimated at around 1390 with a hexagonal barrel and religious inscriptions


    European handgun dating from 1390-1400


    Found in 1849 in a well at Tannenburg, which was destroyed in 1399, so probably pre dates this.


    Handguns from Italy dating from the end of the 14th Century to the beginning of the 15th Century


    Handgun from the Stadt Museum, Cologne, dated 1400

    Are you going to give the Turks a faction unique supersized bombard like they historically had and used against Byzantium in 1453?
