A culverin was a relatively simple ancestor of the musket, and later a medieval cannon adapted for use by the French as the "couleuvrine" (from couleuvre "grass snake") in the 15th century, and later adapted for naval use by the English in the late 16th century. The culverin was used to bombard targets from a distance. The weapon had a relatively long barrel and light construction. The culverin fired solid round shot projectiles with a high muzzle velocity, producing a relatively long-range and flat trajectory. Rounds shot refers to the classic solid spherical cannonball.
Because of a tale, it let me think that is culverin. They are very simple guns and can be simply adapted to any carriage. The carriage images provided by Kurt are more authentic but belongs to1500.
Can you get us a bit more details about this master? First of all, we would like to know what barrels he can make. Because this is casting, he may have only limited casts and only one type of barrel are available.
