Carronade

The carronade is a short version of the cannon, boasting a much shorter range and poorer ballistic performance, but making up for it with raw firepower. Carronades are perfect short-range weapons against enemy ships and crew alike, but require getting in close quarters with enemy vessels, which is not always practical or safe.

Overview
