16 Pdr Cannon

The 16 pdr Cannon, formerly known as the Small Cannon, is a Simple Weapon. It is best used in large amounts, typically being equipped in ships designed for broadsiding. While the damage is relatively high, the low AP makes the rounds ineffective against armour – a single round is enough to destroy a wood beam, but you need seven rounds to destroy a metal beam. The low velocity also limits effective range.
