A 12ib British Gunnade sometimes called Carronade Cannon, used from the
1700 to early 1880, it was a close range very destructive cannon used on
both warships and merchant vessels.
The British used large bore carronades as siege guns and a 12-pounder
carronade was used on a field carriage by Utah militia in the 1850s.
But, our favorite example, and a nice parallel to this, is the
twelve-pounder gunade used at the Alamo by its Texian defenders,
positioned at the west wall of the fortress in the battle and on exhibit
there today
