章 167: Weapon Testing: Grapeshot vs Canistershot

Rewari kingdom, Canon factory , morning of 25th march 1557.

The open grounds of the cannon factory hummed with a flurry of activity. Workers scurried about, arranging dummies and carts, while others maneuvered additional carts, their contents concealed under white cloths.

Elite soldiers clad in chain mail armour, stood vigil around the perimeter, ensuring strict security as they monitored every movement.

A small team of workers grunted with effort, heaving a falconet cannon on its wheeled carriage toward the designated weapon testing area.

The cannon, with its slender, elongated barrel, seemed almost out of place against its modestly-sized iron wheels. The contrast between the cannon's imposing length and its small wheels gave it a unique, top-heavy appearance, emphasizing its formidable presence despite its compact form.
