The British Royal Horse Artillery played a crucial role during the Napoleonic Wars, known for their mobility and effectiveness on the battlefield. Here’s a rundown of the 9-pounder cannon:
- Caliber: The 9-pounder designation refers to the weight of the shot it fired, roughly 9 pounds per cannonball.
- Construction: Made primarily of bronze, this cannon was lighter than many field guns, enhancing its mobility.
- Mobility: Mounted on a two-wheeled carriage and typically horse-drawn, it could be quickly moved across the battlefield.
- Crew: Operated by a highly trained crew of six to eight men, who could fire multiple rounds per minute.
- Tactics: The Royal Horse Artillery specialized in quickly positioning their guns to support cavalry movements, making them effective in providing rapid, direct fire during engagements.
