Canister shot is great for sweeping clean decks full of disagreeable royalists.
Langrage.
Kind of just the kitchen sink of whatever the fuck you had around. Often used by pirates because at close range when attempting to board you can shred a lot more people and also do a lot of damage to sails in quick time
Carcass shot was at least originally out of howitzers with a fuse to blow over the heads of the fired on. And it was like gunpowder and I think turnpentine and I forget wrapped in canvas with iron rings around it, the iron rings would turn into shrapnel when it exploded.
Every so often the fuse would fault and blow up the gun crew.
neat! and, it is not prohibited by the Hague Convention. wunderbar!
You called?
Okay, so each has its use but I would offer this assuming we're in a stern chase. Chain and bar to disable or at least lower speed and maneuverability so that the foe is unable to escape. Rake the stern with round to disable guns as you come up alongside, if you're able to slow them enough, try to get raking shots from both broadsides by zig zagging your course. Canister and grape from your upper deck guns to sweep the foe if you intend to carry them via boarding, if not pound away with round shot and if you can, rake them again from forward if you over haul.
Hotchkiss and parrot, because I like to put my own spin on these kinds of things.
a man has a gun
hey man have fun
nice shot man
nice shot
Grape shot's a great shot
every time I see bar shot I think of a tiktok post that said "giants exist, here is proof" implying it's a giant nipple piercing
