Tagged Cannon Games

A cannon is a powerful, large-caliber gun designed to launch heavy projectiles over long distances. Traditionally made from metal, cannons have been used in warfare for centuries, dating back to medieval times. They operate by igniting gunpowder to create an explosive force that propels cannonballs or other ammunition. Cannons can be mounted on wheeled carriages for mobility or fixed in fortresses for defense. Various types exist, including field cannons for battlefields, naval cannons for ships, and siege cannons for breaching fortifications. Although modern artillery has largely replaced them in military use, cannons remain iconic symbols of historical warfare and are often displayed in museums or reenactments. Their thunderous roar and destructive power continue to capture the imagination of history enthusiasts and military scholars alike.
