Advanced Carronade Rules proposal

[Bligh]

And you can tell that that particular 68 has had some sighting upgrades installed--most of the problems with carronade range and accuracy were not so much the weapon itself as the limited sighting technology of the day and the cheapass bastards at the Admiralty of the time's unwillingness to invest in anything better than "what we've always used and Has Always Been Good Enough Before *harrumph*."

Not the ideal of the full length for sight radius, but probably still better than what that weapon was ordered and forged with.

I was surprised to see that although upgraded with an elementary gun sight it was quoin operated, and still had no elevating screw.

QUoin operated??
you'd need a lot of QUarters to make a thing that size work!

Good one John.
I set that up nearly three months ago, and you are the first one to spring it.
