I'm looking for information about this prototype cannon that was apparently used in the Napoleonic era … I couldn't find anything on the Internet about it. I would greatly appreciate any information. More or less this is what I am talking about

It looks like a cannon version of Harper's gun from Sharpe |

Are you sure it's not something out of Flintloque? |

Interesting that this gun was actually used. According to: link several ones of this triple canon were cast. The barrels were longer than 4 feet (means at least 1,30 m, if the length of a French foot didn't change until the end of the century), and from each barrel a 2 pounder ball was fired. When they were first used, in 1705, most of these guns "came into the power of the enemy". If you scroll down at the link above you will see a plate with drawings of this triple canon (C snd D). Here some more info: link |
