cannons

Cannons are large artillery pieces designed to launch projectiles, such as shells or cannonballs, using explosive force. Historically, they have been used in warfare for centuries, evolving from simple gunpowder weapons to more sophisticated modern artillery. Cannons can vary in size and design, and are often mounted on wheeled carriages for mobility. Their primary purpose is to deliver explosive firepower over long distances, making them effective in battles and sieges. Today, cannons have largely been replaced by more advanced weaponry, but they remain significant in military history and are often displayed in museums and historical sites.
