I’m pretty sure everyone saw old cannons that used big round balls, but how effective were they? pretty sure the pirate ones were pretty effective at making holes in enemy ships. The early ones seem like they would hit the dirt and the dirt would shrapnel over the soldiers. Am I missing something or would these cannons offer a single shot kill or what?

If you’ve never experienced a cannon shot, I suggest you attend a civil war re-enactment sometime. The concussion of a cannon is unbelievable even when it’s just powder.
