Pirate Weapons Part 5- Ammunition Pirates rarely relied on simple solid cannonballs. Instead, they favored specialized and improvised ammunition designed to disable ships, maim crews, and spread terror rather than sink their targets. • Chain-shot & Bar-shot (17th–18th c.): Two iron balls or halves linked by a chain or bar, fired to shred sails, snap masts, and destroy rigging—leaving prey unable to flee. • Grapeshot & Scavenged Metal (widely used c. 1600s): Cannons packed with small iron or lead

Pirate Cannons vs. Naval Cannons Pirates weren’t trying to win wars — they just wanted prizes. That single idea explains everything about the weapons pirates chose. Swivel Guns (“Murderers”) Introduced: late 1400s–early 1500s Loaded with grapeshot, nails, and scrap iron. These weren’t ship killers—they were deck clearers. Board fast. Break resistance. Take control. 6-Pounders – the Pirate Workhorse Introduced: mid-to-late 1600s Fast reloads. Small crews. No wasted weight. Blackbeard mounted them
