Carronades were shorter and lighter than equivalent long guns. But, the advantage in weapon weight was offset by a much shorter range. Shot from a 32-pounder long gun traveled nearly a mile. Discharged from a 32-pounder carronade, the same shot traveled less than 1,000 yards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe low muzzle velocity of the carronade s round shot inflicted a lot of damage, leading to its nickname, the  masher.  It could also be loaded with chain, hot shot, musket balls, or scrap metal, making it an effective weapon in naval warfare. It was capable of raking the deck of an enemy ship, setting it afire, or shredding its sails and rigging. Carronades were used from the 1770s to the 1860s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eKIT FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Historically accurate and perfectly scaled\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Wooden gun carriage, deck \u0026amp; bulwark\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  One-piece Britannia metal cannon Model Shipways Barrel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Authentically detailed cannon Model Shipways Barrel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Clearly written illustrated instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Easy to build   assembly \u0026amp; painting time 5-10 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eGuns Of History Kit No. MS4004\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eModel length 8-1\/4\" \/ width 4-1\/2\" \/ height 3-1\/2\" \/ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eScale 1:24 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty Level:  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eEntry Level \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-2\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e  \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS4004_Carronade_Instructions.pdf?v=1759840118\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eInstructions - English\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!--\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Espanol.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eInstrucciones Español\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Italiano.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eIstruzioni - Italiano\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Francais.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eInstructions - Français\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS1472_Lobster_smack_instructions_Deutsch.pdf?v=1759774582\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eAnweisungen - Deutsch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  --\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/MS4004_carronade.doc?v=1759840130\" target=\"_BLANK\" style=\"font-size: 1.4rem;\"\u003eParts List\u003c\/a\u003e        ","brand":"Model Expo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42957702758502,"sku":"MS4004","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/3274\/0198\/files\/ms4004-1_a6ea1a8a-4f59-4d7b-be1a-9cfa735bfaa4.jpg?v=1759420785","url":"https:\/\/www.modelexpo-online.pro\/products\/guns-of-history-18c-deck-carronade-32-lbr-1-24-scale-model-kit","provider":"Model Expo Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
