I think you missed one of the main reasons to use Chain Shot. Often in naval combat of the day the goal was not to sink the opponents ship but to disable it and take the ship by boarding, chain shot was very good at tanging riggin and dismasting ships. The ships crew and officers were paid prize money for taking enemy ships and capturing them to use in their own navy's.

@marauder7209 4 года назад

Should be added, I think, that (according to the armoury at the Portsmouth Naval Museum) chain shots were not really used to take down the masts of ships, due to their inaccuracy, and the masts being quite small targets They were, however, used against the sails and riggings, which were fairly large targets, comparatively, and destroying sails and riggings will make maneouver next to impossible for the vessel struck. Oh, and they were also used on land, against tight formations of infantry (atleast, according to some sources)

Regular chain shot could take out sail canvas, shrouds and ropes, but it would rarely ever snap a mast pole in half. To snap a mast pole, you have to use solid shot, and it would take several direct hits to take the mast down.

The British always put the highest importance on having the fastest rate of fire. Also cannon balls were used against a ship's hull on the downward roll and everything else was used for anti-personnel or rigging on the upward roll. The Royal Navy tried to take a ship rather than sink it because the Admiralty would pay them for the ship.

Basically there were three main categories of ammunition. Standard round shot to damage the hull, canister or grapeshot to wipe out the crew on deck and chain shot to damage the rigging, mast and sails, making it unmaneuverable. Usually it was chosen depending on the target and objective. To capture the enemy ship it was better to board it and grape shot was used to gain an advantage in numbers so that the ship could be captured with minimum damage. Round shot was used when the enemy ship was to be destroyed/sunk. Chain shot was used to cripple the ship so that it could be a sitting duck while you shoot it to splinters.

The round shot was an anti hull shot, an noted in the battle discussed at the end. Some gunners could skip the shot on the surface like skipping a stone creating holes just above or at the water line, the would create splinters. canister was anti personnel would be used to clear thing like the fighting tops. There was also a star shot, bars attached by a ring, this was used to rip sails and light rigging. I had been told a stories about some land lobbers who tried to shot chain shot with the balls in two cannons the result was more damage to the gun crews.

@evanv7420 4 года назад

During the civil war a southern blacksmith invented a cannon for the chainshot, which was essentially two cannons together which would fire at the same time. The system for firing is the two fuses taped together which would be lit at the same time. at the unveiling and firing of the cannon, one of the fuses lit before the other did, and one of the cannons fired launching one and pulling the other cannonball with it. the out of control projectile broke its chain in midair and the two cannonballs flew in opposite directions. one crahsed into an empty house and the other killed a cow. the design was rejected and the cannon exists in virginia (i think)

You forgot one. The British navy had a shell with four blades attached to fittings on a cannonballl. The blades folded together and the ball was dropped into the cannon, ball first. On firing the blades opened and locked like a fan. That round would tear apart the opposing ships rigging or the rigging of a ship trying to flee. If it went across a deck or through a bulkhead it would wreak havoc amongst the crew.

Had so much fun with this in Pirates! great for capturing ships instead of sinking them.

I credit The Pirate: Caribbean Hunt for my adoration of Chain- and Grapeshot. Nothing like immobilizing a British merchant with chain shot bow chasers, emptying three volleys of grapeshot across her decks, and taking the ship and cargo to a Spanish port in Cuba.

Coming from a Reenactor, 2Minjte Load Time is a bit out there... A good crew (and you had to be in these times) could do it in less than a minute, especially since it required around 3-4 of these guys just to fire one cannon. Plus a lot of that stuff, Powder Charges and Cannon Balls, were kept at the ready and constantly being resupplied, so thus one of the crew only had to run 3 feet from the rear to grab fresh supplies while there were "Powder Boys" constantly gathering more Charges. You also have to remember back in these days sinking a ship wasn't worth it, taking the ship was a better alternative as you'd get more that way, sinking a ship was considered a Last Resort.

@sskuk1095 4 года назад

I read in a book that sometimes even heated canon balls were used that would set an enemy ship on fire.

Everyone bragging about being experts on chain shots because they played Assassin's Creed and Sea of Thieves, while not realizing they're actually n00bs compared to those who played Empire Total War, Sid Meier's Pirates and Pirates of the Caribbean.
