| adam_text | Firearms in Central Europe in the 14th-15th c.
The appearance and use of firearms in Central Europe triggered a number of
changes concerning not only tactics and strategy, but also architecture, logistics and
manufacture for military needs. The main aim of this study was to produce a work
on the earliest history of firearms and its transformations in the territory of Central
Europe. Separate parts of the work were devoted to problems of effectiveness of old
firearms in battlefield conditions, as well as to medieval technologies of manufacture
of gun barrels and ammunition. The chronological framework of our study was limited
to the Medieval Period. The lower chronological limit is obviously set by the earliest
mentions on the appearance of firearms in Central Europe. For the state of the Teu-
tonic Order in Prussia it is the year 1374, or perhaps even 1362. The first mention
from the Kingdom of Bohemia is dated to 1373, while data from Poland and Hungary
are a decade later. The year 1500 was adopted as an approximate upper chronologi-
cal limit. The territorial scope of the work encompasses the present-day territories of
Bohemia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romanian Transylvania.
Transformations of hand-held firearms, not only in Central Europe in the period
from the late 14th to the beginning of the 16th c. are very poorly examined. The earliest
known specimens represent such a great variety of forms that it is enormously difficult
to undertake any attempts of their systematisation. For this period three basic types
of hand-held firearms can be isolated. These are piszczel guns, hackbuts and hand-
gonnes. In this work, the term piszczel gun is used for the prototype of all later kinds
of hand-held firearms. The piszczel gun was a short barrel, circular or polygonal in its
cross-section, with a reinforced powder chamber. On the other hand, handgonnes are
defined as weapons consisting of a longer barrel provided with a primitive Jock and
a stock. The stock is provided with a clearly marked downward-pointed butt.
The earliest piszczel guns which are known to us can be divided into large-calibre
specimens and a peculiar groups of small-calibre short barrels. The first group includes
finds from the following localities: Kutna Hora, Moravská Třebová, Ostrožska Nová
Ves, Poběžovice, Rychleby and Koszyce (cat. Nos. 15, 17, 20, 45, 47, and 125). These
specimens are extraordinarily massive. They are either cast of bronze or forged from
iron, with very short bores, their length being between from 3-4.5 (cat. Nos. 47, 12) to
9.5-10 calibres (cat. Nos. 17, 45). These guns are quite heavy (cat. No. 17 - 11.6 kg) and
their calibres are usually large, up to 4 cm (cat. No. 45). These guns were mounted on
heavy log-shaped stocks using iron bands. Less often, they were mounted on a wooden
shaft using a socket. These specimens are dated to the last decades of the 14th c. and
the first decade of the 15th c.
A peculiar assemblage of Central European piszczel guns are finds with extremely
short barrels (up to 10 cm) and small calibres. These are known from the castles of
Rokštejn and Křivoklát, as well as from Kalisz (cat. Nos. 14, 85, and 94). Their cali-
bres oscillate between 6 mm and 1.3 cm, while their weight does not exceed 0.5 kg.
Such guns were in use in the late 14th - the 2nd quarter of the 15th c. These may have
been training weapons, intended to make warriors familiar with the principles of use
of new arms.
As early as the late 14th c. a new kind of hand-held firearms went into use, namely
hackbuts. The earliest specimens are known from the armoury in Pilzno (cat. Nos.
21-23) and from the National Museum in Prague (cat. No. 53). Their characteristic
409
traits are short stout barrels with large calibres (between 2.6 and 3.5 cm) and the length
between 9 and 14 calibres. Their hooks were manufactured as separate parts and were
either mounted on the barrels or fastened directly to the stock.
The earliest piszczel guns and hackbuts demonstrate an enormous variety of forms.
Their range and effectiveness was low. The evolution of this kind of weapons in the 1st
quarter of the 15th c. consisted in extending the length of the barrel, which improved the
range and accuracy. In the case of piszczel guns, changes led to a formation of modern
forms, whose shape resembled Gothic columns. Their muzzle parts were narrower
and their chamber parts were clearly thickened. Such barrels from the 2nd-3rd quarters
of the 15th c. include finds from: the Curonian Spit, Pest, Tabor, Visegräd, Znojmo,
Żleby and the Museums in Budapest and in Lębork (cat. Nos. 48, 49, 52, 95, 95, 159,
170, and 193). In the specimens from the end of the 1st quarter and the beginning of the
2nd quarter of the 15th c. (Znojmo, Tabor) the barrels are still short (8-15.5 calibres), but
the length of the barrels from the mid-15th c. reaches 24 calibres (cat. Nos. 52, 95, 96).
In the 3rd quarter of the 15th c. it exceeds the length of 30 calibres (cat. No. 170).
Hackbuts which are datable to the 2nd-3rd quarter of the 15th c. usually have polyg-
onal cross-sections of their barrels. Specimens from: Vac, the National Museum in
Kraków, the Polish Army Museum in Warszawa, Pobezovice, Mostar and Devin are
made from bronze (cat. Nos. 46, 97, 98, 123, 158, 167). They are remarkable for their
small or medium calibres (between 1.0 and 1.9 cm). An increase in the length of the
barrel is accompanied with an increase in the weight of the weapon, which can be up
to c. 5 kg (cat. Nos. 97, 98, and 159). A characteristic trait of hackbuts from the 2nd-3rd
quarter of the 15th c. is a touch hole placed on the top of the barrel.
We can also see an increase in size in the case of hackbuts forged from iron. These
are longer and longer, and were provided with sockets to accommodate a wooden
shaft. Their plans were divided into 2 or 3 parts which were shifted in relation to one
another, thus forming an axis which was helpful in aiming. The analysed assemblage
includes as many as 26 specimens which fit into the chronological framework of
the 2nd-3rd quarter of the 15th c. (cat. Nos. 13, 16, 19, 24-29, 35, 37, 57, 126, 135-138,
142-144, 155, 160, 164, 172, 175, and 176). Only a few ones are shorter than 70 cm
(e.g., cat. Nos. 13, 24, and 57). The most common length is between c. 85 and 95 cm,
but sometimes the length of 100 cm is exceeded (cat. Nos. 16, 29, 137, and 164).
On the other hand, in relative terms these lengths are between 25 and 35 calibres. The
weight of weapons also increases and specimens exceeding 10 kg are also known.
Gathered data demonstrates that in the end of the 1st half of the 15th c. the development
of hackbuts starts to go along two ways. Some hackbuts are still personal weapons of
infantrymen, but heavier siege defense hackbuts with the calibre of about 3 cm also
came into being.
In hand-held firearms in the 2nd half of the 15th c. a shift of the touch hole to the
right side of the weapon took place. In this case, an S-shaped rod was used to ignite
the charge. This rod was called serpentine and it was attached directly to the stock.
We know 26 specimens altogether where this solution can be found (cat. Nos. 4-11,
30-34, 51, 54, 99-100, 122, 124, 127, 145, 153, 162, 163, 173-174). Barrels of such fire-
arms can be relatively light, as, e.g., in the specimens from Gajary (cat. No. 124), the
National Museum in Bratislava (cat. No. 127) and the Polish Army Museum (cat. Nos.
99, 100). Their weight is between 7 and 11 kg, their length does not exceed 90 cm and
their calibre is 2-3 cm. However, the assemblage of large-size siege defense hackbuts
410
is much more numerous. The heaviest one (cat. No. 174) weights (without its stock)
as much as 24.7 kg and is nearly 120 cm long. The increase in weight resulted not only
from the fact that barrels became longer, but also that their walls became thicker.
The next stage in the evolution of hackbuts can be seen in specimens from Pilzno
(cat. Nos. 36, 38-41) and Bitov (cat. No. 1). Their characteristic trait is the bottom part
with a rectangular tenon provided with an opening. Thanks to this, it was possible
to use a more modern stock with a primitive butt. These specimens are dated to the
3rd/4£h quarter of the 15th c. Further transformations led towards adaptation of the touch
hole to modern solutions. Three barrels from the Museum in Pilzno (cat. Nos. 42-44),
as well as specimens from Brno (cat. No. 2), Sibiu (cat. No. 139), and Šopron (cat. No.
166) have flat bottoms, and the role of the bottom tenon with an opening was taken
over by a loop near the bottom of the barrel. The touch hole is shifted to the right side.
Such weapons were in use in the 4th quarter of the 15th c. At the turn of the 15th and 16th
c. hackbuts are already equipped with touch holes on their right side. The touch holes
are provided with rectangular plates with hollows for powder. We know 5 such speci-
mens altogether (cat. Nos. 3, 12, 56, 101, 171).
One of remarkable types of hackbuts which were found in the territories related to
the Medieval Kingdom of Hungary are finds with stocks in the shape of a flat metal
sheet plait (cat. Nos. 141, 154, 156-157, 169). Barrels of such hackbuts are circular in
cross-section and they were adapted for firing projectiles of average size (2-2.5 cm).
The touch hole is accompanied with a small bowl-shaped priming pan. This type is
dated to the end of the 15tb and the 1st quarter of the 16th c.
In the late 15th c. a new type of hand-held firearms became part of infantry equip-
ment. It was the handgonne and it replaced obsolete piszczel guns. Handgonnes were
provided with stocks with well-shaped butts and they also had primitive locks. Written
and iconographic sources testify to the use of handgonnes in Central Europe since the
1490s.
Medieval Central European artillery encompassed the following types of guns:
terrace-guns, light field cannons (houfnice), veuglaires and battering cannons or bom-
bards. Terrace-guns are defined as cannons provided with small-calibre (between 4 and
10 cm) barrels, whose length was about 21-29 calibres. Such cannons were provided
with reinforced powder chambers. We know 14 such specimens from the territory of
Central Europe (cat. Nos. 58-70, 128). They are made from iron and the length of the
barrel does not exceed 140 cm. Within this assemblage, two cannons fired projectiles
with diameters of 2.8-3 cm (cat. Nos. 59, 63), while another seven launched projectiles
with diameters not exceeding 4 cm (cat. Nos. 64-70). More than a half of the barrels
are longer than 20-25 calibres, and some are even more than 30 calibres long. In earlier
specimens the barrel is basically straight and cylindrical (cat. Nos. 60, 63). Later spec-
imens (cat. Nos. 61, 62, 67, 68, 129) are provided with very thick bottom parts.
Light field cannons were characterised with narrow powder chambers and wider
chase parts. Their barrels were short; their length was between 3.5-4 to 7 calibres and
their muzzle diameters were between 10 and 23 cm. We know only 2 original spec-
imens of such guns: from Kurzętnik in Poland and from Nový Bydžov in the Czech
Republic (cat. No. 71, 102). The find from Kurzętnik was cast of copper. The length of
its barrel is 50.7 cm and its calibre is 13.5 cm. The specimen from Nový Bydžov was
forged from iron. Its total length is 53.5 cm, and its calibre is 11 cm. Barrels of light
field cannons were usually mounted on carriages.
41
An interesting type of Medieval cannons were veuglaires, which were breech-load-
ing with the use of separate powder chambers. Their advantage was a higher rate
of fire. Remains of veuglaires in the territory of Central Europe are rather frequently
found and we know 15 specimens altogether (cat. Nos. 72, 103-111, 177-181). These
can be divided into two groups. The first one includes small conical chambers used in
hand-held firearms or small-calibre light cannons (cat. Nos. 110, 111). The other group
are cylindrical or polyhedral chambers for cannons firing projectiles with diameters
between 4-6 cm (cat. Nos. 105-109) and 13 cm (cat. No. 72).
For the 14th-15th c., bombards can be defined as cannons with barrels having wider
chase parts and much narrower bottoms. The length of such barrels is 3-7 calibres.
These were assembled from iron bars or cast of bronze. In the discussed assemblage
there are only two specimens of such siege cannons, which are stored in the Army
Museum in Budapest (cat. Nos. 182, 183). Their length is 110 and 141 cm, while the
calibre is 22 and 24 cm respectively. They were made from a number of bars and rims,
analogously to such European specimens as Dulle Griet from Ghent or Mons Meg
from the castle in Edinburgh.
The issue of ammunition for hand-held firearms and artillery was discussed sep-
arately. There are 407 finds of projectiles classified as these for hand-held firearms.
These projectiles were made from various raw materials. In the assemblage there were
stone projectiles made from granite, sandstone or limestone. We know 45 such pro-
jectiles altogether, i.a., from the sites in: Puck, Wenecja near Żnin, Krosno, Nowe
Miasto nad Wartą, Muszyna, Devin near Bratislava, Rymaŕov and Vortnov. Their cal-
ibres usually exceed 2 cm, which means that they were mainly used as ammunition
for hackbuts. In the Middle Ages, lead projectiles were dominant. Out of 407 finds
included in the catalogue, as many as 158 were made from this raw material. Ball-
shaped projectiles are the most numerous in this assemblage, and their total num-
ber is 114. The greatest number of such finds is known from the castle of Lopata
in the Czech Republic. Smaller assemblages are known from: Lichnice, Kladruby,
Dolany, Wenecja, Puck and Bardo. A separate subgroup are lead bullets with iron
cores (25 specimens). The greatest number of such projectiles is known from the castle
of Sión in the Czech Republic.
A peculiar assemblage of ammunition are cylinder-shaped projectiles for hand-held
firearms. In this group there are 44 specimens altogether and it includes both finds
made from lead only, as well as those with iron cores. Another 14 finds are cylinders
forged from iron. So far, such projectiles have been found only at sites from the pres-
ent-day Czech Republic. The earliest finds (from the beginning of the 15th c.) are these
from the castle of Tepenec. Their maximum diameter is up to 3.45 cm and their weight
is up to 0.25 kg. Finds from the following localities: Rokštejn, Rýmaŕov, Dolany,
Sión, Lopata, Rabštejn and Slavkov are dated to the time of the Hussite Revolution.
Later finds (the 2nd half of the 15th c.) are projectiles from Vortnov and Msténice. From
the castles of Lacembok and Sión we know four lead cylinders with iron cores inside.
On the other hand, 14 iron specimens are known from Lopata and Mstenice. Apart
from small cylinders, with calibres of 1.2-1.5 cm and the weight of 10-13 g we also
know specimens with diameters exceeding 3 cm and the weight of more than 0.25 kg.
A numerous group are iron bullets for hand-held firearms. There are 120 such finds
altogether. These were especially popular in Slovakia and the Czech Republic and
are known from such sites as Červený Kameň, Spišský Hrad near Levoča, Visegrád,
412
Moravany nad Vâhem, Łopata, Râbi, and Mstenice. In Poland, they are known only
from the sites in Puck and Muszyna.
Glass was no question a peculiar raw material which was used in the manufacture
of ammunition. For the first time such projectiles were found at the castle in Wenecja
near Żnin. Their diameters are between 1.1 and 1.6 cm. The most numerous assem-
blage of such finds was yielded in the course of excavations at the castle in Puck.
The total number of finds is as many as 35 and their diameters are 1.3-1.8 cm. These
finds were discovered in layers related to the siege of 1464. Present-day research
demonstrated that it was possible to use glass in the manufacture of ammunition for
firearms. Firing tests with the use of glass bullets produced very good results. More
doubts are provoked by possible battlefield use of projectiles made from fired clay.
Such bullets were found at: Wenecja, Gniezno, Jemiołów, Chojnice, Rymafov and
Grunwald. Firing tests with such ammunition did not yield unequivocal results.
Within the group of artillery projectiles (1063 specimens) we isolated stone can-
nonballs (various kinds of volcanic and sedimentary rocks), lead projectiles and iron
projectiles (both forged and cast). In this assemblage, stone cannonballs clearly dom-
inate. Granite and its variants were commonly used. 632 cannonballs made from this
rock were documented, which is nearly 60% of the entire assemblage, e.g.: Brodnica,
Człuchów, Elbląg, Malbork, Reszel and Toruń. Artillery projectiles were also made
from sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone or limestone. In the territory of Poland,
such projectiles are most often found in Lesser Poland and Silesia: Będzin, Gliwice,
Gniewoszów, Biecz, Monasterzec and Sanok. In the territory of the Czech Republic,
Slovakia and Hungary, sandstone was almost exclusively used for the manufacture
of cannonballs (with possible use of limestone). More important assemblages include
/ V V
projectiles from the following localities: Karlśtejn, Pilzno, Brno-Spilberk, Cesky Ster-
nberk, Cvilfn, Vortnov, Bratysława and Devin, Koszyce and Vac.
Finds of Medieval artillery ammunition cast of lead are sporadic now. A solid
specimen made from lead is known from Puck, while a lead-iron specimen is known
from the castle in Barwałd — Góra Żary. Another two such specimens are known from
the castles of Toszek and of Devin. Another variant is a projectile from the castle of
Ogrodzieniec - in this case, its core is made from stone. Iron projectiles were also
commonly used as ammunition for lighter cannons in the Middle Ages. The earliest
finds are known from the territory of the Czech Republic: Łopata, Râbi and Cvilin.
These are dated to the 1st half of the 15th c. In the 2nd half of the 15th c. forged projec-
tiles were replaced with cast ones. One of such finds is the bullet from Muszyna,
which is dated to before 1474. Projectiles from the castles of Cvilin and Vortnov are of
similar chronology.
The assemblage of artillery projectiles in the catalogue may also offer a basis
for an attempt at classification of Medieval ammunition according to their calibres.
The assemblage was divided into three groups. The first one includes projectiles with
calibres between c. 3.5 and 10 cm. Ammunition for such cannons was referred to
as bosskugeln, or projectiles of the size of a bowling ball. The second group of pro-
jectiles (11-25 cm) includes cannonballs defined in Medieval sources as these of the
size of a human head. The third group are projectiles with calibres exceeding 25 cm,
referred to in Medieval records as those of the size of a bucket.
The next chapter discusses the range, effectiveness and tactical principles of
use of firearms during battles and sieges. The effectiveness of early artillery in the
413
destruction of fortifications was far from satisfactory. We find mentions in written
sources on completely ineffective bombardments, in spite of the fact that significant
resources were used. This was the case of, e.g., Malbork in 1410, Karlštejn in 1422/13,
Pilzno in the years 1433 and 1434, Chojnice in 1433 and 1454, as well as Głogów in
1488. It was more often possible to capture smaller castles, such as, e.g., Bolesławiec
in 1396 or Běchyne in 1428.
Data on effective range of Medieval firearms is provided by archaeological research
on siege posts. An optimal distance of an artillery post to the target did not exceed
300 m, and in a few cases it is only 100 m or slightly more (Tab. 11). Concerning hand-
held firearms, the examples of the castles of Lopata and Sión (Tab. 11) demonstrate
that the usual distance between shooters’ posts and the target was between c. 90 and
125 m. However, one of such posts in the neighbourhood of the castle of Lopata was
situated at the distance of as many as 160-175 m from the target. This is in contrast to
pieces of information on the maximum range of cannons. Mentions in written sources
testify to numerous instances of firing at distances between 2 and 5 km.
Based on descriptions of use of firearms in the earliest stage of their develop-
ment, it can be said that the use of firearms posed numerous problems, which were
often difficult to solve. Artillery which was used for the first time during the battle of
Grunwald in 1410 by the Teutonic Order did not play any significant role. It was only
military activities related to the Hussite Revolution (1419-1434) that had a significant
impact on the increase of importance of firearms. Firearms (both hand-held ones and
cannons) started to be used as mandatory equipment of battle wagons. During such
battles as, e.g., Wyszehrad and Kutna Hora in 1420, Ústí in 1426 and Lipany in 1434,
it already played a significant role. Mass fire caused confusion in the ranks of attack-
ers, it deprived them of advantage, and sudden roar and flash of firearms resulted in
panic. Thanks to this, it was possible to counterattack after repulsing the charge.
The spread of firearms and the Wagenburg led to a tactical stagnation. The Hus-
site Wars demonstrated that cavalry and infantry were unable to effectively fight the
Wagenburg and its defensive force. Therefore, a new means of fighting was searched
for, in order to break this impasse. Artillery was supposed to be this means, as it was
the only force capable of destroying the Wagenburg without getting exposed to losses.
Artillery was therefore developed and it came to artillery duels between two armies.
This occurred i.a. at Tabor in 1438 and at Rokycany in 1450. The part which was able
to gather advantage in the range and accuracy of fire won the battle. Such a success,
however, did not decide the fate of the campaign, due to a low mobility of contem-
porary artillery. It was possible to withdraw securely and resume fighting in more
convenient circumstances. With regard to that, it was attempted at breaking the tacti-
cal impasse by cooperation of infantry and cavalry with the Wagenburg and artillery.
The beginning of these transformations can be dated to the period of the war between
the Bohemian King George of Poděbrady and the Hungarian ruler Matthias Corvinus,
waged in 1468-1471. At that time, the Czechs worked out principles of manoeuvring of
the Wagenburg in the direct proximity to the enemy.
However, profound changes with regard to this issue took place only at the begin-
ning of the 16th c. Improved firearms, both hand-held and artillery, were deprived of
protection of battle wagons. It became possible to use strong groupings of infantry
and cannons. This tactics was applied by the Polish troops at Orsza in 1514 and by the
Turkish forces at Mohács in 1526. Troops which were deployed in such a manner, being
414
hidden in an ambush and possessing a considerable firepower, were successfully used
in order to break the offensive force of the adversary.
Principles of laying sieges to fortified places with the use of firearms were worked
out at the very beginning of existence of such weapons. Due to imperfections of
the earliest artillery, it was very difficult to demolish fortifications in such a manner
that a successful assault would be possible. It was therefore attempted at deploying
artillery posts in several places, in order to make several breaches in fortifications
and at the same time to make the adversaries loosen their defence. Furthermore,
bombardment was also supposed to be of harassing nature. It was meant to weaken
the morale of besieged troops and cause fires which would pose a threat to lives
of the garrison and inhabitants. It was attempted at selecting conveniently shaped
places for artillery posts. Such places were usually rises of terrain located in the
closest vicinity of the target. Sometimes it was possible to find such a location which
allowed to tower over posts of defenders. In the case of i.a. sieges of the castles of
Bechyne in 1428 and Łopata in 1432/1433, siege positions survived until present.
These positions were examined archaeologically. The surviving position at Bechyne
was situated on a hill near a branching of rivers. It was located to the S of the castle,
at a distance of about 250 m from its centre. Probably two throwing engines and four
bombards were deployed there. On the other hand, research in the vicinity of the
castle of Łopata allowed for recording of as many as 137 features related to the siege.
These features can be classified as: posts for bombards and their crews, post for
light artillery and posts for shooters with hand-held firearms. When discussing the
siege of the castle of Łopata, one must underline diversified directions of bombard-
ment, depending on the lie of the land. The bombardment was intensively carried
out from three sides, and the heaviest cannons were used in an attempt at destroying
castle towers.
More serious problems were faced during sieges of such places as fortified towns or
especially large castles. In such cases, a basic difficulty was posed by a need to organ-
ise a tight blockade of the selected place, in order to cut it off from any communication
with the external world. Among many known sieges in the 15th c., the siege of Malbork
in 1410 stands out. It lasted from 25 July to 19 September 1410 and it failed, in spite of
the use of strong artillery force. Another example is the siege of Głogów in 1488, car-
ried out by Hungarian troops. The hostilities lasted from 19 May to November 1488,
which was almost a half of the year. The Hungarian troops were equipped with numer-
ous pieces of artillery, including three large bombards from Wrocław, Świdnica and
Legnica. These cannons inflicted considerable damage in the town during the siege.
However, two of these burst. The town surrendered only after the stores of food had
run out, and not due to bombardment. The course of events at Malbork and Głogów
demonstrates that during sieges of large centres with the use of the heaviest artillery
it was difficult to achieve measurable success.
The last chapter is devoted to technical issues in the manufacture of old firearms.
Barrels of Medieval cannons were cast of copper alloys or made from iron. In the first
case, the manufacturing process can be divided into several stages: preparation of
a casting mould and raw materials, making of a foundry furnace, melting of raw mate-
rials and casting them into the mould, finishing works and firing trials. The process
of manufacture of barrels of hand-held firearms was considerably simple. In the end
of the 14th and at the beginning of the 15th c. such barrels were cast in clay moulds with
415
the cire perdue technology, and from the end of the 1st half of the 15th c. with the use of
wooden models.
An alternative technology was to make the barrel from iron. In the case of barrels
of lighter artillery, such as terrace-guns, light field cannons (houfnice) and veuglaires,
they could be made from one or a few pieces of iron. Significantly large costs occurred
in the case of manufacture of large cannons, with calibres of some dozen centimetres.
These large cannons were divided into two parts: the chase part and the powder cham-
ber part, which were then assembled into one. Individual parts were assembled from
a large number of bars and rims, and thus fully functional weapons were obtained.
In the analysed assemblage from Central Europe there are two bombards (cat. Nos. 183
and 184), whose barrels were made with the use of this technology.
A significant shortcoming of the earliest firearms was their low durability. This
often resulted from manufacturing deficiencies: bubbles of air in cast bronze barrels or
the low quality of iron in forged iron barrels. Another issue was incompetent operation
of firearms, first of all the use of too strong powder charges. Problems often occurred
with barrels having walls of uneven thickness or with oval cross-sections. In result of
such shortcomings, the projectile could jam in the barrel, which could led to a burst
of the latter’s walls.
The development of modern methods of research and documentation of specimens
of Late Medieval artillery in Europe allows to expect a further increase in the source
basis. This especially concerns the increase in the number of groups of finds related
to Medieval firearms with well-defined contexts. Thanks to this, it will be possible to
complete the present-day picture in the future.
