			Some extremely early swivel cannons mounted to the rails had barrels exactly like this shape- See Gilkerson's 'Boarders Away 2', pg 47, which fired 'hail-shot', the first form of schrapnel of its kind. It fired odd block-like shot that was stacked like bricks. I'm assumiing it was swapped in come sort of carcass.
