Three-Pounder Cannons: Light Field Guns of the 18th and 19th Centuries

A three-pounder is a type of cannon that fires a projectile weighing three pounds (1.4 kg). It was commonly used in the 18th and 19th centuries as a light field gun, and was often mounted on wheels or a carriage to make it portable. The term "three-pounder" is still used today to refer to any small cannon or artillery piece that fires a projectile of that weight.
