Hello everybody, I was wondering if for quick reference purposes we could compile a comprehensive list of the various types of artillery pieces used in the war. In researching Civil War artillery lately I'm amazed at the variety of pieces in use, way more than I had thought previously. Here's a list of what pieces I've found so far in service with Union forces:
6-pdr. field gun Model 1841
12-pdr. field gun Model 1857 ("Napoleon" gun)
10-pdr. Parrott Rifle
20-pdr. Parrott Rifle
30-pdr. Parrott Rifle
14-pdr. James Rifles (three types)
3-in. Ordnance Rifle
12-pdr. howitzer Model 1841
12-pdr. mountain howitzer Model 1841
24-pdr. howitzer
24-pdr. Coehorn mortar Model 1841
24-pdr. Model 1839 siege rifle (rifled with James method)
32-pdr. Model 1829 siege rifle (rifled with James method)
42-pdr. Model 1841 siege rifle (rifled with James method)
4.5-in. Siege Rifle
8-in. Rodman Columbiad
10-in. Rodman Columbiad
15-in. Rodman Columbiad
100-pdr. Parrott Rifle
200-pdr. Parrott Rifle
300-pdr. Parrott Rifle
8-in. siege mortar Model 1841
10-in. siege mortar Model 1841
10-in. seacoast mortar Model 1841
13-in. seacoast mortar Model 1861
Am I missing any? Surely I must have forgotten one or two here or there.
