Here is a great little article from the capt of the CSS Cotton which show that necessity is indeed the mother of invention. The cotton only had 2 guns a 9lber and a 32lber. She was only in 2 engagements and both were against 4 yankee gunboats. One report I read says that one of the yankee boats sustained over 50 hits so now can see why the ran out of ammo.
