🔥 Infantry Artillery Cannon – The Key Firepower of Napoleonic Battlefields! 🔥

Introducing a figurine of an infantry artillery cannon, a versatile element of every early 19th-century army. Infantry artillery was designed to move alongside infantry units and provide immediate fire support. Its mission: break enemy formations, destroy fortifications, and clear the way for infantry and cavalry assaults.

General Facts About Infantry Artillery

• Equipped with lighter cannons (usually 4–8 pounders), mobile enough for battlefield maneuvers
• Mounted on sturdy wooden carriages with iron fittings, drawn by horses
• Gun crews were trained for rapid loading and accurate fire, often under enemy fire
• Present in all major armies of the era – French, British, Austrian, Russian, and Prussian – always serving the same role: close-range infantry support

Range and Firepower

• Light infantry cannons (4–6 pounders) had an effective range of about 600–900 meters, maximum up to 1,200 meters
• Long-range fire was less accurate, so they were mainly used for direct fire on enemy formations
• Canister shot (against infantry at short range) was deadly up to 300 meters, making it a fearsome weapon for repelling attacks

This figurine depicts a cannon in battle position, ready to fire – an ideal addition for collectors who want to bring realistic firepower to their dioramas.
