UPLS - British 3-Pounder Cannon

-------< DESIGNED FOR 128 ITERATIONS, CONTINUOUS, VSYNC OFF >-------

This is a somewhat generic british 3-pounder field cannon based off some examples
from videos and images.
not that accurate due to the lack of exact details about 18th century cannons.

The designation of "3 Pounder" simply means the projectile weighs 3 pounds.
there were larger guns, going up to stuff like 32 pounders.

I recommend disabling hovering highlights, it lets you see the gun a lot better.
Open pause menu, go to Settings, and in 'General' there is 'Show hovering highlights'.
(not as important with something this big though)

This requires 'Quality of Life Items', but you don't need it turned on in-game.
