The primary use for the swivel gun was during civil and revolutionary wars, the naval and privateering vessels kept these small cannonlike guns for firing wads of grapeshot or small lead balls from the top of the deck rail at crew members on deck on the opposing vessel and the guns were pin mounted to enable rapid transfer form port to starbord rail as needed as they were primarally defensive wepons at the time.
There were two types of these guns the first being a muzzleloader and the latter a breechloader however both had the same job with the difference being reload time.
As a rule these guns had a bore diamater of around one to one and a quarter inch and were flash fired with a few vairants having a fuse.
They were mostly made of brass or bronze with an iron barrel cast into them, weight was between 85 and 150 pounds depending on bore size and vessel placement.
