Cylindrical cannons, often referred to as "cannon tubes," had a long, straight barrel with a uniform diameter throughout its length, resembling a large metal tube. Typically made of cast iron or bronze, they featured a smooth or slightly textured surface. The muzzle was usually flared or reinforced, and they were mounted on a carriage for mobility. These cannons were designed to fire solid projectiles or explosive shells, and their shape contributed to more consistent projectile trajectory compared to earlier, more irregular designs.
