blackjohn Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Thanks Corsair, that's wonderful. One of the subjects on my mail list for the last couple days has been grenades, and I think this will answer everyone's questions! Blackjohn ps - another topic of conversation lately has been Whydah muskets, what types were they, and what kind of side-plates have been found. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
corsair2k3 Posted October 24, 2004 Author Posted October 24, 2004 I'll take that as a hint... The Corsair
Captain_MacNamara Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 hmmm.... *imagines adding "period" style Grenades to my Cannon-firing demo...* Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
corsair2k3 Posted October 24, 2004 Author Posted October 24, 2004 Well, grenades could be from coehorn mortars... Might liven things up considerably... The Corsair
Captain_MacNamara Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Now you've given me another idea, dangit... Fireworks-style artillery shells fired from a coehorn mortar... Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
corsair2k3 Posted October 24, 2004 Author Posted October 24, 2004 One of the best ways of dispersing crowds that I can think of... The Corsair Who notes that 18th-century grenades were pretty dangerous even when simply hurled.
Patrick Hand Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Who notes that 18th-century grenades were pretty dangerous even when simply hurled. .... But I thought that was the whole idea behind them......
kass Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 The discussion of making safe grenades has been moved to its own thread so this thread can continue the discussion of historical grenades. You can visit the new thread here: https://pyracy.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3570 Your Empress, Kass Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
