context_page_description: The Canon de 6 système An XI was a French cannon and part of the Year XI system of artillery. It was part of the field artillery, and complemented the Gribeauval system.
  The canon de 6 système An XI was used extensively during the Napoleonic wars. It was considered as a good intermediate between the Canon de 8 Gribeauval, considered to be too heavy for field artillery, and the Canon de 4 Gribeauval, considered as too light and lacking striking power.
  One of the characteristics of the Canon de 6 is that its design is even simpler than that of the Gribeauval cannons, as it lacks reinforcing mould rings, except for the one before the muzzle.
