Saker ( cannon ) The saker was a medium cannon slightly smaller than a culverin developed during the early 16th century and often used by the English . It was named after the Saker Falcon , a large falconry bird native to the Middle East . A saker ' s barrel was approximately 9 . 5 ft ( 2 . 9m ) long , had a calibre of 3 . 25 inches ( 8 . 26 cm ) and weighed approximately 1900 lb ( 860 kg ) . It could fire round shot weighing 5 . 25 lb ( 2 . 4 kg ) approximately 7400 ft ( 2 . 3 km ) using 4 lb ( 1 . 8 kg ) of black powder . The shot ( designed well before explosive artillery had been devised ) was intended to bounce along the ground to cause as much damage as possible . Tests performed in France during the 1950s show a saker ' s range was over 9000 ft ( 2 . 7 km ) when fired at a 45 - degree angle . Henry VIII amassed a large arsenal of sakers in the early 16th century as he expanded the Royal Navy and came into conflict with France . Henry ' s foundries used so much bronze that there was a world shortage of tin . According to the inventory in the Anthony Roll the " Mary Rose " carried several sakers , though none have been found so far and may have been recovered by salvagers soon after the disaster . Sakers were heavily used during the English Civil War , especially during sieges when they were used by both attackers and defenders of fortified towns . They also saw action in the Jacobite rising and were used by the armies of both William III and James II at the Battle of the Boyne . A French version of the saker , the " moyenne " , meaning " middle sized " , was often used at sea . Venetian merchant ships often carried sakers to defend themselves from pirates , and similar cannons have been found on Spanish Armada wrecks . In the New World the colonists removed the naval guns from their ships for use in land engagements , often installed in the forts they built to protect their newly founded towns from French , Spanish and hostile Indians .
