It also allowed for cannoniers to be able to sit on the ammunition chests of the battery itself during transportation , allowing the whole artillery train to move as fast as the infantry or cavalry . Valée also improved the guns themselves slightly , by making them lighter , and with a longer range . The complete Valée system consisted in siege guns of 24 and 16 pounds ( French pounds ) , and field guns of 12 and 8 pounds . It also included field howitzers of 24 pounds and 6 inches ( Obusier de 15 cm ) , and a siege howitzer of 8 inches . Mountain artillery pieces were of 12 pound caliber .

An American version of the Valee system was also developed . Some pieces are visible at the Concord Battery , Concord , Massachusetts . A new generation of weapons would emerge in shell - firing canon obusier s , with the invention of the naval shell - gun by Paixhans in 1823 , and the introduction of the canon obusier de 12 in 1853 by the French Army , which would render the Valée system system obsolete .
