Cannonball. Thudpowder equal to 25% of the weight of a cannon-ball is required to fire a cannonball from a cannon.
Chain and Bar Shot (12-pound). Two iron balls joined together by a chain or iron bar, used to destroy sails. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 250/1000 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (4d8) slashing damage. If the attack targets a ship’s sails, it has advantage and does an additional 18 (4d8) slashing damage.
Raijin Shot (12-pound). This iron ball is hollow and filled with Various Magical Reagents. When it hits its target, it explodes and sends shrapnel everywhere. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 400/1600 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d10) Lightning damage. Any creature within 5 feet of the target must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 5 (1d10) Lightning damage on a failed save. 
Grapeshot (1-pound). A canvas bag filled with musket balls, used to target multiple creatures at short range. When fired from a cannon, the bag breaks open, firing like a giant shotgun in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success.
