[[Cannon]]s and mortars used on both sides during the [[Siege of Boston]] were made of brass or [[iron]]. Some were 3 meters long with a weight of 2 tons. These cannons shot projectiles of around 10 kilos over more than 3 km. A dozen highly trained men were required to use them at an average firing capacity of 4 projectiles per minute. Though having a notable destructive power, this kind of artillery was not accurate. During the evacuation of [[Boston]] in 1776, the [[United Kingdom|British]] fired around 700 cannonballs, but only 4 victims were reported.
