Some mention is probably needed that British, French, etc. measures for a pound are not equal, thus the caliber measurements are also not equal, nor is the weight of shot. Thus while everyone’s 24 pounders are somewhat close… the specific technical details are not the same as differing systems of weights and measures are at work, and the “specifications” provided in the article are at best for a single specific model in one country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:793F:5BE8:C8B5:DFEB:4B38:90CC (talk) 18:22, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
