		In the 16th century the "Great Guns" were classified according to size, with such names as "cannon royal" (see Tsar Cannon), "demi-cannon", "culverin", "demi-culverin", "falcon", "falconer", "minion" etc., but by the 18th century they were classified by the weight of the round shot that they fired.
		The gun barrel was mounted on a wheeled carriage balanced on two "trunnions", the short metal projections on either side of the barrel invented by an unknown Dutchman.

	NPS Interpretive Series: Artillery Through the Ages
		Culverins, with their thick walls, long bores, and heavy powder charges, achieved distance; but second class guns like field "cannon," with less metal and smaller charges, ranged about 1,600 yards at a maximum, while the effective range was hardly more than 500.
		Spanish double-fortified culverins were charged with the full weight of the ball in powder; four-fifths that amount went into the legitimate, and only two-thirds for the bastard culverin.
		In a legitimate culverin of 6-inch caliber, for instance, the bore wall at the vent might be one caliber (16/16 of the bore diameter) or 6 inches thick; at the trunnions it would be 10/16 or 4-1/8 inches, and at the smallest diameter of the chase, 7/16 or 2-5/8 inches.

	Gunpowder Weapons of the Late Fifteenth Century
		Culverin and veuglaire were cannon of narrower diameter and considerably greater ratio of barrel-length to bore-diameter than that for bombards.
		The culverins and veuglaire type guns proved to be versatile and effective guns in the late medieval period.
		This factor, along with their more managable size, caused culverins and veuglaires to be the first types of gunpowder pieces to be used in open-field battles.

		A legitimate culverin, for instance, was "rich" enough in metal to take as much powder as the ball weighed.
		The bore length of a legitimate culverin, said Collado, was 30 calibers (30 times the bore diameter), so its powder charge was the same as the weight of the ball.
		If the gunner came across a culverin only 24 calibers long, he must load this piece with only 24/30 of the ball's weight.

		Cannon Shells only stack to 12, which is a large part of why the Culverin is not a popular weapon for long-term use in exp/HNM scenarios.
		If I'm not mistaken, a Culverin also comes with a -10 to R. Acc, but by level 75 when you can actually use it, with reasonable gear vs. common HNMs (the Ram brothers, Roc, Serket, etc.), it shouldn't be that big of a deal.
		Another "detractor" in the Culverin argument is the high delay.

		This is the Culverin for any that haven't seen it: http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?fitem=4007
		This + (cannonshell) the Culverin does more damage than any other weapon or spell in the entire game.
		They only stack to 12, if they stacked to 99 it would completely screw up the game balance (with barrage a RNG would be able to 0wn anything with 99 of these in a stack) And even as is, it's still way overpowered.

		As for the -10 ranged accuracy on the culverin, at lvl 75 with a well equipped ranger thats nothing, Half a Ranger's gear endgame gives +10 ranged accuracy so it offsets 1 peice of armor.
		I still hit Kirin regularly with the culverin and with good barrages and about a 90% hit rate on slug shot.
		The ONLY use cannon shells have according to my higher up rng friends is for the Culverin and it's +1 version.

		Somewhere along the way, it was decided that the best firepower per size/weight ratio came from the culverin and cannon weapons, and over time "cannon" came to be the common name.
