A Siege Gun is a type of artillery designed for use in warfare, particularly during sieges. These powerful weapons are capable of firing large projectiles over long distances, making them effective for breaching fortifications and walls. Historically, siege guns played a crucial role in battles, allowing armies to attack fortified positions from a distance. Siege guns were often mounted on wheeled carriages for mobility and could fire various types of ammunition, including explosive shells and solid shot. Notable examples include the Dardanelles Gun and the Parrott rifle, which were used in different conflicts to enhance siege tactics and support ground troops.
