These massive-barreled weapons are unlike anything I have ever witnessed. I'm sure these were built for more bang than power.

Special thanks to Ian from Forgotten Weapons for sharing these wheellock hand mortars that may have been lost. They certainly are quite a piece of weapon's history worth saving.
