The scale marked on the base ring / breech of this replica Blomefield pattern 18-pounder "long gun" shows the degree of elevation [achieved by adding or removing wedges] which coupled with firing on the up or down roll determined whether the roundshot would hit rigging or the hull of the target ship. [chain shot was usually fired at rigging]
