  • The 18-pounder short gun was an intermediary calibre piece of artillery mounted on warships and merchantmen of the Age of sail. It was a lighter version of the 18-pounder long gun, compromising power and range for weight. In his discussion of the single-ship action in which the French frigate Piémontaise captured the East Indiaman Warren Hastings on 11 June 1805, the naval historian William James compared the 18-pounder medium guns on Warren Hastings with the 18-pounder long guns that the British Royal Navy used. The medium 18-pounder was 6 ft (1.8 m) long, and weighed 263⁄4 Cwt (2,996 lb (1,359.0 kg)); the Royal Navy's long 18-pounder was 9 ft (2.7 m) and weighed 421⁄2 Cwt (4,760 lb (2,159.1 kg)). (en)
