In my previous video, I covered how naval guns were operated during the Age of Sail. In this video, we’ll take a look at how pirates actually used them. One of my commenters asked me why I didn’t go more into how the guns were actually used tactically, in comparison to their media coverage. Well, media basically got everything wrong.
