Sawyer rifled cannon proposed for naval use at Kip Raps
Reports from Fort Monros and Rip Rapa describe the Sawyer rifled projectile mounted at Kip Raps. Experiments show extreme destructive potential, with ranges claimed near three miles and a half. The iron shell, filled with powder and capped by a detonating charge, defeats timber targets and plated armor. The War Department supports testing and notes the weapon's superiority over older smoothbore arms.
