I only have experience in video games, and in the vast majority of them the chainshot is the most OP shot type you can use. Enemies can't escape or evade you if their masts have all been cut in half. 😌

Chain shot but it has to be fired from a double barrel cannon

I gotta go with round shot. it really says “fuck you and your boat, I don’t even want to steal it from you” Carcass is cool too I guess. But it’s no 6” hole punched through the hull.

It fucking depends on the target weakness bro.

Pilk?

@TriflingToad@lemmy.world 2026-02-04 21:25
bar shot, because it also implies the existence of giants with piercings

The chain shot looks like it could hurt

Carcass shot. Who doesn't enjoy a little incendiary cannon shot?

Cross their T and rake the decks with grape shot!

@peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 2026-02-05 20:09
Best one is a round shot, but only if Baron Munchausen is ridding it.

@arrow74@lemmy.zip 2026-02-05 00:29
Canister shot all the way. Imagine having to charge a cannon position firing this stuff?

I came here for the drink damnit. I want something that does this Its effects are similar to "having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick."

Canister shot. I thought of something else when I saw the grape shot.

What exactly is "pilk"´?

@apftwb@lemmy.world 2026-02-06 03:40
Can someone make an copy of this but bar shot is clearly a nipple peircing.
-
@Etterra@discuss.online 2026-02-05 20:18
Canister shot is great for sweeping clean decks full of disagreeable royalists.

@hector@lemmy.today 2026-02-05 15:02
Carcass shot was at least originally out of howitzers with a fuse to blow over the heads of the fired on. And it was like gunpowder and I think turnpentine and I forget wrapped in canvas with iron rings around it, the iron rings would turn into shrapnel when it exploded. Every so often the fuse would fault and blow up the gun crew.

Okay, so each has its use but I would offer this assuming we're in a stern chase. Chain and bar to disable or at least lower speed and maneuverability so that the foe is unable to escape. Rake the stern with round to disable guns as you come up alongside, if you're able to slow them enough, try to get raking shots from both broadsides by zig zagging your course. Canister and grape from your upper deck guns to sweep the foe if you intend to carry them via boarding, if not pound away with round shot and if you can, rake them again from forward if you over haul.

Don't forget Hot Shot (heated shot).

@LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2026-02-06 00:55
Langrage. Kind of just the kitchen sink of whatever the fuck you had around. Often used by pirates because at close range when attempting to board you can shred a lot more people and also do a lot of damage to sails in quick time

Grape shot's a great shot

@QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 2026-02-06 17:49
every time I see bar shot I think of a tiktok post that said "giants exist, here is proof" implying it's a giant nipple piercing

@Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2026-02-06 02:37
Hotchkiss and parrot, because I like to put my own spin on these kinds of things.
