here's a small one as i suggested earlier, on a model ships boat and a similar small cannon mounted as a swivel gun on lewis and clarke's boat. i note most carronades had their trunnions much lower on the barrel, some later ones actually under the barrel, possibly to let you target objects closer to the ship/boat as carronades were very close range weapons favoured by the UK, during the american revolution and war of 1812, but one reason the US could stand off beyond carronade range and pound them into submission.
