Thanks for the welcome guys, yes i was hoping Mr."Matchlock" would join the discussion, i am sure he could give some information on the matter.

An inventory from the castle survive from the year 1536, the year after the castle was besieged. It shows that the castle was crammed with firepower.
Some 36 arcubusses or hookguns and 17 cannons of various caliber, some very large indeed. And many of them cast i bronce.

Regarding canister: I know of the "Riddarholm ship" found in Stockholm. A ship sunk i the harbour contaning canons, of wish one of them still had a grapeshot canister in the barrel.

regards
