carronade

English

The lighthouse included a launch ramp for a lifeboat, as well as an old naval carronade for firing blank charges as a crude foghorn. en.wikipedia.org

As a result, the carronade had an unusually high centre of gravity. en.wikipedia.org

The short barrel, low muzzle velocity and short range also increased the risk that a carronade would eject burning wadding onto nearby combustible materials, increasing the risk of fire. en.wikipedia.org
