The M1841 6 Pound Gun was a smoothbore muzzle-loading cannon, adopted by the United States Army in 1841. What makes this product unique is that it was produced in two different types of metal: iron or bronze. While bronze guns were more prone to overheating and warping, iron cannons were heavier and more brittle. These guns were first used in the Mexican-American War and continued their service through the Civil War, where they were used with deadly effect by both sides in the Western Theater.
