Topcu Ocaği #13537113
Description
𝐓𝐨𝐩ç𝐮 𝐎𝐜𝐚ğı 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘱𝘴 The Topçu Ocağı was responsible for the use of artillery pieces. Archival evidence supports the notion that the Ottoman artillery was famous for the size of its cannon, and their number; from the highly mobile antipersonnel Abus gun to the massive Great Turkish Bombard. These bombards were a product of specialized study in the production of 'giant guns' known literally as castle smashers 'kale-kob'. Although such weapons being primarily used in sieges; where they were cast on site due to the logistical difficulties attributed to transport them there, they were used as late as 1809 when massive stone-firing guns were used with some effect against British ships during the Dardanelles Operation, throwing 1000-pound marble with a range of 1 mile.
