I've taken inspiration from some of the quotes relating to pirate weapons. Such as:
,,they again descride us, came up with me, and discharged two broadsides (double, round and partridge) with two full vollies of musketoons, blunderbusses, muskets and pistols" -Richard Hawkins on the assault by Francis Spriggs crew, 1724.
,,They have arms to fire five rounds before they load again" - Boston News-Letter warning of Blackbeard's ships in the area, 1717.
