Początki i rozwój technologiczny artylerii ogniowej i jej wykorzystanie w średniowiecznych działaniach wojennych
This article attempts to trace the development of artillery since the appearance of black powder in Europe. Gradually, the process of gunpowder production was improved by purification of its ingredients and selecting the right proportions. Cannons became the next stage in the evolution of the former throwing machines. In order to produce them, suitable metal alloys were discovered, and the art of gunfounding was perfected. The use of iron and lead projectiles instead of stone projectiles made it possible to reduce their size and enhance their striking power. Initially not very effective, the new weapons became increasingly significant in battle outcomes, playing a key role in events such as the capture of Constantinople or the end of the Hundred Years’ War.
