History:
A full size 3 PDR is 36" long used in field for easy and fast
fireing. They were put on any type of carriage available. There were
smaller alibers used in field and fort warfares.
A type of field carriage called a galloper.
this was used for the lightest of the field guns, the 1 1/2 and sometimes
the 3-pounders. It consisted of a cart with two shafts so that a single
horse could be hitched directly to it, and offering side boxes and cheeks
for the actual mounting of the piece. Guns on galloper carriages were
normally attached directly to infantry units. Colloquially the galloper
carriage was sometimes called a grasshopper carriage to distinguish it
from a light gun with a limber, which was called a butterfly. These were
slang terms, however, and sometimes they were used very loosely.
