THE MOUNTAIN GUN IN WARGAMES
‘Particularly important for colonial wargames is the 2.5-inch screw-gun,
introduced in 1876; this fired a 7 lb common shell, shrapnel shell or case shot.
A high proportion of rounds fired were shrapnel since this type of fire was greatly
feared by the tribesmen and was a useful form of support for an infantry
picquet or rearguard caught on the wrong foot be a charge of tribesmen.
Mountain guns were very effective with plunging fire downhill but had a limited
effect firing uphill on sangars or other fortified positions. The burst circle
for a mountain gun firing common shell or shrapnel was about 20-30 yards dia. The frontage of a six gun mountain battery was 98 yards at full intervals, 50 yards at half intervals and 25 yards at close intervals.’
