Historical Background: Swedish field artillery was established during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) under the leadership of King Gustav II Adolf, a renowned military reformer. Following the Dutch model, he standardized gun calibers and introduced regimental artillery to support infantry units. These reforms proved highly effective, playing a key role in the victory at the Battle of Breitenfeld in 1631. Swedish cannons were known for their exceptional craftsmanship, particularly those made of iron and cast iron. Innovations by Swedish scientist Christopher Polhem included advanced aiming devices and elevation screws for vertical targeting.
