Korean and British cannon compared

How did Korean cannon compare with British cannon of the period?

British cannon were probably faster-firing, while Korean cannon may have been more accurate, but the evidence does not permit a direct comparison.

Separate accounts and different carriage arrangements have to substitute for a side-by-side test. The tentative comparison gives British guns the higher rate of fire and Korean guns greater accuracy. This is a limited performance comparison and does not establish that one artillery tradition was universally superior. The uncertainty matters because the evidence cannot support a clean ranking.
