Guns, Swords, and Cannons, oh my!

Its no secret that pirates used all sorts of weaponry, especially Blackbeard the pirate. Blackbeard was known for owning two ships, Queen Anne's Revenge, and Adventure. During a not totally recent, but recent enough, finding of what is to be believed as Blackbeard's QAR, they also unearthed a multitude of ancient pirate weaponry. This included Cannons which were used to shoot at other ships in the water, personal fire arms of the crew along with ammunition, and a multitude of scraped parts from different types of weaponry. Pretty cool, right? I personally find firearms and weapons of destruction rather interesting and below I'm going to insert a couple pictures from what was found of the wreckage as well as what people believe what the QAR looked like...
