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...
