The basic shot. Infinite ammo.
[edit] Chain Shot
Two iron balls connected by a chain. Useful for tearing down sails and masts.
- Cost

[edit] Grape Shot
A canister of small metal balls that fires in a huge spread. It is effective against crewmen and sea monsters(Kraken, etc.)
This weapon is very useful for boarding high-level flagships. After using grapple hooks to bring the flagship in, while the clock is ticking down for the captain to board, set your ammo to "3" (grape shot) and use it to kill any enemies who appear on the flagship deck. Typically, enemies show up one at a time. To start with, somebody will be at the ship's wheel; after that a new one appears roughly one minute after the previous one was killed. You can also kill enemy crew with round shot (keyboard "1"), but those require much more careful aiming.
Enemy crew seem to appear in random order, so if you are lucky you can kill off some of the toughest ones before ever boarding. You get rep points and sometimes loot for killing enemy crew with cannon and grape shot. But keep an eye on the boarding clock--don't let it go down lower than 30 seconds.
Grape shot is also useful for those annoying times when some crew members jump to board and fight while others get left behind. Any left-behind pirates can help their crewmates by firing grapeshot into the thick of the fight. You cannot hurt your fellow pirates, but you can kill or weaken the enemy trying to kill them. If left-behind crewmates are "paralyzed" unable to move (this sometimes happens), you can free your pirate by drawing your weapon ("Control" key). Then use the shift key to get back on cannon and fire grape shot at the battle.
