What marktwain said, plus this from the article:

“The ship was carrying over 50 small caliber guns that fired lead shot with an iron core, 11 of which have been recovered from the seafloor and recreated using 3D modeling. These weapons were intended for anti-personnel use at close range, and designed to injure or kill the crews of enemy ships before boarding to capture the vessel.”

Ok, I admit that now its my turn to be flogged.
