Military / Defense / innovazioni nelle difese di Gibiterra

English term or phrase: single 12.5-inch Rifled Muzzle-Loading gun

Sempre una guida turistica di Gibilterra. Sta parlando di evoluzioni tecniche introdotte alle difese costiere nel Ottocento.

Many fortifications and armaments remain dating to this time, including retired batteries along the west face of the Rock, the ultimate Muzzle-loading cannon, the 100-ton gun, and the battery you are standing on now. Originally named after Sir George Harding, who was Chief Engineer in 1844, by 1878 it had been modified to take a single 12.5-inch Rifled Muzzle-Loading gun on a traversing carriage.

Qualche cultore/cultrice della materia mi potrebbe aiutare, sopratutto con 'Rifled'? Grazie.

Explanation:
rifled significa che è a fucile. le armi ad avancarica potevano essere sia a pistola che a fucile.
single mi risulta essere single shot ovvero a colpo singolo.

E l’operazione riuscì mettendo in fuga Menschikov che si rinchiudeva a Sebastopoli nel caos più totale. Un grosso handicap lavorava contro i Russi. Non avevano artiglierie a canna rigata, avevano i fucili ad avancarica
