During the revolutionary wars of France (1792-1799), the main weapons of the French artillery were the guns introduced by Gribeauval after 1776 and by his talented student - Jean Jeacques du Teil. The artillery park introduced to the French army by these two experts was characterized by a clear drive towards standardization and a reduction in the weight of the guns. At the same time, it introduced four basic types of guns: 4-, 8- and 12-pounder cannons, as well as 6-inch howitzers. This division of French field artillery cannons lasted unshakable until 1803, when Napoleon appointed a special commission chaired by the future Marshal Marmont, to develop guidelines for changes to the artillery. Its main postulate was the introduction into service of 6-blade cannons, constituting an intermediate link between 4- and 8-pounds, and which were used on an increasing scale by the Austrian and Prussian troops. However, the great needs of the ever-growing Grand Army meant that until the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the French army used the guns of the Gribeauval system, as well as the new 6-pounds. It is worth noting that when the campaign in Russia began in 1812, Napoleon led 260 6-pounder cannons with him - it is assumed that all of them, or a lion's share of them, were lost during the retreat from Moscow
