Abstract
The article discusses the issues of firearm used in Late Feudal Georgia.
Special attention is payed to the letters of king Erekle II to prince Muraviov and
general Totleben, where the interesting accounts are preserved about this issue.
From these accounts, it is clarified that by 1770, the “jabakhana” or the arsenal
of Kartl-Kakheti Kingdom, alongside with the other armaments, contained
numerous grenades similar to the Turkish fabric, which were made by the
Georgian craftsmen. The manual for the preparation of grenades is included in
Artillery Book, which was used by the Georgian artillerists for casting the
cannons. This book is preserved in the National Center of Manuscripts (Tbilisi,
Georgia). This circumstance testifies the fact that those kind of weapons were
spread in Georgian military practice in the 18th century
