This is a simple smoothbore black-powder cannon capable of delivering shot out to a kilometre or so without any real degree of accuracy. Roundshot is the most commonly used ammunition, though canister shot is also popular. The black powder cannon typically requires a crew of six or so plus beasts of burden to move it around. It may use canister rounds

Grape shot would act more like a flamethrower. The tactic is to load a cannon with loosely packed musket shot, which expands out from the cannon in a forward arc, meant to deny charging troops. I would use the musket profile, but then give it a flamer-like distribution.
It would take a skilled crew to aim cannon properly. Be sure to reflect that experience in bonuses/penalties
The cannon would recoil and need to be pushed back into position after each shot. (if it's braced so the recoil doesn't move the cannon the frame may break from the recoil), roll a 1d100 75+ will break the Cannon if braced.
