很好奇，桑塔玛利亚号的火炮到底是怎么用的？

浅杯不醉

船尾平台固定的那门炮，并不是用来射击指向方向的，对于影响船体稳性的高载荷来说，位于船舯线附近，对稳性影响较小。

关于此船有无大炮的问题,建议参考哥伦布的航海日记.

维基百科认为舰炮始于1571年，
The cannon shot (c. 1680), painted by Willem van de Velde the YoungerNaval artillery in the Age of Sail encompasses the period of roughly 1571-1863: when large, sail-powered wooden naval warships dominated the high seas, mounting a bewildering variety of different types and sizes of cannon as their main armament. By modern standards, these cannon were extremely inefficient, difficult to load, and short ranged. These characteristics, along with the handling and seamanship of the ships that mounted them, defined the environment in which the Naval tactics in the Age of Sail developed.

欧洲船舶界认为解决后座小车后，才算舰炮真正上舰，比这还晚。哥伦布1492年，2月准备出海船只。
THE VOYAGE
T he ships of Columbus's small ft eet sailed from the port of Palos, Huelva,
southern Spain, on 2 August 1492, following the ebb tide along the river
Odiel to the Saltes sand bar, They set sail for the ocean passage at 0800hrs
the following day, at a speed of 4 knots, heading for the Canary Islands.
T he passage to the Canaries took six days, in the course of which the Pinta
required a jury repair to her rudder. The nearest port to Spain was Lanzarote,
which at the time belonged to the Spanish Crown, while the rest of
the Islands were still in the possession of the Guanche people.

那个词条是说naval artillery of age of sail，1571-1863年是age of sail的时代，1571年发生了勒班托之战，最后一场排桨舰的大海战，所以作为纯风帆动力军舰统治海洋的开始。当然不是说这日期以前不存在舰炮，15、16世纪的舰炮无论文献还是存世都很多。
关于最早的舰炮何时出现尚有争议，但围绕在14世纪的那些样本是不是真的在海上使用还是只是运输，或者文献中的火器能不能算炮上，一般认为是15世纪早中。到哥伦布时代舰炮虽然还比较原始，但已经初具规模了。这方面您可参考康威船史the Sailing ship 1000-1650 P143the earliest naval guns一节 或者同一作者的Galleons and Galleys the weapons of war at sea 1300-1650一节。最好是这领域的老作品Guns, Sails, and Empires: Technological Innovation and the Early Phases of European Expansion, 1400- 1700，脚注很多 。

就是说，可能船上只装配了回旋炮咯？

哥伦布航行日记明确提到携带了lombard，这是一种中型舰炮，比回旋炮大得多。
