There is at least one book from way back in TES: Daggerfall that mentions the navy of Hammerfell (I believe Sentinel specifically) having cannons. So the Elder Scrolls universe likely does have cannons-- but they're probably rather uncommon and making them and/or reloading them would probably be a serious pain in the ass.

Just wanted to put in my two cents.) (I saw the book, but I don't see how it is possible that have cannons without gunpowder. And why do cannons never appear in any of the games? There is even a naval mission in Skyrim and we go aboard the Emperor's ship in another. Why would the Emperor's ship, the equivalent of Airforce 1, not have any cannons for defense if cannons existed? That book also never appears in any of the other games, so clearly Bethesda changed their minds and retconned cannons out of the universe.

That is my two cents.)
