 While the main weapon of the revolutionaries was the lance made by village craftsmen, their artillery was limited to the cherry-wood cannon invented by Șuluțiu, and used against the Hungarian revolutionaries.With Șuluțiu acting as intermediary, the Austrian commander of the citadel at Alba Iulia sent munitions to the inhabitants of the mountains, in order to bolster their resistance against the pressure of the revolutionary Hungarian armies.Șuluțiu also distinguished himself after the end of the revolution, by developing Romanian enterprises in Transylvania.
