The author is mistaken in believing that Shrapnel's projectiles were just explosive shells. The were, in fact, spherical case shot which were intended to explode a short distance before reaching the target, releasing a cloud of musket balls as a sort of long range canister. By mid-century this became the most commonly used artillery ammunition. |
