Historically, the weapons used for shells were most often short-barrelled mortars or howitzers.
The skill of the gunner is in judging the trajectory of the shot and the length of fuse required to explode the shell over or amongst the enemy. A cast iron sphere contains gunpowder, a lit fuse burns down a set rate until the blasting charge is reached. Explosive shells, however, are cunningly contrived to explode after a set time, causing damage and injury to everything within the blast. They must hit the target to have an effect. Hollow projectiles, filled with gunpowder, which, by use of a timed fuse, explode near enemies.Ĭannonballs are usually exactly that: solid lumps of iron (or stone, for some early weapons) that do damage on impact.
