The Case Shot: Case shot is also called "Shrapnel" after it's inventor Henry Shrapnel, an English artillery officer. It's iron walls were thinner than common shells and the projectile was filled with small lead or iron balls set in a matrix of sulphur or asphalt. The small bursting powder charge was set off by a fuse timed to explode and scatter teh balls and fragments among massed troops at a very high rate of velocity. ------ ----------- | ![]() |
