artillery round

An artillery round is a single explosive projectile fired from large military guns called howitzers or cannons. It typically consists of a metal shell filled with explosives, a fuse to trigger detonation, and sometimes additional features like armor-piercing or specialized payloads. When fired, the round travels through the air to strike a target at long distances, causing destruction through its explosive force. Artillery rounds are used to support ground troops, destroy enemy equipment, or create strategic effects on the battlefield, and they come in various sizes and types tailored to specific missions.
