artillery shell

An artillery shell is a type of projectile designed for use in heavy guns, such as howitzers and cannons. It is typically a large, cylindrical explosive device that is fired from a cannon and travels a significant distance before detonating. Artillery shells can be designed for various purposes, including explosive blasts, smoke, or chemical effects. They are used in military operations to target enemy positions, support ground troops, or create obstacles. The design and technology behind artillery shells have evolved to improve range, accuracy, and effectiveness in combat situations.
