| The process used to construct this example is as follows: After the
casting was removed from the mold, the fuze and side-loader holes were finished and
threaded, a dowel was inserted into the fuze hole to the opposite side, and the iron balls
were inserted through the side-loader hole, followed by hot matrix. After the matrix
cooled the dowel was removed, leaving a space for the bursting charge. Compared to
canister, case-shot projectiles had a greater effective range when used as an
anti-personnel weapon. |
