The shrapnel is the principal field artillery projectile. It is also provided for mountain and siege artillery and for use in the small caliber guns in seacoast fortifications in repelling land attacks. In the earlier models the case of the shrapnel was so con- structed as to break into a number of fragments on explosion of the bursting charge, with the idea of thus practically increasing the number of bullets carried. With the same end in view the spaces between the balls were filled with the ...parts of cast metal diaphragms that separated the layers of balls and broke up into additional fragments at the bursting of the projectile. The bursting charge was placed sometimes in the head and sometimes in the base of the projectile. It was found with these shrapnel that a very large percentage of the numerous fragments had not sufficient energy to inflict serious injury. The shrapnel is there- fore at present constructed of a stout case w r hich, except for the blowing out of the head, remains intact at the explosion of the bursting charge, and from which the balls are expelled in a forward direction and with increased velocity by the bursting charge in the base.
