What is the difference between a shell and a canister?
Shell was (and is) a hollow artillery shell with a bursting charge inside it. During the Civil War era, the bursting charge was gunpowder. Due to unreliable fuzes, and relatively small bursting charges, shell was nowhere near as deadly as a modern artillery shell. Canister was, however, extremely deadly. It consisted of a tin can filled with lead slugs. When filed from a cannon, it acted like a giant sawed-off shotgun, and sprayed lead balls over an arc in front of the cannon. The effective range was 200 yards, but it could be lethal to up to 400 yards.
