I can almost feel my head exploding with irritation when I come across a question without a verb.
A cannonball.
By shells, if you mean bullets and/or exploding warheads fired by small arms or artillery, then: Bullets (usually made of metal) put holes in people, causing internal damage to the body, that can often be fatal. Exploding warheads are dangerous for the things that are thrown out from the explosion of the warhead. Pieces of the warhead (made of metal) can tear, penetrate or rip apart a person's body. These "shell fragments" are propelled by the force of the explosion at high speeds in all directions (usually). Depending on the specific situation, exploding shells can cause other nearby ground clutter, rocks, pieces of man-made structures, trees, etc. to be thrown at high speed in all directions. These other flying objects are a danger to the human body, especially the head. Exploding shells and bombs can also injure or kill people with the air shock wave that damages the brain. This usually happens when people are very close to the explosion, even if protected from shell fragments & debris.
The five types of UXOs (Unexploded Ordnance) are bombs, shells, grenades, landmines, and missiles. These devices did not explode as intended and remain unstable, posing a risk of detonation.
No, you do not load a 12-gauge shotgun in the same place where the empty shells eject. The shells are typically loaded into the magazine tube or the chamber, while empty shells are ejected from the ejection port. Proper loading involves inserting new shells into the designated loading area, ensuring safe and effective operation of the shotgun.
I am pretty sure it was exploding gas shells. These artillery shells exploded releasing toxic gases onto the battle field. This is why there are many photos of German and French troops wearing gas masks in WW1.
Any kind of material in the water, whether it's sand, debris, whatever.
Your question is rather unclear. In skeet/ trap, there are a few competitions that do not permit ejected fired shotshells to hit the ground, and those guns are modified to hold 2 fired shells to be removed by hand. Please expand on your question- rifle, shotgun, pistol, etc, and we will try to answer it for you.
British trenches were miserable; people lived under constant threat of being hit by gunfire or exploding shells. Disease was also rampant, as soldiers had little protection from cold and rain.
Yes, they began as floating mines in 1861 by the Confederate Navy and evolved into landmines by 1862. A Brigadier General Rains of the Confederate army had troops to prepare artillery shells with trip wires. On May 4 1862 the first man , a horse rider, was killed by a pressure operated landmine. From 1862-63 Rains mines were in wide use by the Confederate army. As a side note in 1960 5 of his mines were found and were still "very dangerous."
