The Dahlgren guns were considered an improvement of the Paixhans, which could only fire shells (explosive projectiles) where the Dahlgren could fire shell, solid shot, and canister (lead ball anti-personnel) The Dahlgren guns had a characteristic shape, and SOME were rifled and SOME were larger than the Paixhans guns. Wikipedia has a good brief article on the Dahlgren guns, as well as Paixhans.
