What is a Shell from World War 1?

A shell from World War I refers to an explosive projectile fired by artillery, such as cannons and howitzers. These shells were designed to explode upon impact or in the air, causing significant damage to enemy troops, fortifications, and equipment. The use of shells marked a shift in warfare, introducing more destructive capabilities and contributing to the high casualties of the war. Artillery played a pivotal role in the trench warfare that characterized the conflict.


How many hits does an eighty eight need to take out a bomber?

Depends on where and how it hits. Flak shells, the type used for antiaircraft fire, were commonly fused to explode at a given altitude, not on impact. The idea was to have the shell explode near the aircraft, then the shrapnel from the shell would spread out in all directions. If close enough to an airplane this would damage it, perhaps enough to bring it down. A direct hit could blow the wing off a plane. On the other hand, there are instances on record where the gunners set the fuses for the wrong altitude, causing flak shells to shoot right through an airplane without exploding. In such a case the airplane might well make it home safely, provided nothing else went wrong.

What provides the activation energy that causes a fireworks shell to explode?

The activation energy for a fireworks shell to explode comes from the heat generated by the burning fuse. When the fuse ignites, it produces enough heat to trigger a chemical reaction inside the shell, leading to the explosion and release of colored sparks and effects.


Will a shotgun shell explode from being near a fire?

It may. If the primer in the shell overheats, it will explode. That is what it is designed to do. This will cause the main charge of powder to explode. Don't even think about experimenting with this one. ====================================================== Cartridge shells are not designed to explode. When a cartridge is in a chamber of a rifle, and the primer is struck, it ignites the powder. The powder burns rapidly, but does not explode. Black powder has the capability to explode, smokeless powders do not. When a cartridge is in a fire, the powded burns rapidly. Because the cartridge is not held in a chamber, the force of the burning gasses is not contained, and will not project the projectile. The gasses dissipate. Still, not a good idea to do. limpetmine
