	Shell (projectile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The calibre of a shell is its diameter.
		Shells of 105, 120, and 155 mm diameter are common for NATO forces' artillery and tank guns.
		Artillery shells of 122 and 152 mm, and tank gun ammunition of 100, 115, or 125 mm calibre remain in use in Eastern Europe and China.

	Artillery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Artillery could no longer be deployed in the battle line, the large crews and stocks of ammunition were vulnerable to rifle fire, but had to either become smaller, lighter, more mobile and stay with the troops or get much further away.
		Modern artillery is distinguished by its large caliber, firing an explosive shell or rocket, and being of such a size and weight as to require a specialized mount for firing and transport.
		The crowning achievement of naval artillery was the battleship, bristling with guns of up to 18 inches (45 cm), but the advent of air-power and missiles have rendered this type of artillery largely obsolete.

		"Artillery" is a general term covering several varieties of large- calibre weapons ; currently these fire an explosive shell or rocket and are of such a size and weight as to require a specialized mount for firing and transport.
		The types of tube artillery are generally distinguished by their ballistic trajectory.Cannons (such as infantry support guns or the guns on anaval ship) are typically low-angle weapons designed for a direct-fire role.
		Because artillery is an indirect fire weapon, the forward observer must take up a position where he canobserve the enemy using tools such as binoculars and laser range finders anddesignators and call back fire missions on his radio.

	Nuclear artillery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A nuclear artillery shell is a limited-yield nuclear weapon delivered by cannon artillery.
		Fired as part of Operation Upshot-Knothole and codenamed Shot GRABLE, a 280 mm (11 inch) shell with a gun-type fission warhead was fired 10,000 m (6.2 miles) and detonated 160 m (525 feet) above the ground with an estimated yield of 15 kilotons.
		The shell was 1384 mm (4.5 feet) long and weighed 365 kg (805 lb); it was fired from a specially built artillery piece, nicknamed "Atomic Annie", by the Artillery Test Unit of Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

	Range of an Artillery Shell
		This projectile is called a shell and is fired in a high arcing trajectory that allows the shell to travel past obstacles to its target over a certain amount of distance or range.
		As a result, the range of an artillery shell depends on the weapon in use and the time period of the artillery, for with time comes advancements in technology and weaponry.
		Overall, as a result of these great advances in increasing the ranges of artillery shells overtime, arm troops are now able to stay farther away from the enemy and still manage to cause great and devastating damages to enemy turfs.

	The American Thinker
		“Small-caliber artillery comes in a casing with the propellant and shell in the same package – like a very large rifle bullet –; but larger artillery has the shell (seen in the photo) packed separately from the propellant charge (which is generally in silk bags or other combustible containers).
		Artillery shells are robust, mostly cast steel (the explosive weight is really rather small considering the overall weight of the shell), again for obvious reasons.
		In addition, artillery shells have bands that grab onto the rifling of the cannon barrel – this is obvious (the lower segmented brass-over-white-paint band) on the shell in this photo.

	Iraq sarin shell is not part of a secret cache \| csmonitor.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		Determining whether the discovery of the sarin artillery shell represents such an archaeological discovery, or is part of Saddam Hussein's alleged stockpile of WMD, rests with a full forensic exam of the shell.
		The key to whether the sarin artillery round came from an arms cache or was a derelict dud rests in the physical characteristics of the shell.
		The thrust of the shell being fired was designed to cause the liquid in the forward cannister to press back and break the rupture disk, whereupon the rotation of the shell as it headed downrange would mix the two precursors together, creating sarin.

		A shell is a projectile, which, as opposed to a bullet, is not solid but contains an explosive or other filling, though modern usage includes large projectiles without a filling which are properly termed shot.
		The APCR projectile is a core of a high-density hard material such as tungsten carbide surrounded by a full bore shell of a lighter material (e.g.
		Although the proof shot resembles a functioning shell (of whatever sort) behind so that it behaves as a real shell in the barrel, they are not aerodymanic since its job is over once it has left the muzzle of the gun.

	Shell Art
		It is not to say that front-line soldiers did not make personal souvenirs or those for sale, but the large, twisted, crimped and elaborately decorated shell casings were beyond their capability.
		One example of true soldier shell art in the museum collection is a British 18 pounder shrapnel artillery projectile [LMM 87.105] which was actually fired by the British. It failed to explode and was recovered by German troops and an unnamed German soldier-artist painted it as a souvenir.
		An incised 75mm shell with battle scenes [LMM 2000.39.52] was presented to Lt. Gerald Belknap by a soldier in his African-American 804th Pioneer Infantry company while the unit was on post-war reclamation duties.

	t r u t h o u t - Army Dumped WMD Offshore in US
		Dumped there in roughly 2,000 feet of water were at least 77,000 mustard-filled mortar shells, 5,000 white phosphorous munitions, 1,500 one-ton canisters of Lewisite and 800 55-gallon barrels of military radioactive waste.
		He said that leads the Army to presume the pressure on the weapons as they sank to the bottom crushed the shells and squirted their deadly contents onto the seabed, where they long ago broke down into their non-lethal chemical components.
		Shells filled with chemical weapons are more likely to slowly leak over time than to be crushed while sinking, said Peter Brewer, a marine scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California.

		By the way, the "base bleed" he writes of uses a low explosive charge at the base of the shell to burn off slowly, which extends the range of flight of the artillery shell.
		First, the shell was announced by BG Kimmitt, the CPA military spokesman, and he was reporting an announcement by the Iraq Survey Group (ISG).
		In short, this type of artillery shell is one that the Iraqis never declared, and the UN inspection teams on the ground never discovered.

		Finding a few liters of sarin in a shell is an indication that there's more where that came from, especially when you consider the possibility that the people who set that bomb may not have been aware it contained sarin.
		If artillery did not know which warhead was in their cannon, they would not know how to use the weapon effectively.

		Those characters look Arabic or something- perhaps the shell was made for export and then not sent when the war broke out (I've seen WWII 7.5cm shells that had been manufactured for export to Afganistan- German type w/ Arabic markings).
		The shell has been fired too- you can tell by the rifling grooves in the driving band- so it's probably a training round.
