	Shrapnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shrapnel shell for 18-pdr QF In 1784 Lieutenant Shrapnel began the course to develop an anti-personnel weapon.
		The dropping of the shrapnel shell from use was due to the advent of trench warfare, the shrapnel was unable to cut the barbed wire entanglements in no man's land, crater the ground, or to defeat troops under cover, all of which were required as a precursor to an attack.
		On october 16th, 1944 a shrapnel shell was used in a bombing on Kerkrade, The Netherlands.

		Shrapnel, in the strict sense, is shot deliberately included in a landmine or shell intended to be scattered by the explosion.
		Before Shrapnel's invention was adopted, artillery attacked infantry or cavalry with "canister" or "case," a tin container filled with iron balls.
		During World War I, shrapnel was widely used by all sides to cut the barbed wire entanglements in no man's land as a precursor to an attack.

	First World War.com - Encyclopedia - Shrapnel
		Shrapnel consisted of a hollow shell which was packed internally with (typically) small steel balls or lead, together with an amount of gunpowder, and was the most common form of artillery deployed in 1914.
		Although shrapnel was used to cut down enemy barbed wire it was generally regarded as unsatisfactory for the task.
		The wide deployment of shrapnel as a weapon during the First World War mandated that the light cloth caps as worn by infantrymen in 1914 be replaced by steel helmets which afforded at least some protection against the rain of steel or lead.

	Shrapnel vs Shell Fragments
		But shrapnel was abandoned primarily because it was difficult to get the height of burst adjusted properly even under conditions of good visibility, and impossible to do this in darkness or bad weather.
		The intended destructive effect of the shrapnel projectile against men and animals came from the shrapnel balls.
		Whereas a shrapnel round was intended to kill or injure people and animals, high explosive rounds were originally designed to damage or destroy inanimate objects such as buildings and field guns.

		Shrapnel was promoted to be colonel in the army on 4 June 1813 and regimental colonel on 20 Dec. 1814.

		Being a Diaclone recolour, Shrapnel has a cockpit, which is a transparent yellow hatch on his thorax, on top of which sits a Decepticon logo - his rubsign lives on his right wing cover.
		I should point out that Shrapnel doesn't have true insect legs, the rear set are actually purple posts hanging off the underside of his purple robot arms, which sit on the sides of the insect, and are rather obvious.
		Shrapnel's a decent little mecha insect, and while his insect mode isn't very realistic, his robot mode's not bad and the colours work, so if you're a G1 fan he's worth grabbing.

	The Unsettling Legacy of General Shrapnel
		Shrapnel's unremarkable, slightly plump face in its white wig gave no outward sign of the passion that possessed him and that drives so much of modern civilization -- I mean, the passion for blowing stuff up.
		Shrapnel are the nails and pieces of shaved metal in the bomb of a suicide bomber, and the deadly cube-shaped metal fragments a tenth of an inch on a side, which advanced metallurgy has designed modern bomb casings to shatter into.
		With "shrapnel," it found a miracle of onomatopoeia: the incoming whistle of the "sh-," the explosion of the "rap-," the death knell of the "-nel." In the mouth, the word is a minidramatization of what it describes.

	Battlefront.com Discussion Forums: Differences between Shrapnel & Canister
		The difference between canister and shrapnel shell was that obviously shrapnel’s steel balls would not spread out quickly with range from the muzzle as the shrapnel balls are encased within a shell.
		Shrapnel could be lobed out to 3000meters, and when the shell casing exploded you have a very high density of deadly steel balls attacking your targeti.e.
		The idea with shrapnel was to fire it in such a way that it fuzed on the last stretch of the downward leg of its arc, firing a blast of small projectiles in an expanding cone pattern defined by the trajectory and spin axis of the shrapnel shell at the moment of detonation.
