{wiki=Canister_shot}
Canister shot is a type of ammunition used in cannons and artillery that consists of a container filled with small projectiles, such as iron balls or metal shards. When fired, the canister breaks open and disperses its load over a wide area, functioning much like a giant shotgun blast. This makes it particularly effective against clusters of enemy troops, unarmored vehicles, or for close-range engagement.
