{wiki=Chain_shot}
Chain shot is a type of ammunition used historically in naval warfare. It consists of two cannonballs connected by a chain. This design allows the projectiles to have a greater destructive impact when fired at enemy ships, as the connected chain can cause significant damage to sails, rigging, and other structures, potentially incapacitating or sinking an enemy vessel.
