Round shot refers to a type of projectile that was historically used in cannons and artillery during the 18th and early 19th centuries. It is a solid, spherical projectile made of iron or other metal, designed to be fired from smoothbore cannons. Unlike explosive shells or canister shots, round shot does not contain an explosive charge; instead, it relies on its mass and velocity to cause damage upon impact.
