what kind of shell??

RE: what kind of shell??
And, as far as anti-personnel stuff...I got to sit with some fellow Infantry School chums in a reinforced bunker back around mid-80s, Ft. Benning, Georgia, US. We had thick plexi-glass viewing windows, while getting pummeled with something like 105 and 155mm arty shells for several minutes. A training exercise.

Dramatic stuff!

I picked up some souveniers outside our bunker when it was over. Small and large shards of sharp, fused metal pieces that had flown around.

My largest piece of ragged shrapnel measures 7 inches in length. Many edges are sharp enough to easily cut a piece of raw beef by hand. Nothing you want coming at you out in the open!! :eek1:
