artillery shells
Heavy weapon rounds
Artillery shells are large-caliber projectiles fired from cannons, howitzers, and other heavy guns.
They typically contain explosives, though some carry smoke, illumination flares, or chemical agents.
The term covers everything from small mortar rounds to massive naval shells.
