Exploding Artillery Shell for Breech-Loaders 1883

Casing and reshaping the projectile, improved cannon performance, adding explosive shells, improved killing potential. New improvements like this made war much more costly in terms of lives but did nothing to deter the other side from fighting. A fuse would be inset into the top and upon impact, the shell would exploded with deadly force.
