Grapeshot, 1861 -65

A hardening ammunition on land and at sea was the grapeshot. It was made of a wooden base, called a sabot, a wooden rod, and a canvas bag filled with iron balls fixed around these wooden parts.

Twine was tied around the outside to help the projectile keep its shape. It was coated with red oxide paint to prevent the shot from rusting. The finished product loosely resembled a bunch of grapes covered by a quilt, giving the projectile its name.

When fired from a cannon, the bag and wooden parts would be blown apart and exit the cannon with the iron balls in a cone of destruction much like the blast of an oversized shotgun.

Day 3 of Deicide: The paradox of monsters.

Got too creative. One of my weapons cast reflections that staggered my vision, and the amalgamation of my many paths whelmed me for a moment, enough to create it's own homunculus. The more gods I kill the more monsters I create, and they become gods and martyrs. Even recording my efforts here I recognise the creators of my own language were gods and monsters in their own wake. Creation and destruction. The Tempest and the Stone. BluTack and Marbles. And I am a beholder disguised as an exile.

Stool of Grapeshot, 1800-24

This small collection of musket balls, "quilted" or wrapped in burlap and twine netting with wooden ends, was a deadly package. It could be used at short range and was designed to incapacitate as many of an enemy ship's crew as possible. Loaded into a small rail-mounted gun, the quilted or sewn cloth disintegrated when fired, scattering the shotgun pellets much like a modern shotgun. And served to decimate the opponent's crew.
