Some, but not all, ... and exploding shells of that day often did not explode (or exploded too soon). Fused shells were not reliable. For one thing, there was a good chance the fuse would just get pulled out if the shell hadn't exploded by the time it hit the ground. But you can see that most of what's in the photos is solid shot. Any exploding shells that had actually exploded wouldn't look like solid shot, although the ones that didn't might. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
