Search Results - Shell (projectile)

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A shell is a payload-carrying projectile, which, as opposed to shot, contains an explosive or other filling, though modern usage includes large solid projectiles previously termed shot (AP, APCR, APCNR, APDS, APFSDS and Proof shot). Solid shot may contain a pyrotechnic compound if a tracer or spotting charge is used.

Shells are usually large rounds fired by artillery, armored fighting vehicles (including tanks), and warships.

Shells usually have the shape of a cylinder topped by an ogive-shaped nose for good aerodynamic performance, possibly with a tapering base; but some specialised types are quite different.

Written evidence for the first explosive shells appears in the early Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) Chinese military manual Huolongjing, compiled by Jiao Yu (fl. 14th to early 15th century) and Liu Ji (1311–1375) sometime before the latter's death, a preface added by Jiao in 1412.[1] As described in their book, these hollow, gunpowder-packed shells were made of cast iron.[1]

A shell casing refers to the part of the cartridge that is scattered at the crime scene after the gun powder ignites and the projectile is gone. The shell casing, gun powder, primer, and bullet are collectively known as a cartridge. Shell casings many times are the only piece of evidence that the forensic firearms examiner has available to work with. It is fortunate that the shell casings contain distinctive markings that are the focus of the forensic examiner's investigation. ... (read more)

2. Ballistics in Forensics - Searching for Hits in Federal Databases
January 13, 2008

Even though there is only one bullet or shell casing and no suspect bullet or firearm to compare them against, the forensic firearms examiner many times can find out the type and manufacturer of the firearm that fired the projectile. With advances in technology and firearms databases, the forensic scientist can compare ballistic impressions on the crime-scene bullet with the impressions on bullets from firearms used in other crimes. The two major databases of this type are as follows: Integrated Bullet Identification System (IBIS): The IBIS database is run by the Bureau of Alcohol, To... (read more)
