Grapeshot, английский
- Small balls of lead fired from a cannon, analogous to shotgun shot but on a larger scale. similar to canister shot but with larger individual shot. used to injure personnel and damage rigging more than to cause structural damage.
- A missile from guns intermediate between case-shot and solid shot, having much of the destructive spread of the former with somewhat of the range and penetrative force of the latter. a round of grapeshot consists of three tiers of cast-iron balls arranged, generally three in a tier, between four parallel iron discs connected together by a central wrought-iron pin. for carronades, the grape, not being liable to such a violent dispersive shock, they are simply packed in canisters with wooden bottoms.
Foulies, английский
Slang for oilskins, the foul-weather clothing worn by sailors. see also oilskins.
