Ball shot was the prime form of small arms projectile used from the very late Medieval Period to middle of the 19th century. However, the majority of small arms shot originates from the mid 17th to the end of the 19th century. Dating small arms shot is extremely difficult as there was no standardisation of calibre or weight until th…
