[edit] Bouncing cannonballs

Given the limited adjustments and control of the variables afforded a 19th century gunner, I doubt that deliberately bouncing cannonballs was a viable technique. It is more likel;y that it was observed that cannonballs did bounce occasionally when they hit the water at the right angle. Dabbler 13:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Not sure how accurate it is, but in the film "The Dam Busters", the Barnes Wallis mentions that Nelson commented on the bouncing of cannon ball off the sea during the Battle of the Nile as tactic that increased range and destructive power. KingStrato 19:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
