From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- page should include medieval grapeshot, which was used in catapults. Objects used could be metal, wood, garbage, a dead cat, and the contents of chamber pots, when a castle was under siege they would use anything they could spare in their artillery.
- metal slugs roughly the size of grapes
- I think this isn't correct. Each slug of grapeshot for swivel guns is bigger than a grape. --Ypacaraí 05:56, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

- Grapes can get very big - but theres no reason why some guns shouldn't have larger shot and it still be called grapeshot. GraemeLeggett 08:08, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
