| The common shell interior construction has a bursting charge cavity that does not contain case-shot material. This is an example of the most common Federal 3-inch Schenkl projectile manufactured. According to Abbot's Siege Artillery in the Campaigns Against Richmond, the Schenkl brass percussion fuze was 82% effective. Over 125,000 3-inch Schenkl shells were purchased by the Federal Ordnance Department. Go here for a complete specimen. |
