Canister shot is a kind of anti-personnel artillery ammunition. Canister shot has been used since the advent of gunpowder-firing artillery in Western armies. However, canister shot saw particularly frequent use on land and at sea in the various wars of the 18th and 19th century. Canister is still used today in modern artillery.
Artillery was also classified as light, medium, and heavy. The U.S. Army defined light artillery as all artillery with a caliber of 105mm or less. Medium artillery was essentially limited to the 155mm howitzer, while heavy artillery included the 155mm gun and all larger artillery pieces.
