Bar Shot and Sliding Shot
Some interesting types of artillery shot that have not been included in the game are bar shot and sliding shot. In many ways similar to the chain shot seen used in naval battles (and most likely the reason they were left out). It would be interesting to perhaps include this in a future mod.
Bar shot consisted of two half cannon balls connected by a bar. They were nicknamed "angels" for their appearance in fight.
Sliding shot was similar to bar shot, but slid open in flight to create a longer projectile.
