STORY
The 105mm howitzer shell casing used during World War I is a part that helps to transport and fire cannon shrapnel. It is usually made of metal or steel and sits on the barrel of the cannon. There is gunpowder inside the bucket and it comes out of the barrel of the cannon by the firing mechanism. This projectile is used to effectively attack the enemy, providing a long-range and powerful artillery fire. In World War I, such shells were actively used by artillery units in the intense clashes of the war and were of great importance.
