Naval ordnance question

[jlckansas]

I know there was solid shot, hot shot, chain shot, bar shot, and grapeshot. But I cannot remember what the technical term for when they loaded nails, scraps of metal and what not into a cannon to fire. Little help here please, have someone telling me there was not a term for it.

The term you're looking for is "Langrage"
