Description:This is a really nice, clean half shell that shows off the 5-sided pentagon sections perfectly.
These were cast with a core that created lines of weakness allowing it to break into consistent sized pieces. Commonly called a polygonal cavity cannon ball and also known as a Mallett Polygonal Cavity shell, this was a very effective design. It caused the shell to break into 12 equal pieces.
