It was grape shot and canister that both demoralized and devastated Gen. Pickett's division at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863 during Pickett's Charge. As his division closed within about 300 yards the order to ram double canister was given to the Union gun crews and they rammed and fired 2 canister shell's per gun one atop of the other into the approaching lines of Confederate Infantry. Simply Horrible almost 155 years later.
