артиллерия
как называется осколочная граната для артиллерии.
я почитал FM военных лет и у американцев небыло осколочных гранат. осколки добывались засчет предохранителя (Fuse). в фугасных снарядах (High Explosive).
в советском документе упоминается три типа снаряда: шрапнель, фугасный и осколочный. помогите разобратся что имелось в виду под осколочным снарядом И его английский переводс.
