A shell is a payload-carrying projectile, which, as opposed to shot, contains an explosive or other filling, though modern usage includes large solid projectiles previously termed shot (AP, APCR, APCNR, APDS, APFSDS and proof shot). Solid shot may contain a pyrotechnic compound if a tracer or spotting charge is used. Shells are usually large rounds fired by artillery, armored fighting vehicles (including tanks), and warships. Shells usually have the shape of a cylinder topped by an ogive-shaped nose for good aerodynamic performance, possibly with a tapering base; but some specialised types are quite different.
[edit] About Shelling
Shelling is the removal of food such as peas and nuts from their outer inedible shell or casing. In the case of nuts, the outer shell is usually hard and must be cracked with a blunt instrument. The outer pod of peas can be torn or twisted open to remove the peas.
