General info

While it is a cannon from 1914, it may seem weird that it comes with HESH. In reality, it's a flawed HEAT charge that has a poor fuze that would bend & mold the soft metal without fuzing and directly detonate the explosive matter the moment it impacts the target, acting as HESH without the chemical effect.
