Nice, altough it would been better if you had waited 5 seconds so I had managed to put new cartridge desing into the Carrera.

So, what for revision? Pistol, canister shot, something else?

Explosive Reseph
Taking cues from the recently developed CR .36 CCR, new explosive Reseph shot has a percussion cap placed at the front. Inside the shot, there is a chute leading from the cap to the hollow interior filled with gunpowder and lead balls.  When the shot hits the ground it causes the cap to be hit, detonating the charge in the front. Flame from this charge is then directed inside, detonating the gunpowder inside, causing the shell to burst open and sending lead balls everywhere. Two versions are produced, one which is based on a hollow Reseph shot to be used in rifled cannons and one based on a hollow round shot to be used in smoothbores.

One should not worry about bullet with their name on it. They should worry about explosive with "To whom it may concern". Below is basic concept explanation.

Asimov Artillery Shell

A modification to existing artillery ammunition invented by the Arstotzkan immigrant to Nafuna, Konstantin Asimov, to apply the conical principles shown to be highly effective in the ammunition of the Neithhotep series of sparkrifle to them for the purpose of increasing range and accuracy of existing cannons.  Variants exist where the shell is hollowed out filled with gunpowder, the variants differing between an impact fuse is installed when the weapon is drilled in from the tip and a timed fuse being installed at the base that works through being ignited by the powder to launch the shell.  The timed fuses have different lengths designated for different ranges, marked via an engravings, painted for best visibility, into the outside of the shell.

Asennu-class Shunefu Efficient Interiour Design

Our glorious engineers have experimented with different layout for our ships and have managed to increase the workspace available on each barque. By using half sized corridors and batteries of wood specially made as fixture for cannons, we now can use twice as many cannons as before.

There's really no reason to go for this, since we are thoroughly beating their asses in the naval theatre with the Asennu as-is. If need be, we can design a new, larger ship to house more cannons - which would be more powerful to boot - rather than revision the Asennu to carry more cannons than it's certified for. Honestly, the Asennu went from carrying a total of 144 pounds of rounds per volley to 288 lb with the admission of the Hor-Aha, and it has superior range and accuracy to anything the enemy currently has. Honestly, going for a smaller, cheap windjammer ship carrying 12 or so cannons would be grand as a sloop or a guff, so we can devastate them on the seas with both smaller more nimble, hard to destroy vessels and the Bargue that is the Asennu class Shunefu.

Might vote for this, though I'm a little worried because the description makes it sound as if only the tip is filled with a fragmentation warhead instead of the whole shot, AKA shell.

If only one could combine this with Zanzetkuken's proposal, I'd be hella pleased. Perhaps include a canister shot to make the best of the revision and we'll be solidly whooping their ass as far as artillery goes.

The change in phrasing honestly improves the revision greatly. Thank you.

We should not put our naval advantage at risk

[Taricus]

Explosive shells would make a mockery of any ships they could build, and make their infantry suffer hellishly. For them to even compete navally not only do they need bigger cannons but they also need a new ship designed for naval warfare beyond archery and boarding.

Indeed, I realized when I wrote the post, nonetheless we have to keep it in mind.

Hard: 5
Asimov Artillery Shell: The Asimov Artillery shell is a new kind of shot for our cannons that is designed to completely and utterly make the Kari's life, at sea and on land, living hell. Or at the very least, significantly shorter then what it would be otherwise. In simple terms, its a shell designed to explode and send shrapnel every which way and shred infantry much more then a normal cannonball or Reseph shot would, while retaining the accuracy of a Reseph shot. It has different variants from impact to timed, which can lead to it exploding just above the enemy and causing casualties below it, or a short time after the shot hits the ground, where enemies would have basically ran into their death. Regardless of when it goes off, it is highly effective at destruction of troops and fortifications.

Its now the Battle Phase, Long live our glorious Pharaoh and the brave soldiers that serve her and defend our lands!
