The Artillery

The most-effective killer of men on the Napoleonic battlefield, artillery usually decided the outcome of the major clashes. The idea was to get the big guns as close to the enemy as safely possible and then blast massive holes in their formed ranks. Solid shot was he most common missile fired by cannons, although cannister and exploding shells were also used. Shrapnel was used for the first time during the Napoleonic Wars.
