Would all steel shot from the period of HMS Warrior count as armour-piercing?
Short answerIt depends partly on the projectile's shape, including the distinction between conical and more rounded forms.
NotesProjectile shape affects whether steel shot is described as armour-piercing. Conical and more rounded forms need to be distinguished, with the shot displayed around Warrior suggested as a visible comparison. No penetration figure is supplied, and the answer leaves the distinction dependent on the individual projectile.
