Ammunition? What is this, a garbage gun? Sound like good targets, though.

  It's traditional medieval cannon grapeshot - random bits of metal, hard rocks, etc. You fight with what you have which isn't always a stockpile of cannon balls.

    Sometimes that happened, but in general grapeshot is anti personnel so people used it even when they had cannon balls. When cannonballs hit ships splinters often provided area of effect carnage. However, on an open field a cannonball would only harm a few people and could simply miss.
