Absolute nonsense about "shot tower" being used to make musket balls, let alone cannon balls[edit]

A "shot tower" is capable --- at best --- of making small lead shot for use in shot guns. An 80m tower can produce shot of no more than 3.8mm diameter, suitable for hunting small game and birds. The Fort Hayes/Columbus Arsenal "shot tower" is nowhere near this tall, and there is absolutely no evidence that it was ever used as a shot tower.

Nor is a shot tower capable of producing cast iron balls, let alone "cannonballs."

Lead spherical "musket balls" were obsolete by 1864 when the alleged "shot tower" was built. The Union Army had no use for them, having adopted rifled weapons using non-spherical projectiles long before 1864. Bullets for Union rifles were cast, not made in shot towers.

Likewise, round "cannonballs" --- either solid or case shot --- were cast. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.178.166.3 (talk) 18:36, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
