what would a typical (if there is such an answer) ammunition assortment look like for a benchmark rifled battery look like that was in campaign at a major battle like Antietam or Gettysburg? Or were different batteries "specialized" for different missions (antipersonnel vs anti battery) and their ammunition reflected this?
Also, I had a question for solid shot. Was it ever used in an anti personnel functions? Or was it strictly used against batteries and fortifications? Would they use it for enfilade fire missions? If it doesn't explode, doesn't seem like you would kill too many soldiers unless in enfilade?
