Yes, good stuff- I remember reading about wooden shrapnel from cannon shots killing and maiming crewmen in droves. That ball doesn't have to hit you, one of the 3,000 splinters it launched at the speed of sound in every direction from where it impacted needs to catch you in the right spot to fuck you up, and maybe disable or kill you, at the very least slow you down a bit, making you less useful as a military asset. All of this caused by a *secondary* effect of the weapon, the primary effect being "putting big hole in things".
