Reminds me of the Gettysburg stories and photos of all the balls and minies that collided in mid air...
I remember a picture of a fence post or tree trunk that was cut in half to a point like a beaver had chewed it.
Also accounts of battle field rifle pick-ups that had multiple charges in them (I think one had 13). Apparently with all of the noise, confusion, and adrenaline, people would think that they had fired when they really hadn't and just kept on ramming charges down the barrel. (You would think that after a number, especially 13, the fact that the ramrod was only going in part way would set off some alarms.)
