Shot tower

The shot is primarily used for projectiles in shotguns, and for ballast, radiation shielding, and other applications for which small lead balls are useful.

shot tower
A shot tower is a tall building constructed for the production of small diameter shots or pellets for shotguns, by dropping molten lead from a certain height into water. The height of the tower and the fall through the air allows the liquid metal to form into spherical shapes before cooling and solidifying as it lands in the cooling water at the bottom. The main factors in the process are the surface tension of the liquid and its specific bounding.
