@bestamerica The US Navy does not use black powder but a "smokeless' powder typical of all modern firearms and cannon.

@enomis9393 They get recycled but not reloaded as they are steal ammo cases and do not reload well. I suspect that rounds of this size wouldn't be reloaded even if they where brass.

@3IDLukeK I was actually surprised to see how they look like the went overboard in the video. If I had been a just a slightly higher angle you would be able to see that most of them bounce of the wire railing around the deck and just kind of sit in the "gutters' on the side. They gave away most of the shell casings at the end. A few do bounce really high and manage to make it over the rail but of the 25 or so rounds they fired they gave away like 22 so most of them must have made it.

most of em bounce overboard
