I have been writing about Parrott rifles exploding in my Saw the Elephant: Civil War blog. The Parrott explosions were especially bad during the First Battle of Fort Fisher. It was so bad that the commander of the USS Brooklyn elected to put his two 100-pounders on the side opposite where he was firing at the fort.
