Ammunition for cannon is all fixed, semi-fixed, or separate-loading ammunition fired from a cannon, mortar, gun, howitzer, or recoiless rifle as distinguished from ammunition fired from a device such as a pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun or similar firearm. Fixed ammunition assembled in a unit consisting of the cartridge case containing the propelling charge and pri mer, and the projectile, or shell, fuzed or unfuzed.

S. Government or unless of a type approved by the Bureau of Explosives. Each outside package must be plainly marked with the appropriate descriptive name of the contents as: "Ammunition for cannon with explosive projectiles." "Ammunition for cannon with gas projectiles," "Ammunition for cannon with smoke projectiles," "Ammunition for cannon with incendiary projectiles' or 'Ammunition for cannon with illuminating projectiles."

It also includes devices containing no explosives, or other dangerous articles, except installed electric squibs, primers, propellants or thermal batteries required for the activation of the device, provided that it has been proven by test that when initiated the full energy release is contained within the outside shipping container. Rotating bands should be protected against deformation by method of packing or loading. No label required except "Ammunition for cannon with gas projectiles" loaded with a poisonous gas or liquid, Class A, and an explosive charge must bear the white "Poison gas" label.
