    Lead in the Air

    From one of my books I read in WWI the boys in the front line endured an artillery barrage from the Germans of all calibers of 1000 shells an hour which equated to 16.6666 shells per minute or roughly 3.6000 artillery shells per second not the sort of steel rain I would want to be caught in or have to sit through in the mud.
