There's a shot tower just outside of Baltimore. I don't know about
shot gun shot, but my understanding is that shot towers were used for
cannon balls. I can't remember any details, but I am left with the
impression that hot iron globs are dropped through a tower of water and
they come out cooler and round at the bottom. Better look it up.
