Locations

Howitzer shells can be found at Nellis Air Force Base, in the solar array building. They can't be picked up and act as environmental dangers that can explode if accidentally (or intentionally) hit with guns, energy weapons or explosives. Compounding this danger is the fact the giant ants in the building have been eating gunpowder and explode if hit by explosives or energy weapons. The shells deal 500 damage in a radius of 12.5 yards—comparable to the effect of five 40mm grenades.
A Saturnite artillery shell can be fired (already loaded into the gun) from a fixed artillery piece at the X-7a "Left Field" artillery launch to form a crater, revealing a hidden cache at the X-7b "Boom Town" target zone in Big MT. Multiple regular howitzer shells can be found scattered around X-7a.
Two regular howitzer shells can be found in the Cuckoo's Nest. Unlike the shells found in Nellis, they do not explode when shot.
