Low Tech cannons mortars and shells

Good afternoon guys.

Looking into low tech, we see cannons, bombards and bombs.

But cannon and bombard ammo are solid rounds. There were no explosive shells prior to late TL5? I remember the pom-pom shooting black powder shells.

People before that did not have explosive rounds?

Saw in YouTube a brittish doc about bombards and the guys showed a castle wall that they've Said It was destroyed by bombard bombs.

Low tech give us the iron bomb. I assume people shot similar Shells?
