2 cm Zerf.Gesch. m. Zerl.

Hello,
I've been trying to figure out what the purpose of this shell is, from what I know it was apparently made out of hard cardboard, which is unusual for a shell, and is filled with steel shot(?) and baryte. Maybe it was some sort of case shot?
(I've also been wondering what Zerf. stands for)
Kind regards

Case/cannister shot wouldn't use such small and ineffective projectiles.

The purpose of this shot was for training, allowing a cannon to fire with minimal danger downrange from the gun itself.

Seems fair enough.

Virtually yelling at me in capital letters is pointless, something like that bounces off me.

As does logic....
