Shrapnel can come in a good many of forms. One of which is if you are flicking staples at someone, they need to yell "SHRAPNEL!!" and take cover. Another form is people shrapnel which often happens when people jump across seats on a bus and land on you. When this happens you also can yell "SHRAPNEL!!" And the last form of shrapnel is when a grenade blows up and sends scraps of razor sharp metal into your face and or body.But nobody has heard of that last form.
