Cascabel Chili
The cascabel chili ''(little bell)'', also known as the rattle chili, is one of the Mirasol cultivars of the species ''Capsicum annuum''. The 'rattle' and 'bell' designations describe the tendency of loose seeds to rattle inside a dried cascabel when shaken. Fresh cascabel, which is 2–3 cm in diameter, is also known by the alias bola chili or ''chile bola'' (Spanish for ball chili). The pigmentation of the fresh chilis blends from green to red; when dried, the color darkens. Farmers cultivate cascabel in several states throughout Mexico, including Coahuila, Durango, Guerrero, and Jalisco.

Cascabel (artillery)
A cascabel is a subassembly of a muzzle-loading cannon, a knob to which to attach arresting ropes to deal with the recoil of firing the cannon. Description A cannon's cascabel comprises the knob (A) and the neck (B), with some models also having a filet (C). By some definitions the cascabel additionally includes the base of the breech (D). Cascabels varied in design and appearance, and were a common feature of cannons from the 17th century until the advent of the breech loading cannon in the late 19th century. Many naval guns had a heavy metal loop on the cascabel, the pomellion, through which a wide rope was passed. Bronze cascabels from captured guns have been used to make Victoria Cross The Victoria Cross (VC) is the highest and most prestigious award of the British honours system.

In fact, after the previous nominate subspecies for the ''C. d. durissus'' complex became the current nominate for ''Crotalus simus'', which now represents its Mexican and Central American members, ''C. d. dryinus'' became the new nominate for the South American rattlesnakes as represented by ''C. durissus''.
