I think it went back even further, to almost the dawn of gunpowder weapons. They would load the cannon with various size projectiles and fire them off with devastating effect.

This. I've read accounts of artillerymen running out of shot and just putting whatever was around down the bore to fire at the enemy. Rocks, sticks, cups, knives, forks... If you've still got powder, and they're still coming, anything shot out of that bad boy could be deadly - or at least debilitating. It could even shred sails/rigging on ships.
