It's not supposed to happen.

It is an unintended consequence of the Teutons' bonus that gives towers +4 extra maximum amount of arrows. The bonus is intended to make Teutonic towers able to fire more arrows than other civs when there are more than 5 units garrisoned in it, since the max projectiles of a tower is around 5, and without this bonus then putting 10 vills in a tower would still only fire 5 arrows. Unintentionally, the bonus also applies to Bombard Towers since they are also part of the Tower class, and the max projectiles is increased from 0 to 4 (BBTs were never intended to fire multiple cannonballs, so the max total projectiles is 0 by default) so 10 HCs in a BBT will make it fire 2 cannonballs.

It's pretty useless TBH, that extra damage is wasted on units like Halberdiers or Arbalests which already only take 1 cannonball to be killed, and if the targeted unit is moving around constantly, both of the cannonballs will miss. You're more likely to want those Hand Cannoneers for use in actual combat rather than being in a Bombard Tower. That's wasted potential.
