Do bullets fall out of black powder guns when holstered or pointed downward?

It has been known to happen, but if loaded correctly falling out is not an issue. A ball or bullet is loaded into the barrel of a gun with a cloth patch that holds tension against the side of the barrel and prevents it from moving. For example, a .50 caliber (.500 inch) would use a .490 bullet and be wrapped with a .015 patch for a total diameter of .505 inch. In the chamber of a revolver, the bullet is slightly larger than the bore of the gun. For example, a .45 caliber (.450 inch ) revolver would use a .457 bullet. Under normal conditions, this would keep bullets from falling out, but they can still come out if dropped or heavily Jarred.

What were bullets made of in world war one?
I think most bullets have always been made, principally, of lead. Lead is soft, heavy & easy to mould or cast.

Nowadays they are coated in copper, but lead is still their principal metal.
