A BULLET is the projectile fired out of a CARTRIDGE. A bullet would be identified by it's measurements, weight, and shape. A cartridge would be identified by measurements, shape, and the headstamp- markings on the head of the case. The bullet itself (especially in the military) is often called a "ball" even though it may be spearhead-shaped, and the combination of bullet, cartridge, primer and powder as a unit is commonly called a ROUND of ammunition.

How are bullet casings and bullets used to compare and identify guns used in crimes?

The barrel of a gun has lans and grooves that cause the bullet to spin. These grooves leave distinct markings on the bullet that are like a fingerprint. No two guns leave the same markings on a bullet. The bullet casings are marked by both the firing pin hitting the primer or case rim, and the extractor that grabs the case and ejects it from the weapon. These are also distinct, gun specific, markings.
