  1. Measure the mass (M) of the shot.
  2. Measure the volume (V) of water displaced by the shot.
  3. Calculate the density (D = M / V).

What happens if you throw handful of cartridges in a fire?

The bullet cases soon explode like a pack of fire crackers. The lead shot may be shot out in all directions. The heat from the fire makes the gunpowder explode and the cartridge and the lead shot, will fire out in opposite directions with the ability to injure or even kill.

How is the measurement of density of liquids possible?

A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity (or relative density) of liquids; that is, the ratio of the density of the liquid to the density of water.A hydrometer is usually made of glass and consists of a cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with mercury or lead shot to make it float upright. The liquid to be tested is poured into a tall container, often a graduated cylinder, and the hydrometer is gently lowered into the liquid until it floats freely. The point at which the surface of the liquid touches the stem of the hydrometer is noted. Hydrometers usually contain a scale inside the stem, so that the specific gravity can be read directly. A variety of scales exist, and are used depending on the context.Hydrometers may be calibrated for different uses, such as a lactometer for measuring the density (creaminess) of milk, a saccharometer for measuring the density of sugar in a liquid, or an alcoholometer for measuring higher levels of alcohol in spirits.

Is Hevishot the same as heavy-shot?

Hevi-Shot is a copyrighted brand name for a non-toxic (no lead) shot used in shotgun shells. It consists of an alloy of iron and tungsten, and has about the same density as lead shot. It is a very hard alloy, and requires the use of a special shot cup to prevent damaging the barrel of the shotgun. Other non-toxic shot includes steel and bismuth based metals.
