What about Civil War bullets?
The US Civil War was our last war fought with muskets. The Civil War was a transitioning phase to metalic cartridges, that we still use today. When US Civil War soldiers fired their muskets/rifles there was no spent shell casing to eject from the weapon. Only a lead ball or minie bullet came out of the muzzle (minie bullet was shaped like today's bullet...long missile shaped). Some Spencer repeating rifles were used (the transitioning phase) in which spent copper shell cases were ejected from the weapons.
What is the difference in a civil war bullet from the confederacy and the union?
Even though both sides used the same rifles, their bullets were slightly different in how they were made. The muzzle-loading rifles used a Minie ball that was a conical bullet with a hollow base. The outside of the base had rings molded into them by the bullet mold.In general the difference was the number of grooves at the base: 2 or 3. I forget which side had which number: believe the Confederate used the 2 grooves. Also, some of the Confederate bullets were made very crudely and some have been found that were more blunt with no grooves at all.
How do you identify a pellet rifle?
A pellet rifle has no firing pin. It also can not fire a bullet or gunpowder. It can not be made to do so either. The pellet has no charge (casing like a bullet) it just a pellet. However pellet rifles can be just as deadly as a real firearm. They use Air or C02 to project the pellet downrange. Some Pellet rifles are used for hunting, others for target practice. The Major difference between a firearm and an air rifle, is Gunpowder is use in Firearms and Air or C02 is used in Air rifles.

What type of bullet is recommended for rifles with a tubular magazine?
Until Hornady created the "Leverlution" cartridge, which has a pointed PLASTIC tipped bullet, only flat tipped or round nosed bullets were used in cartridges for a tubular magazine rifle- since the base of each cartridge is resting on the nose of the following cartridge, a spitzer (pointed) bullet could cause the primer of the round ahead of it in the magazine to fire- very bad results.

How do you determine a bullets caliber?
Measure it. Measure it with precision calipers. Better yet, look at an identification chart; a .223 is essentially the same diameter as a .22, but the .223 slug (bullet) is used in high-powered rifles, while the .22 is mainly used in rifles for small game and target practice. Identification is easiest if you have the round (bullet and cartridge case), typically only ballistics experts need to identify bullets alone.

Did repeating rifles make a difference to pickets charge at Gettysburg?
Yes they contributed greatly to the union victory, while the union soldiers had access to repeating rifles the confederates did not which caused the subsequent decimation of the confederate soldiers at that engagment. Repeating rifles were not used during pickett's charge, only cavalry used repeating rifles. Confederate cavalry had repeating rifles.
