What does an old bullet casing look like from the minutemen guns?

The Minutemen used muzzle loaded muskets, which used ball and powder. Since no cartridges were used (nor had they been invented by that time), there were no casings.

How do you remove a bullet from the casing?
There is a tool made just for this purpose. It uses inhertia to remove the bullet. RCBS makes them the look like a hammer and are referred to as a bullet puller.
What caliber bullet does the TMP use?
4.5 cal (9mm) like most guns
How did machine guns work in 1914?
i think you mean the first one that are made? well, those machine guns use the pushback force from the explosion of the previously fired shell/bullet to toss the empty casing out of a small chamber of the gun and draw in another bullet automacially. this allows you to fire nonstop while holding your hand on the trigger. it fires just like any other gun expect it has a few changes to it that allows bullets to be ejected and reloaded one after another.
How far will a .22 caliber bullet fly?
It all depends on the gun and its specs like the guns velocity.
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.
How a bullet is being shot out of the barrel?
A cartridge consists of a casing (shell) with a built-in primer, a propellant (gun powder) and a projectile/bullet. When the trigger on a gun is pulled, it releases the hammer which strikes the high-explosive primer. The tiny explosion ignites the low-explosive propellant. If the low-explosive propellant was made of the same high-explosive stuff as the primer, the gun would blow apart. As the propellant expands inside the casing, the pressure builds to a point where the projectile/bullet can no longer hold on to the casing. The bullet goes the only way that it can which is down the barrel of the gun. As the bullet moves down the barrel, tiny spiral grooves in the barrel cause the bullet to spin like a spiral pass thrown in rugby or America football in order to make the bullet fly true. When you see the flash of sparks come out of the barrel, that is the remnant of the propellant being burnt after the bullet has left the barrel and is on its way to the target.

Can black powder guns fire real bullets?
By all means, yes they can. If you are referring to modern bullets or self contained cartridges the answer is no. Black powder guns fall into two major categories, muzzle loading and black powder cartridge, With muzzle loaders the powder is poured in the barrel topped with a patched lead ball or bullet, and ignited by an external cap or flint and steel. BP cartridges are much like modern bullets with the exception of the powder. Black powder burns at a slower rate thus the pressure within the case is less.. Modern "smokeless powder" burns rapidly when contained within the shell casing and produces higher pressures and bullet velocities.
Why do guns put spin on bullets?
Because of the rifling inside the barrel. If you want to know the purpose of that, the answer is, it causes the bullet to travel farther and more accurately, just like when you throw a football.
