Changing the bullet's shape from a sphere to a cylinder with cone front giving it a more aerodynamically efficient shape. That with rifling the barrel which imparts spin to the bullet (makes it steady like a gyroscope) made bullets travel orders of magnitude faster and farther with more energy.

The invention that allowed bullets to fly farther and faster and deal more damage was the rifling of barrels. Rifling involves engraving helical grooves on the inner surface of the barrel, causing the bullet to spin as it is fired. This spinning motion stabilizes the bullet's trajectory, increases its accuracy, and allows it to retain velocity and energy over longer distances.
