The invention of the Minié ball, a conical bullet with a hollow base, significantly impacted the Civil War by improving range and accuracy, which led to more lethal combat. This advancement in ammunition resulted in higher casualty rates, as soldiers could inflict severe damage from greater distances. The Minié ball also contributed to changes in military tactics, as traditional formations became less effective against the new firepower, prompting a shift toward trench warfare and more defensive strategies. Overall, it underscored the brutal nature of the conflict and highlighted the technological advancements in weaponry during that era.
The standard rifle in the American Civil war fired a large (.69 caliber) slow, heavy, soft lead bullet. In some cases, they fired a large round lead ball, mixed with smaller buckshot (known as buck and ball) in others, a hollow based bullet, known as a Minie Ball. The combination of weight, slow speed, and very soft lead could shatter a bone in an unlucky shot.

The South was in worse shape, since they were defeated. Plus there was the Reconstruction Era which penalized the South and burdened them with additional bureaucracy.
yes it did
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.
It really matters because the sharper the bullet the deeper it goes in somthing
A bullet's shape is designed to minimize air resistance, or drag, as it travels through the air. This streamlined shape helps the bullet maintain high velocities and remain stable in flight. Additionally, the rifling of the barrel imparts spin on the bullet, which improves accuracy by stabilizing its trajectory.
Obviously, because of its speed and shape.
Yes
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.
The velocity, weight and shape of the bullet, and the density of air through which the bullet moves changes a firearm's range.
ammunition means "to be fired from a gun" so slug ammunition means they use it as a bullet ,or with one ,or maybe they have a bullet as a shape of a slug
To create a bullet made of ice, water is frozen in a bullet-shaped mold. The mold is then placed in a freezer until the water solidifies into the shape of a bullet. The ice bullet can then be removed from the mold and used for various purposes, such as cooling drinks or for artistic displays.
A bullet camera is a specialized type of camera used for surveillance, or for surveillance systems. They are so called because of their unusual shape and size.
The weight and shape of the bullet, the speed at which the bullet leaves the gun, and the degree of tilt of the barrel above the horizontal.
