How did the invention of the minie ball bullet shape the Civil War?
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.
What kind of bullet was capable of shattering bones in the Civil War?
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.

What invention allowed the bullet to fly farther and faster and deal more damage?
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.
Does the shape of a bullet matter?
It really matters because the sharper the bullet the deeper it goes in somthing
Aerodynamics in and around a bullet?
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.
How did bullet train get its name?
Obviously, because of its speed and shape.
Will a lead nose 22LR bullet retain its shape in flight?

How do you identify a bullet ?
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.
Which factor changes a firearm's range?
