A bullet itself is a hard one to explain. it's lead based and it's usually put into a clip of a gun or barrel. The bullet is capped off at the back with a small amount of gun powder which is then hit by a firing pin or pins to produce a loud explosion wich is normally aimed at the target .

Answer:

The bullet is part of a kinetic energy transfer system. It is usually fired from a pistol or rifle at high velocity.

The bullet itself is usually made of dense material (lead, bismuth, iron, tungsten, depleted uranium) with or without a protective covering of copper or other metal.

A bullet is usually packaged with a propellant (gun powder, black powder, nitrocellulose, gun cotton) together with a casing to allow transportation, and a primer which ignites the propellant. The entire unit is called a shell.
