Availablity, Cost, and Density.
Lead is commonly used to make objects such as batteries, radiation shielding, bullets, and fishing weights.
Bullets made of ice can pose dangers due to their ability to melt quickly upon impact, potentially causing less penetration and damage compared to traditional bullets. Additionally, the rapid melting of ice bullets can lead to unpredictable trajectories and reduced accuracy, increasing the risk of unintended harm to bystanders.
Bullets are typically made of metal, such as lead or copper, and they are designed to penetrate and injure targets upon impact. The hardness of a bullet can vary depending on its composition and purpose, but overall they are rigid and dense objects that can cause damage upon contact.
I dont see why you would try, and my answer would be no. Bullets contain lead, which is poisonous, so unless you want lead poising, dont eat one The infamous KTW round was cast out of solid brass, so if you're absolutely determined to eat a bullet, I'd try and find one.
Pencil lead is not actually made of lead, but rather a mixture of graphite and clay. The graphite provides the writing substance, while the clay helps bind it together and gives the lead its structure.
Most bullets are made from lead. Some will have copper jackets around them, but the bullet itself will be lead.
lead.
Usually they aren't. Lead, or lead in a copper shell (a "jacket") is the most common choice for bullets. Bullets CAN be made of mild steel, usually also copper jacketed, and it's usually done because of concerns about the lead from the bullets causing pollution. Mild steel is one of the less expensive replacement options for lead in bullets.
Bullets can be made from many materials including wood, steel brass, copper, lead, tungsten, bronze, plastic, etc.
lead, copper, steel

Yes, some still do. The actual bullet is made of lead.
Most are. A very few have no lead, but most bullets ARE lead, or lead combined with other metals. A few have been made of plastic, wood, wax, copper, steel and even powdered iron.
bbs are made out of steel and pellets are made out of lead
About 99%. Lead is an inexpensive metal that is soft and dense- 3 criteria for bullets. Most will be made of lead- if not entirely, they will have a lead core covered by another metal, such as copper.
Lead is too soft to use in a gun. However some bullets are made with Lead.
Most are made from one or more metals, including lead, lead covered in a brass alloy, copper, etc. A few bullets are made of a hardened steel with a brass covering, and a few from plastic.
