A good question- one we don't really have a good answer for. This took place about 1000 years ago, and we don't have a lot of records. The earliest guns were crude cannon- and the first bullet may have been a large arrow or spear- so wood and bronze (or iron).

because when you buy a firearm it comes with two spend casings to show the fireing pin strike on the primer and if the pin strike is the same as the one on the casing that was used in a crime then they know it was your gun. the only way you can avoid this is to change the fireing pin with a different one.

Are real bullets ever used in films?
In general, no. Actors fire blank cartridges. When you see a bullet strike a surface or the ground in a movie, that is a special effect created by a small, firecracker sized charge. That can be electrically detonated in EXACTLY the right place- because it was already placed there. Live ammunition is too dangerous, AND does not have the splashy visual effects that a movie maker wants. (Real bullets do not make sparks when they hit)
