Bullets are used for listing items or actions
Silver was used in bullets for quite a while. This metal proved to be very precious in making the bullets.
Yes, bullets can ricochet off water, but the angle of impact and the velocity of the bullet can affect whether it will ricochet or not.
There are materials such as Kevlar and ceramic plates used in bulletproof vests that can effectively deflect or absorb bullets, even if unmarked. These materials are designed to dissipate the energy of the bullet upon impact, reducing the risk of injury. Additionally, armored vehicles with thick steel or composite armor can also provide protection against bullets.
yes
Effective body armour did not exist at that time, any armour strong enough stop bullets would have been to heavy for a man to move in.
The backstop. Usually a sheet of metal, set at an angle, bullets striking it are deflected down. Some strike a bed of sand, some water, some are deflected into a large round metal pipe, where the bullets spin until they stop.
no
Gives protection from bullets, fragments and some CBRNE agents, as well as concealment from enemy observation.
bullets do not go far after being fired into water.............and are unlikely to penetrate a body after couple of feet into water....Most bullets will shatter after going a few inches into the water, however, if they are already slowed down enough, they could go through the water and kill someone.
