Warfare Area 3
A bullet is a small projectile fired from firearms, designed for accuracy, speed, and impact. Typically made of lead with a copper jacket, bullets vary in shape and size depending on their intended use, from target shooting to hunting and self-defense. When a gun is fired, the bullet is propelled by ignited gunpowder, traveling at high velocities to strike its target with precision. The term "bullet" can also refer to the entire cartridge, which includes the casing, primer, propellant, and projectile. Different bullet types, like hollow-point or full metal jacket, serve distinct purposes—expanding for stopping power or penetrating barriers. Proper handling and storage of bullets are essential for safety. Whether for sport, duty, or personal protection, bullets remain a critical component in firearms technology.
