Types+of+Bullet

Here are three different types of bullets. They all have some similarities.

This is a Ball Bullet. The Minie ball was a conical-cylindrical soft bullet, it's smaller than the intended firearm barrel's bore, with four exterior grease-filled grooves and a conical hollow in the base. The bullet was designed by Minié. The purpose was to expand under the pressure and block up the barrel and increase muzzle velocity. In 1826, Delvigne invented a ball that can expand just to fit the grooves of a gun. In 1832, the design of the ball was proposed as the cylindro-conoidal bullet by Captain John Norton, but it have not been adopted. In 1848, the precursor to the Minié ball was created by the French Army captains Montgomery and Henri-Gustave Delvigne. Their design was made to allow rapid muzzle loading of guns, an process that brought about the widespread use of the gun as a mass battlefield weapon.

This is a Blank Bullet. A Blank is a type of container for a firearm that contains gunpowder, but it have no bullet or. When the gun is fired, the blank makes a flash and an explosive sound. Blanks are uasually used for simulation such as in historical reenactments, theater and movie special effects, training, and for signaling. Blank bullets are differ from dummy bullets, they are used for training or function testing guns. These contain no primer or gunpowder and they are inert. Blank bullets are also used for their propellant force in battles as varied as construction, shooting sports, and fishing.

This is a Tracer Bullet. It is also called Tracer ammunition. **Tracer ammunition** are bullets that are built with a small relating to firework charge in their base. It catched fire by the burning powder, the firework composition burns very brightly. So it makes the naked eye sees the projectile. This makes the shooter to follow the bullet trajectory in order to make corrections of aiming. When tracers are used, tracers are usually loaded as every fifth round in machine gun belts. To referred to as four-to-one tracer. Sometimes Platoon and squad leaders will load their whole magazines boxes entirely with tracers to mark targets for their soldiers to fire on. Sometimes Tracers are placed two or three rounds from the bottom of magazines boxes so it can alert the shooter that their gun is almost empty. Tracer rounds may also ignite flammable substances on contact from a nominal distance.

This is all the bullets that have some similarities.
