Bullet
A bullet is a solid
projectile propelled by a
firearm or
air gun and is normally made from metal (usually
lead). A bullet (in contrast to a
shell) does not contain
explosives, and damages the intended target solely by imparting
kinetic energy upon impact. The word "bullet" is sometimes erroneously used to refer to the combination of bullet,
case,
gunpowder and
primer more properly known as a
cartridge or round; the Oxford English Dictionary definition of a bullet is "a projectile of lead ... for firing from a rifle, revolver etc." In contrast, bullets for air guns are not part of a cartridge.
