  3. Incendiary ammunition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incendiary_ammunition

    The B Mark VI incendiary bullet was packed with nitrocellulose, and a small steel ball was placed in the tip of the bullet to ensure that the chemical exploded on impact. As opposed to earlier designs, the B Mark VI was a true incendiary rather than tracer ammunition . [ 6 ]

  4. Bullet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet

    Some bullet jackets do not extend to the front of the bullet, to aid expansion and increase lethality; these are called soft point (if the exposed lead tip is solid) or hollow point bullets (if a cavity or hole is present). Steel bullets are often plated with copper or other metals for corrosion resistance during long periods of storage.

  5. High-explosive incendiary/armor-piercing ammunition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-explosive_incendiary/...

    Similarly to SLAP rounds (saboted light armor penetrator) which get their armor-piercing ability from the propulsion of a 7.62 mm tungsten heavy alloy bullet from a 12.7 mm barrel (.50 caliber) using a sabot with much more energy than is usually possible from a 7.62 mm round, HEIAP munitions utilize a similar theory with an added explosive ...

  6. Expanding bullet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanding_bullet

    Expanding bullets are designed to expand on impact, sometimes as much as twice the diameter. [3] This will slow the bullet down and more of its kinetic energy will be transferred to the target, creating a larger wound channel. For this reason, expanding bullets are often used in hunting because their stopping power increases the chance of a ...

  7. Teflon-coated bullet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teflon-coated_bullet

    In testing, the comparatively hard brass bullets wore out barrels far more quickly than standard solid lead and copper-jacketed lead rounds, since they did not deform to fit the rifling. [1] In an attempt to reduce barrel wear, the steel projectiles had a copper cup which made contact with the rifling; on brass projectiles, brass driving bands ...

  8. Mercury (II) fulminate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury(II)_fulminate

    Mercury(II) fulminate, or Hg(CNO) 2, is a primary explosive. It is highly sensitive to friction, heat and shock and is mainly used as a trigger for other explosives in percussion caps and detonators. Mercury(II) cyanate, though its chemical formula is identical, has a different atomic arrangement, making the cyanate and fulminate anionic isomers.

  9. High-explosive incendiary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-explosive_incendiary

    In warfare, high-explosive incendiary (HEI) is a type of ammunition specially designed to impart energy and therefore damage to its target in one or both of two ways: via a high-explosive charge and/or via its incendiary (fire-causing) effects.
