Meplat
20
Q
- This refers to bullet that has soft lead core inside a jacket and are used against person. This is the original terminology for bullet and probably used in the commission of the crime.
-Former called as “Lead Balls”- older firearm use for muskets
- it has flat base which Even yung distribution ng force from gun powder
A
Ball Bullets
21
Q
- This refers to bullet that has hardened steel core and are fired at vehicles and other armoured targets. These types of bullet in small arms have a similarity to the standard bullet but in addition to the lead and antimony filler, a core of tungsten chrome steel which continuous to penetrate the armor target after the jacket and filler had been stripped away by the contact with the hard resistance objector surface.
A
Armor Piercing Bullets
22
Q
Use to penetrate armor, hard target, protective gear and even bullet proof glass (though it cannot totally pnetrate but there is presence of dents and damage)
A
Armor Piercing Bullets
23
Q
This refers to bullet that contains a compound at the base, usually similar to barium nitrates which set on fire when the bullet is projected. The flash of light and smoke from burning permits flight of the tracer bullet to be seen especially at night time. The path of the tracer bullet apparently continuous its light enabling the shooter to fixed his target at a particular distance.
A
Tracer Bullets
24
Q
Yung base ng bullet when firing may nag iignite sa dulo and it leaves visible trail ( pathway laser) behind the bullet it self
A
Tracer Bullets
25
- This refers to bullet that contains a mixture, such as phosphorous or other materials that can be set on fire by impact. These are used on targets that will readily burn such as aircrafts or gasoline depot.
Incendiary Bullets
26
Capable of creating spark upon impact to set fire or explosion (if target is flammable)
Incendiary Bullets
27
- This refers to bullet that contains a high charge of explosive. Because of their small size, it is difficult to make a fuse that work reliably in small arms ammunition. For this reason, the use of high explosive bullets is usually limited to 20mm and above.
-design to break apart into smaller pieces ( like grenade, capable of shrapnels )
Explosive or Fragmentary Bullets
28
- This refers to bullet that has an exposed lead at the tip of the jacketed hollow point that rapidly initiates uniform controlled expansion that progresses to the depth of the hollow point cavity.
Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP)
29
- This refers to bullet with more exposed lead at the tip that expands less than a jacketed hollow point bullet.
-half covered, half hindi (50%)
Semi-jacketed Hollow Point (SJHP)
30
- This refers to bullet that has lead core that is enclosed in a light copper jacket which has a cone shape and a flat point. The result is less expansion than a JHP bullet but more than an FMJ and deeper penetration than Soft Point (SP) bullet.
Full Metal Jacket Truncated Cone (FMJ - TC)
31
- This refers to bullet having a solid lead bullet that cuts clean in paper targets for precise scoring.
- only design for revolvers or target shooting/sports
-flat nose bullet that is made up of entirely lead.
-it has clean hole and very sharp edges
Lead Wadcutter (LWC)
32
- This refers to solid lead bullet with pointed nose. It is formed by swaging (a tool use by workers for sharpening metals by hammering) process with sharp shoulder for clean hole punching in paper targets.
Lead Semi-wadcutter
33
- This refers to solid lead bullet with rounded ogive for down-range accuracy. It is a hard hitting, economical and generally designed bullet for all revolvers.
Lead Round Nose (LRN)
34
- This refers to bullet that has lead core covered with a jacket (except the base) which results in little expansion but with deep penetration. This is also called ball ammunition.
Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)
35
This refers to bullet that has lead core enclosed in a heavy copper jacket which results in little or no expansion but deep penetration. Boat tail heel further reduces drag to improve downrange velocity.
Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJ - BT or FMJBT)
36
- This refers to extremely accurate hollow point bullet pointed with aerodynamic design. Boat tail heel further reduces drag to improve down range velocity. Precision balance and exceptional concentricity (having common center and having a common axis) greatly increase bullet stability to assure superb accuracy.
- capable of expansion (mushrooming)
Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT)
37
- This refers to exposed lead on the tip of the bullet and broader point diameter that provides controlled expansion of the jacket on the bullet at the lower velocity. The large wound is the results from expansion of the jacket that would be more or less 200 percent or original bullet diameter.
-naka expose lang yung lead sa nose
Soft Point (SP)
38
- This type of bullet has a copper sheath and a jacket covering the lead core. The jacket that covered the lead core is called full metal jacket.
Hardball Bullet
39
This refers to bullet that is ideal for use in armor penetrators. These solid metal projectiles have the speed, mass and physical properties and have exceptional performance against armoured targets. This kind of bullet is designed to defeat an armoured target at a greater distance.
- ginagamit for both armor piercing bullet and incendiary
-pinakamatigas and dense na component
-best when it comes to sever damage/penetration/perforation (usually malalaking firearms)
Depleted Uranium
40
- A bullet with a flat nose in front of a sharp wadcutter - style shoulder. This type of bullet has a shoulder that is too sharp, this will cut a clear hole on the target.
- mas dinagdagan yung sa powder capacity and pwede gamitin for rifle
Semi-wadcutter
41
This type of bullet is the trademark of Winchester. The rifle version has a lead core and a copper alloy jacket. The handgun version has a lead core and an aluminium jacket. When the bullet penetrates the body, the jacket of the bullet will disintegrate into small pieces that will precisely cause internal hemorrhage.
- it has shiny appearance, and it is versatile and flexible when it comes to usage, reliable to expansion
Silver Tip
42
- This refers to bullet having a stress lines manufactured into the slug. The results are that the bullet splits into fragments when hitting soft tissue creating a bigger wound but tends to retain its form when penetrating armor.
Fragmentation Bullet
43
- This refers to a type of bullet having a sharply pointed nose. This is more effective than the round ball of the same weight because there is less surface presented to the air and the speed of the bullet encountered less air resistance thus, it moves with unhampered speed.
- it is design by LOTHR SPITZER
-it has pointed nose, with flag base
pwede rin sa boat tail na base
Spitzer
44
This type of bullet when it hits a hard object like bones inside the body, it changes its bullet track hence having a tendency that the bullet travelled sideways. When the bullet travelled in this condition and exited from the wound, it will create a wider size exit wound.
Spitzer
45
- This refers to all soft bullets, split nose bullets, hollow point bullets and jacketed bullets with exposed lead core. The expanding effects of these bullets have tremendous damage.
- design to cause severe expansion upon impact
-it was develop from place in India
Dumdum Bullet
46
- This refers to a bullet that will expand upon striking an object and therefore produce much more serious effects and have correspondingly greater stopping power.
Mushroom Bullet or Soft Point Bullet
47
when fired from a high velocity rifle, it will expand upon striking a flash or soft tissue until it looks like a mushroom. They are designed to provide deeper penetration before expansion. However, when it exited from the wound, the exited wound will have biggersize.
Soft point bullets or mushroom bullet
48
- This refers to a bullet with an open ogive or nose, designed to increase the expansion when it hits the target. -
-Sometimes this is called Express Bullet. These are also designed to provide expansion and when it exited from the wound, it will have a bigger exit wound that the entrance wound.
Hollow Point Bullet
49
- This refers to a bullet having soft steal jacket often clad or plated with gilding metal to prevent rusting and reduce frictional resistance in the bore.
Steel Jacketed Bullet
50
- This refers to a solid copper projectile that is heat treated for extra toughness with no separate jacket and no lead core. The bullet holds together for deep penetration. Deep forward cavity causes the nose to peel back into four razor- edge petals. The four petals if viewed head-on gives its name.
X-bullet
51
This kind of bullet was introduced in 1989 that is designed by Barnes but owned by Randy Brooks.
- full metal with no lead, either composition of jacket or lead
X-bullet
52
- This refers to a bullet with a base tapering to smaller diameter.
Boat Tail
53
-This refers to a small metal cup fitted to the base of a lead bullet to protect it from the hot gases created by the burning powder charge.
-located on base, serve as guard between base of bullet and gun powder
Gas Check
54
- This refers to high performance ammunition that gives superior penetration in solid (inanimate) targets while delivering maximum stopping power with minimum danger from over penetration and ricochet. A conventional .357 magnum can ricochet up to 3/4 mile
- used to aircraft or public places, it prevent over or deep penetration/damage (minimal damage lang)
Glaser Safety Slug
55
-this were not necessary but nakakadagdag sa accuracy and powerful
-dito nagkakaroon ng another component between gunpowder and bullet which bibilis yung velocity ng bullet
Gas Check
56
It is otherwise known as Mushrooming or Spreading out upon impact
It increase stopping power of bullet while reducing penetration
expansion
