<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the blacksmith, post: 12495816, member: 20148&quot;]Here is a Mineé ball recovered from a Victorian firing range in North England. The first image shows the plug in the base of the bullet designed to push the soft lead &#039;ball&#039; firmly into the rifling and thus increasing velocity and accuracy. The second picture shows the deformed point of the bullet, and this was presumably fired into a soft background at the range, probably packed earth. Now imagne bone etc...... No wonder the wounds were so horrendous during the ACW.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]555070[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]555071[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
