Webi'm watching the movie the prince on netflix and a guy asks for mercury tipped bullets. I'm curious what the trajectory, and the ballistic profile would look like after impact. Webmercury (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. Weba bullet tipped with mercury fulminate will explode, not in a dramatic day of the jackal style, but fragment further nonetheless. Unlike liquid mercury where the victim. Webexpanding bullets, also known colloquially as dumdum bullets, are projectiles designed to expand on impact. This causes the bullet to increase in diameter, to combat over. Buy, sell, and trade your firearms and gear. These bullets feature a hollow tip filled. Webfilling the tip of a bullet with some mercury fulminate crystals would create an explosive bullet (though not nearly as powerful as books and movies might make it out to be). Webfilling the tip of a bullet with some mercury fulminate crystals would create an explosive bullet (though not nearly as powerful as books and movies might make it out to be). Webdoing some quick research, apparently, filling a bullet with just regular mercury, in actuality, would soften the lead of the bullet to the point where it would likely fly apart when fired. Webmercury will pop out the wax cap since there is nothing in bullet construction that wax will hold onto couple of issues: Boring out the bullet will make it likely to. Mercury, being a liquid, would. This was sometimes done in the past in order to. Webmercury goes into solution with a number of metals at room temperature, lead being one of them along with silver, tin, copper, zinc, aluminum, and a host of other metals. The science was/is bad, and they don't really do. Webthe problem in designing a mercury filled bullet is to fill the hollowed cavity of the bullet with mecury without pockets as the mercury hardens almost immediately.
