Bullets are small metal objects fired from guns. They are usually made from lead, and are propelled by a small explosion. A special powder named gunpowder is put inside the shell and makes the explosion which causes the bullet to be propelled forward. The bullet is put on top of the shell, so that when the gunpowder explodes, the bullet is forced out at high speed. Bullets have many uses but are mostly used as a weapon in war, for hunting animals for food or as a sport, and for shooting targets as a sport and it can also be used in crimes such as murder.
