he bullet. Bul′let-screw. One at the end of a ramrod to penetrate a bullet and enable the latter to be withdrawn from the piece. See ball-screw. Bullet-shell. An explosive bullet for smallarms. Jacobs's bullet-shells, used with the rifle of General Jacobs of the East India service, have an inclosed copper tube containing the bursting-charge, which may be fulminate or common powder, and is exploded by a percussion-cap or globule on striking. In experiments made with them at Enfield in 1857, caissons were blown up at distances of 2,000 and 2,400 yards; and brick-walls much damaged at those distances by their explosion. See bullet.

See fire-arm, cut C, Plate XVI. The French chassepot-gun is shown at B, same plate. The Prussian piece was invented by Mr. Dreyse, who is said to have spent over thirty years in trying to construct a perfect breech-loading fire-arm. It was introduced to some extent into the P
