Other (Real) Bullet Display/Collection

Hey guys,

Simple, I want a collection of bullets from the smallest to the largest...not missiles or tank ammo. I am just in love with bullets and want to make a case with labels for a set of them. Any idea where I can get the bigger bullets like for a 50 cal and such.

 

Just drive around the nearest ghetto throwing various gang signs. You're sure to amass quite the collection - just make sure to duck.

Hmm, that would work except I want full bullets, not just shells :/

 

Interesting idea. Only rifle ammo or are you going to include as much as possible (shotguns, handguns etc)

 

Army surplus stores will carry some of the larger shells.

They probably also have a selection of common rifle rounds.

As for the smaller stuff, well, ebay is probably your best bet.

As for getting the whole bullet, in the UK it could be difficult - The US is probably more lax on that front, but I don't think you can buy the parts of a bullet without a firearms license.

I assume you will be covering all the variations on each caliber, like this!

 

I know at the Army surplus store in the States you can buy decommissioned ammo which is when they just take the black powder out of the round but leave the jacket and bullet intact. They have a 30mm round from the A-10 at our local one.

 

I've seen a couple of these in gun stores, generally they are bullet brand specific

This one is a speer board but i've seen nosler and winchester ones before too


I think they're pretty cool, but not what you're looking for

 

What's the one in the front and the rear right? Looks very strange.


The background seems to be the lid on a HP pavilion, btw.

 

It's a THV round. Intended for better penetration and lower recoil. I can't find any confirmation that they work as intended, though.

Interestingly, made by the French of all people.

Airsoftworld have quite a few for sale on thier website.

 

So something like this?

 

I have that in monsterous resolution somewhere in my WP folder. I say somewhere, because I'll be damned if I know where.

 

Tinypic scales it down; the version I have on my PC is something over 2000x1500.

 

Sounds about similar

 

There, right there. That's a psychiatrist's dream.

 

Nice.

 

I have one of number 57 around here somewhere. And it's live...


The chopper ring at the bottom of the actual projectile is apparently for barrel lubrication. That really tells something of the pressure involved.

 

Do you have a gun chambered for this round? Or just the bullet?

 

Only the bullet.

I wouldn't want to own one of those beasts.
