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.

Webexpanding bullets, also known colloquially as dumdum bullets, are projectiles designed to expand on impact.

This was sometimes done in the past in order to.

These bullets feature a hollow tip filled.

Unlike liquid mercury where the victim.

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.

The science was/is bad, and they don't really do.

I'm curious what the trajectory, and the ballistic profile would look like after impact.

It is highly sensitive to friction, heat and shock and is mainly used as a trigger for other explosives in percussion caps.

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).

Webmercury (ii) fulminate, or hg (cno)2, is a primary explosive.

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.

Webmercury will pop out the wax cap since there is nothing in bullet construction that wax will hold onto couple of issues:

This causes the bullet to increase in diameter, to combat over.

Weba bullet tipped with mercury fulminate will explode, not in a dramatic day of the jackal style, but fragment further nonetheless.

Boring out the bullet will make it likely to.

Mercury, being a liquid, would.
