Bullets

This documentary traces the surprising history and science of the bullet, from a simple lead ball to today's precision-engineered ammunition. Over two centuries of research, it shows how a small object has been refined for lethality, accuracy and stopping power. Along the way it explores the ballistics, the manufacturing and the uneasy questions that surround it. Informative and unexpectedly absorbing, it turns a familiar piece of hardware into a window on technology and warfare. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
