The more powerful smokeless powder ( cordite) was waiting in the wings, but would not hit the stage in wide use for a few years yet. The Mark I, I* and II of this weapon were the last black powder weapons used by the British Army, despite their modern features of a vertical box magazine and bolt action. In 1888, the British Army adopted the Lee-Metford Mark I rifle - designed by an American, James Paris Lee, with a barrel and rifling system designed by a William E. The name 'dum-dum' is taken from the name of the Dum Dum Arsenal, run by the British Army in the Northeast of India (near Calcutta) in the nineteenth century. What is most well-known about the term is also, actually, usually correct. One downside to this is that the deforming lead is more likely to fragment and remain in the target, in small pieces. Hunters would use them to bring down large game that might otherwise go berserk and run off (or worse, towards the hunter) wounded, if hit with a penetrating projectile. They increase the chance of doing lethal damage with a single hit. They are enormously effective at increasing the lethality of high-velocity, smaller caliber rounds - bullets fired from long ranges, at high speeds, etc. These bullets are of reduced effectiveness against body armor since the way modern ballistic armor works is to attempt to spread the force of a bullet's impact rather than allowing it to penetrate, they play to its strengths. Technically, the true 'dum dum' is a soft-nosed projectile - one in which the metal jacket material of the bullet stops short of the bullet's tip, leaving the soft lead exposed. The purpose is the same - to ensure that when the bullet strikes an object, it will flatten or 'mushroom' and hence transfer more kinetic energy to the target material rather than blasting a hole through it. There are various means by which a bullet can be designed to do this - hollow point, soft point (also known as soft nose) or cross cut. Unfortunately, there is no 'official' technical definition of a dum-dum, but the purpose, function and history of the bullet can be gleaned from research.Ī 'dum dum' bullet is a slang term indicating a type of bullet designed to impart greater stopping power to its target by deforming on impact. meo iudicio, verum non sine vita.The term 'dum-dum bullet' is used as slang to describe a variety of bullet types. Verum etiam est in hoc mundo aliquid pulcherrimo, utere ea ut nisi dum incipiunt intentione teli nocere aliis arbitrii. Veritas in purissima est forma simplicissima est intelligere. Dum vita est, spes est! Tant qu'il ya la vie, il ya de l'espoir!ĭum loquimur invida aetas fugerit. Voilà pourquoi il est important de ne jamais perdre espoir.
Il est l'espoir qui nous maintient en passant par ces taches sombres misérables.
peu importe combien de temps et lonesome cette nuit pourrait être, la réalité est qu'il finira finalement. Ce qui nous maintient en passant par est l'espoir que, bientôt, la nuit va se terminer, et le premier rayon lumineux du soleil pénétrer l'obscurité pour éclairer notre monde. Il n'y a rien à romancer propos de l'obscurité froide et amère de la nuit. Vanity is an open bird's tail from the included spotlights.
