I am reading a book totally unrelated to LBH and came across a reference to a gun being a 'bulldog' type and the bullets were whittled. I looked up the gun part but why whittle a bullet? Just being an extreme penny picker? In the reference it isn't a case of being in battle and having to make do with bullets not fitting. Would there be any sort of advantage to a whittled bullet or would it just be a new and exciting way to screw up a gun?

glorvin97 knows about guns! Aside from that, it was known that altered bullet tips, such as cross cuts and drilled holes made the lead open up faster, causing greater tissue damage. A different take; www.jackmasters.net/bullets.html |

A different take; www.jackmasters.net/bullets.htmlThank you! that actually makes sense in the historical context of the quote and the nature of the person with the gun. ( H. H. Holmes) I knew someone around here would have a good suggestion. Beth |
