4 Components of a Cartridge

There are several different words used to describe ammunition: bullets, shells, projectiles, rounds, shot, slugs, cartridges, munitions, etc. In reality anything can be used as ammunition, whether it be a stone you are throwing or words you are using in an argument.

Many people call them bullets, which to some is like nails on a chalkboard because the correct term for firearms ammunition is "cartridge."
