Scope note
Use generally for solid or nearly solid projectiles of stone or metal, containing no explosive charge themselves, fired from artillery or firearms. Use specifically for the small solid lead or steel pellets of various sizes, usually housed in a cartridge, fired from shotguns in multiples with each firing. For the small metal projectiles designed to be fired from small arms singly with each firing, use "bullets."
