 ==Origin==
 A bullet is a kinetic projectile and a component of firearm ammunition that is shot from a gun barrel. They are made of a variety of materials, such as copper, lead, steel, polymer, rubber and even wax, and are made in various shapes and constructions (depending on the intended applications), including specialized functions such as hunting, target shooting, training, and combat. The term bullet is derived from Early French, originating as the diminutive of the word ''boulle'' or ''boullet'' ("small ball", not to be confused with [[sling bullet]]s).
