As I understand it the .557 minie bullet was used in the American Civil War omg this thing looks like it would leave a gaping hole in you.

Could nearly take your arm off, often went throw 2 or even 3 people. They banned solid lead bullets in the early 1900s as too damaging. Never understood this, thats what I thought War was, you didn't run over & kiss your enemy to death.
