An 'inspired' piece which I sent to someone who had all the basics messed up, and wanted an easy way to get it right.
A bullet is a shaped projectile, which fits in a cartridge case,
The case is filled with cordite, with a primer at its base.
On the primer being struck, the cordite then ignites,
propelling the shaped projectile, along the line of sight.
The spent case is then ejected, to make way for the next.
Manual, semi or full-auto descriptions are too big for this text
The bullet comes out of a muzzle, the cartridge goes in to a breech.
Be confident of your know-how, but be cautious with your speech.
