Why not simply admit you got it wrong rather than digging an even
deeper hole for yourself, silly.


"A bullet is "A usually metal projectile in the shape of a pointed
cylinder
OR A BALL"
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/bullet

That defines the bullet, only shot has a different definition,
based on the method of expulsion and equipment used.

Keep digging, you are doing as well in this as you usually do on
conspiracy theories, tesselation, flu, the price of doughnuts, et al.



Are you disputing the dictionary Freda?

Untill you find a (respected) url saying shot gun pellets are bullets
rather
than balls,
I am entitled to point out you are talking crap as usual.




But a bullet can be a ball Freda.
It could equally be an apple or an orange...or a doughnut!
so long as it's launched down the barrel of a gun...and doesn't contain
it's
own explosive, then it's a bullet...pure and simple.

Is Wikkipedia respected enough for you.....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet
"A bullet is a solid projectile propelled by a firearm and is normally
made
from metal (usually lead). A bullet (in contrast to a shell) does not
contain explosives, and damages its target by imparting its kinetic energy
upon impact.

The word "bullet" is often used incorrectly to refer to the combination of
bullet, case, gunpowder and primer; such an item is properly called a
cartridge, or round."

Get it wrong, change the ground, only(metal) world.

I never denied a bullet can be a ball shaped.

I pointed out shot is not a bullet, even though it is usually ball shaped.
Yes, in this case Wiki will do.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot

lead shot, usually iron or lead, used in shotgun cartridges and other
anti-personnel weapons
type of solid projectile used in muzzle-loading cannon

Wiki fails to mention bullet in the definition of shot!

You have still not got a url saying shot is bullet

Do keep trying, each attempt displays your retreat into Only(mental) world!
