It will explode, usually sending a few fragments of brass and small bits of the fire flying. The bullet itself will usually remain in place, since it weighs much more than the metal cartridge case. This is not a safe practice, however, since the actual event is not at all predictable. A hot piece of sharp brass at high speed could ruin your outing.

How were some of the NVA tanks stopped during Vietnam?

Unfortunately for the NVA, the allies had aircraft everywhere all the time. Which is why they were smart enough not to field them in the open very much. The vast majority of NVA armor was knocked out by jets (or blasted into scrap metal by B52s). US Patton tanks did knock out some PT76 light tanks at Ben Het in '68, those were hit with the Patton's 90mm main guns. The Patton could fire 2 types of anti-tank rounds: HEAT & SHOT, but for a PT76 a standard 90mm HE round could do. In 1971 (Laos invasion/Operation Lam Son 719) ARVN M41 light tanks engaged NVA armor, those guns were 76mm. In 1972 the US employed TOW anti-tank missiles fired from choppers. They knocked out over two dozen NVA tanks, both T54 & PT76. First time that system was used. Green Berets at Lang Vei knocked out some NVA PT76 tanks with the standard M72 LAW (the US version of the communists RPG) in '68. The US LAW rocket is 66mm. Unlike the RPG, the M72 cannot be reloaded, it's "shoot and toss" (after you wreck it a bit so the enemy can't use it to fire 60mm mortars with). None of those systems "destroyed" a tank, they just punched holes in them. Air strikes could destroy a tank. 750lb and 1000lb bombs can turn a tank into scrap metal. Choppers and jets also fired 2.75" rockets at tanks, but although the air force says they were effective, some GIs on the ground think otherwise.


What is an old method of ending a quarrel?

A duel. Two men who were quarreling would meet on the dueling field, with matched weapons. These varied over time, from the early middle ages in Europe and American, common weapons were knives and daggers (in more informal, somewhat tribal conflicts), swords, sabers, and French rapiers, until the convention of pistols was established in the 18th century.Duels were typically fought over questions of honor, where a challenger would toss a glove to the ground in front of the offender (throwing down the gauntlet), at which time the offender might retrieve the tossed glove and hit the challenger with it as reply. This appears to have been a carry over from medieval times when at the time one was knighted, he received three taps with the flat of a sword on the shoulder, and a slap in the face--the last affront a knight would receive without redress.Duels where typically fought to one of the following predetermined conclusions:First blood. With the wounding of one of the dueling parties, the conflict ended, the wounded party of course being the loser.To ground. With one of the parties severely or critically wounded to the point that he can no longer continue, the wounded party of course being the loser.To the death. Self-explanatory. The deceased party obviously being the losing party.In the event of a pistol duel, a single shot was fired by each party. If neither party was struck, and the challenger communicated satisfaction, the duel ended. If the challenger remained dissatisfied, the duel might continue until one of the two was wounded or killed. Three or more rounds of fire was often considered barbaric and redundant, so duels rarely continued past two shots.It is important to note that duels are traditionally fought over points of honor by the ancient code of chivalry, but also that they are not an exclusively western phenomenon. There is connection to divine intervention that weaves throughout the convention of dueling in western thought--duelers believing that God would decide, the loser often believed to have his sin shown by his wounding or death.


What are the BAD things about a constitutional monarchy?

Monarchy has sometimes worked badly as a system, because people become a monarch simply because they are descended from the previous monarch, which does not in any way guarantee that they will do a good job or can be trusted with the power of the monarchy. However, in a system such as the one England currently has, the monarch serves a purely ceremonial function and has little opportunity to cause any serious trouble (although it would still be possible to cause serious embarrassment) so the risk is much less.

How did machine guns work in 1914?

i think you mean the first one that are made? well, those machine guns use the pushback force from the explosion of the previously fired shell/bullet to toss the empty casing out of a small chamber of the gun and draw in another bullet automacially. this allows you to fire nonstop while holding your hand on the trigger. it fires just like any other gun expect it has a few changes to it that allows bullets to be ejected and reloaded one after another.
