These two bullets were found after the Battle of Gallipoli which started in 1915 and ended in 1916 during WWI. It appears that the two bullets collided in mid flight. Given the relatively low velocities of the weapons being used in that era, they didn't destroy each other. It looks like that the bullet being pierced may in fact have been from a smooth bore "musket" since the doesn't appear to be any "rifling" marks on it. The other bullet clearly has marks on it consistent with having been fired through a barrel that is rifled.

What are the chances of hitting another fired bullet midair?

A little history about the battle:

The allies consisted of British, French, Australia and New Zealand against a fierce Turkish Army. In the end, the allied side lost 46,000 troops while the Turkish lost 65,000, with the Allies retreating from the battle.

The Turks still consider their victory at Gallipoli to be a great, defining moment in the nation’s modern history. Eight years later, the Turkish War of Independence broke out, led by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Ataturk was a commander at the battle of Gallipoli.

The battle was also Australia and New Zealand’s first military campaign as independent dominions in the British Empire. It was a formative moment in the national consciousness of both countries.

I got this in an e-mail and thought it was fascinating.

So many processes I lost count, so I'm adding a simpler shot below. This has 2 or 3 Picmonkey texures and one of my own to add the layers of light. Somewhat busy but indicative of the possibilities of Picmonkey.

was surprised to find this made Explore.........#223. thanks for telling me, people!

when Ada looked at Luka's lids today she thought they were so beautiful, with the stars and all. she said: it's like we can see what she is dreaming on her lids when she closes her eyes.

I think that was such a cool thing to say!
