Horror bullets burst

In 1885, the general was considered the legendary Charles Gordon of England killed in the war in Sudan, a North African country. The Royal Family was furious over this, so he sent General Herbert Kitchener to Sudan in revenge.

Kitchener's army consisted of only 8,000 soldiers, accompanied by 17,600 Egyptian and Sudanese soldiers. Their battle was not balanced when the opponent was 52,000 Sudanese troops. However, the British army had a state-of-the-art weapon, considered an important card to help the Royal Army win the final victory.

John Ellis, author of "Machine gun history" , wrote about a witness's testimony at the war: 'The Sudanese army cannot come near but fall to the ground like fallen trees. This is not like a mere battle. I feel like an execution. The body does not pile up but is scattered everywhere, over a very large area. Some people, before dying, use shoes to put their heads on, then lie down on the ground. Others have holes in their bodies'.

According to data, Sudanese troops lost 10,000 people, 13,000 wounded soldiers and 5,000 people were taken prisoner. The battle quickly collapsed while the British Royal War Army killed less than 50 people.

In addition to using more modern weapons than the Sudanese army, General Kitchener's victory is due to the improved Mark IV . This was the first time the gun fired bullets were used in a major battle. The bullets have shown tremendous success and prompt the British to quickly claim 'blood debt' for General Gordon.

Attack mechanism

Bullet bullets , also known as dum-dum bullets , are designed to 'spread like flowers' when impacting obstacles. This helps the bullet to increase the circumference size and create better damage. If the person or animal is exposed to the bullets, the blood will bleed and die in a short time. Currently, bullets are banned from use in the war because of their high damage. There are two common types of bullets: empty bullets and soft bullets .

Conventional bullets are made of lead, a rather soft metal compared to iron. When touching the impact surface, the bullet will expand and make the wound wider. According to historians, bullets were designed from the middle of the nineteenth century with the original intention to shoot faster . They will create an empty bullet head for lighter ammunition weight and help fly faster. The first part of a non-explosive bullet will explode when touching an object and cause more damage.

The bullets only really achieve the best damage when smokeless explosives are invented. Thanks to this explosive, bullets fly with lightning speed and cause great damage. British troops built Mark I, II, III and IV guns using new explosives. They left the first part of the bullet and proved effective in the Sudan war.

In 1898, the German government sued the British Mark IV gun model and said it caused an enormous and inhuman injury to the victim. Comparing the wound of a conventional bullet, the bullets create a destructive circumference twice as large and cause the victim to die in pain. If at close range, the bullet could tear the victim apart.

The German lawsuit is effective and makes this type of bullet completely banned in modern warfare. British troops were forced to replace empty bullets with solid ammunition. The remaining bullets are used for rehearsal purposes.
