Tongs for Bullets Casting

Koper Regional Museum

Koper Regional Museum
Koper, Slovenia

The weapons collection of the Koper Regional Museum also presents the tools for making projectiles. One of these tools are ˝tongs˝ for making/casting projectiles. In order to make lead projectiles, the lead first had to be heated and then compressed with tongs. Any irregularities which had been formed (the edge where the two halves of the tongs come together) were then sanded and a beautifully shaped bullet was made.
