Destructive power of bullet is determined by all except 
Select and explain. 
A. Velocity of bullet, B. Weight of bullet, C. Shape of bullet, D. Kinetic energy
C: Shape of bullet
Answer: C: Shape of bullet 
Explanation: Ans. is 'c' i.e., Shape of bullet * Tissue damage (or destructive power of bullet) is dependent on striking (kinetic) energy of bullet, which is proportional to its mass and square of velocity (KE = Vi mv2). So modern bullets are designed to have smaller mass allowing transportation of large amount of ammunition and high velocity, as velocity is more important determinant in destructive power of bullet.
