Hi there,

This is just a simple bullet made as a lathe object. I wanted to smooth the
sharp corners but I wasn't able to get any of the built-in curve types to work
for that purpose. I had to use a linear_spline and make faceted corners to round
them off. But anyway, you can't see any difference in the final product, which
is a 7.62 x 39mm cartidge. I selected that particular round because it's
historically important, and there happens to be a diagram showing the
measurements on the Wikipedia website. (Actually, only the casing is a
linear_spline. The bullet itself is a cubic_spline.)

Regards,
Dave Blandston
