Can Ice Bullets Work?

An assassin can fire an ice bullet to kill someone without leaving a trace. The bullet was simply too brittle to be used. (This myth was revisited in episode 14 and it was busted again.)

Can ice block a bullet?

The ice will definitely stop the bullet faster. Mythbusters shows that bullets stop almost immediately in water. Ice - even less dense - would perform better if it's not allowed to break apart in a small jug.

What happens if a bullet freezes?

Reversely, freezing temperatures may not lead to a loss of powder in your cartridge, but it has a large possibility of changing the ballistic performance of your bullets. This can particularly affect the accuracy of shots fired with long-range rifle ammo.
