Just about any muzzle loader with a patched round can eat balls made of
meteorite material, or anything else for that matter. It wouldn't surprise me
if we learned that some enterprising conquistador had heated up some Campo and
used the balls in his matchlock..or a canon.
Does anyone care to expound on what temp one would have to heat an iron
meteorite to be able to pour the melt into a mold to make a musket ball? Could
different classes of irons have different melt temperatures? Would inclusions
be easily seperated?

Projectiles made from meteoric iron and it's related inclusions would destroy
the barrel of just about any firearm.

Hi Count and List,
I wonder, has anyone ever fashioned bullets out of iron meteorites?
Best regards,

Aliens have developed a reliable source of weapons grade meteorites and a
reliable targeting system. However, it can be defeated if one remains
indoors.
