Is brass used in weapons?
In some cases, yes. Brass is a metal that was used for gun bullets. However, the metal is malleable and at the time of its discovery, weapons were already being made of stronger iron and steel. You can find a selection of brass weaponry from some of the world’s top enthusiasts on 1stDibs.
