A video on YouTube. In Science & Engineering, a Krater category.

Summary by Krater

The creator attempts to recreate a Civil War bullet-on-bullet collision using a custom-built pneumatic testing apparatus, analyzing ballistics, powder charges, and variables such as lock time and rifling engagement.

What it concludes

Normal lead bullets and full metal jacket bullets fail to fuse together when fired rapidly due to differences in velocity and lead composition.
Loading super slow bullets with a minimal amount of powder successfully achieves a bullet-on-bullet fusion similar to Civil War artifacts.
