Rubber bullets were invented by the British ministry of defense to control violent rioters in Ireland and were first used there in 1970.

The bullets have a shell which is made of rubber with a metal core which are homogeneously attached to each other. They cause fewer injuries compared to live bullets but make no mistake, rubber bullets are as dangerous as the live bullets.
