Collided bullets

First time posting with picture. Seems simple enough but apologies if unsuccessful. Obviously this is a CS buck and ball that collided with a US three ringer. Looks like the three ringer then hit something solid. Phrases like "the air was thick with lead" and "if only this relic could talk" sure are appropriate for this relic. Don't mean to rattle on but I'm thinking that these deadly projectiles having been fired to kill may well have saved two lives by being diverted off their intended targets by having collided.

Thanks For Sharing. They are a very rare oddity of the CW, here is a link to a CWT post and they are a few other on this site. Just do a sight search and we have a LOT of great post on these.
