These bullets did collide but not mid-air as is sometimes suggested. One of them was never even fired, it has no "rifling" marks. So it was stationary, perhaps carried in a clip, bandolier or just in an ammo crate, when it was struck. Not extremely rare. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2021/09/fact-check-viral-image-does-not-show-two-bullets-that-collided-during-the-battle-of-gallipoli.html https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/05/04/bullets-collided-mid-air/ https://thefunnybeaver.com/did-these-two-bullets-collide-midair/ https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/229997-photo-of-two-bullets-collided-mid-air/
