Why brass alloy is used for making bullets and weapons?

The brass bullet is generally considered to be better than the other cased bullets because it creates a chamber steel, thus you experienced less blowback into the chamber and the receiver. It is better at sealing action because it is more malleable, so it efficiently expands to more snugly fit the walls of the gun chamber. The gun throws back less gas and unburned powder every time when it's fired.

The brass has the softer property and it is more malleable, it can be easily reloaded. Brass can be reliably reshaped to its original dimensions. We can say that resizing of the gun case because gun folk is the simple and direct lot of the time. Practically, when you reload the bullets, this won't be much concern for you. For the high volume shooters and those who want to get the most bangs for their money, it is something that has to be considered. The brass has the excellent property of corrosion resistance and it is slicker. So while you find lots of brass bullets that are coated for more reliability, it is not necessary for most of the time.

Why only use brass bullets?
You may hear lots of opinions and controversies when it comes to choosing brass bullets than other alloy metal bullets. For example, most of the people think that steel bullets cause more fouling because of its lacquer coating and most of the breakdown occurred when shooting steel ammo. Brass is the mixture made alloy from zinc and copper. It is a good metal because when it is fired, it expands very quickly and shrinks back down rapidly. When it is fired off, the neck expands and seals the chamber and fewer malfunctions in occurred gunman.

Most of the guns are meant to design fire brass bullets for this reason brass performs accurately in the gun system.  Brass is more accurate than other bullets, due to its better seal on the chamber and creates less fouling. The main disadvantage of brass bullets are price, for those who are willing to buy bullets in the budget then it is going to be more expensive. It is primary case alloy for most of the bullets for a couple of reasons, some are given below:

        These are soft enough  to expand and fill in a chamber
        Not split during the fire
        Does not harm the gun parts
        Do not spark with other metal parts
        It can be reloaded many times

There are numerous advantages of brass bullets, however, the large con of brass bullets is that they tarnish, especially when uses many times. Brass can be stored in harsh conditions and kept in leather holsters.

Advantages-
  1.         The brass is more corrosion resistant
  2.          It has the lower coefficient of friction, which allows slicker feeding in semi-auto guns
  3.         Easier to sliding rounds on top of each other in the magazine
  4.         It is easier to load and unload in each gun round
  5.         Brass looks different, allows easier identification of brass at the range of a special load.
So these are the reasons why brass is good for making bullets and weapons.
