Bullet was invented in 1847. Second Amendment is from 1789. Thus the second amendment only applies to Muskets.

In 1789, there were already multi-shot weapons:


They clearly had pistols, sidearms, rifles, shotguns, and muskets.  In addition, they had rockets, cannons, bombs, and varying explosive devices.  This is why they chose the word "Arms", and not musket, or cannon, or rocket or any narrowly defined type of firearm.  The Supreme Court has examined this in depth and confirmed its meaning to be much broader than musket.
