lets say if a bullet is shot from the shooting device. it's an object that has no electrical charge and has mass so there isn't an electric or magnetic force that is exerted on it, in substantial amounts to effect it's path. what does it take to shoot a single electron from a shooting device, one at a time? is it shot from a charged pool of electrons, like in an ammunition round? what i am getting at is, is there a special method to shoot an electron from a shooting device. from there you can also comment on if that special method could influence the path of the electrons after being shot.

Consider the size of the slits compared with the size of the component particles. Charge too, doesn't seem to be a factor, as positive and neutral particles also create wave-like phenomena.
do bullets shot from a shooting device through a slit exibit wave properties? if there are wave properties, they do not effect the path of the bullet through the slit, correct? here is an extra question, are electrons small enough to be effected by a charge that effects it's sensitivity with travelling in space while going through a slit? i.e. are the charges more influencial on an electron because of it's size?

Note that photons are particles - no doubt about that at all! It's just that their integrated behaviour exhibits wave-like properties. Perhaps this is telling us more about how we define waves, rather than considering them as, somehow, fundamental?
do photons have and electrical or magnetic influence on them?
