This question was answered definitively on the recent television program Mythbusters in the Sept 23, 2003 episode, and again on June 8, 2004. Essentially, the ice bullet is nearly vaporized on firing, and nothing but steam or very small particles of ice reach the target. You can read more at a MythBusters fansite near the bottom of the page. You may also be able to watch the episode by doing a google search on "ice bullet" and downloading the show using bittorrent.
