Sądzę, że pocisk jest kojarzony z czymś małym, wyrzuconym zazwyczaj z broni palnej, choć wyjątkiem są na pewno pociski balistyczne, które są ogromne
Rakieta to coś, co służy m.in. do lotów kosmicznych, a więc ma swój własny napęd i pewnie też system naprowadzający.

Pocisk (pociski for plural) - a body used by a ranged weapon, no matter if it's a gun or a mortar.
Rakieta (rakiety for plural) - it literally means rocket, and has pretty much the exact same meaning as in English, so it can mean both spaceship or the ammunition you use for a rocket launcher.

"pocisk" is a bullet and "rakieta" is a rocket

@Fountainhead "kula" is not a technical term, but in popular speech is used quite often. It means literally "ball" since bullets for smoothbore weapons were round.

pocisk - bullet, is driven by the force of recoil
