If you drop a bullet and fire a rifle at the same time will the bullets hit the ground at the same time?

Technically, yes. There are many variables to consider though like recoil, wind resistance, the barrel of the weapon, etc. The Mythbusters actually did that test. You could probably find that video somewhere.

Is the bullets button an on off toggle for the bullets feature?
Yes. It may also activate a drop-down where you can choose bullet style.
When a rifle is fired horizontally the bullet leaves the barrel and doesnt drop at all for the first 35 meters of flight Is this true?
Depends on rifle, bullet, case design and powder charge.
A rifle is fired at a distant target and bullet is fired horizontally from a gun you drop a bullet from the height of the barrel if there ain't air resistance which bullet hits the ground 1st explain?
They will arrive at the floor together (assuming the floor is horizontal). The reason is that both the initial vertical component of the speed, and the vertical acceleration, are the same.
If you drop a bullet and it hits the ground will it explode?
Bullets have no explosives. You may be thinking of a cartridge, which is a case, powder, primer, and bullet. It is very unlikely that the cartridge will do much of anything, but if the primer is struck hard enough, it can make a loud bang, but is unlikely to hurt anyone.
How do you calculate the vertical drop of an object travelling horizontally at 101 mph?
It depends because horizontal velocity does not affect vertical velocity at all! Example: If you took a bullet and shot it out of a gun at a perfectly horizontal angle (0 or 180 degrees) and dropped another bullet from the same height of the gun barrel, both bullets would hit the ground at the same time.

How far does a bullet drop at 1000 yards?
There is no one answer, since there is no one bullet. The drop of a bullet is a function of the speed- how long it took to get to 1000 yards. Some bullets will not TRAVEL 1000 yards. All other things being equal, the faster bullet will drop less.
What is the bullet drop of a 22 cal long rifle?
There too many variables to give one answer- the drop is not even over distance, since the bullets begin to slow quite a bit at distances greater than 150 yards, It will vary depending on the speed of the bullet- and that varies by make, by bullet weight, and whether fired from a rifle, pistol, or revolver. When zeroed for 100 yards ,the trajectory of the standard high-velocity .22 LR with a 40-grain bullet has a 2.7-inch rise at 50 yards , and 10.8 inches drop at 150 yards .
17 and 22 rifles witch bullet drops faster?
All bullets drop at the same speed.
How far does a .50 Bullet drop?
To the ground.

What is drop on a gun?
The BULLET drop is the pull of gravity on the bullet as it is shot, resulting in the bullet lowering in altitude over a long distance. This is what long-distance shooters have to account for on their scopes. Different types of bullets with different weights, sizes, and shapes, as well as the barrel length and rifling ratios, affect how much the drop will be.

How do you use a ramrod puller?
The ramrod puller is used to remove bullets from a muzzle loader rifle without firing it or in the case of a mis-fire with a stuck bullet. The puller has a worm screw on the end of the ramrod or a pair of spiral wires. Drop the ramrod with the Puller on the tip into the barrel. Grip the ramrod and twist it such that the screw will dig into the bullet. Then pull on the ram rod to loosen the bullet and extract it.
When a bullet is fired from a rifle?
When a bullet is fired from a rifle, a chemical reaction in the gunpowder ignites, rapidly expanding gases build up pressure, and the bullet is propelled out of the barrel at high speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin, improving accuracy and stability. Gravity will eventually cause the bullet to drop due to gravity and air resistance.
How soon does a bullet fall?
A bullet falls as soon at it leaves the barrel of the firearm.In other words, if you hold a bullet in your hand and drop it, and at the same time you shoot a bullet parallel to the ground, both bullets will touch the ground at the same time.In order to shoot at targets that are further away, the muzzle of the firearm is raised above the line of sight. Go outside, take a garden hose, and spray a stream of water. If the hose is held parallel to the ground the water begins to drop as soon as it leaves the hose. To spray something further away, you will raise the angle you are holding the hose- water will spray up, and fall back.
