Can a 22 LR caliber bullet penetrate human skull?
Depending on the distance, yes. At close range, definitely yes.
What is the effective range of a 22 caliber bullet since 2000 yards is how far it travels how far can it travel before it can no longer penetrate a skull?
effective range is the distance where a skilled shooter can reliably hit a target. For 22 LR, that is about 135-150 yards. The distance at which it will no longer penetrate a skull has too many variables to give a simple answer. The bullet usually drops to below speed of sound by 100 yards, and is dropping velocity quickly after that. By 400 yards it would be unlikely to cause a serious wound.
How do they hunt bufalo?
By shooting it right behind the buffalo's shoulder because the skull is too thick for the bullet to penetrate--it might just graze off.
Do they hunt alone?
By shooting it right behind the buffalo's shoulder because the skull is too thick for the bullet to penetrate--it might just graze off.
Do X-rays penetrate through the skull?
Yes, X-rays penetrate the skull. It takes something as dense as lead to completely block out x-rays.
When a bullet of fire directly up it is said that it is still fatal when the returning bullet hits the a person upon its return to the ground and why?
Disproven on Mythbusters, terminal velocity does not give a bullet enough force to penetrate a human skull. do the math take the mass of the bullet lets say 1 gram and gravity 9.81 m/s/s use the formula force=mass x acceleration and figure it out it is basic physics
Can a 357 ammo round penetrate a bears skull?
At close range, yes.
What does remarkable study in skull x ray mean?
The study of how to use x-rays to look at the brain by having them penetrate through the skull.
Can a gun shot through the eye kill you?
Yes, easily, if it is large enough in caliber. For example, a 22 might penetrate the skull through the eye socket, but not have enough velocity after that to move further into the brain past the membranous covers of the brain to kill you. This could still severely damage you and your brain, but may not kill you. There is not much bone in the skull between the eye socket and the brain so a larger bullet could penetrate there much easier to do enough damage to kill the victim. The covers between the brain and the skull that might stop small caliber ammunition from penetration of the brain are called the meninges. There are three different layers of the meninges that cover the spinal cord and brain and are called the pia, arachnoid and dura mater. They are each tough and fibrous. Bone of the skull is situated above these layers and below the periosteum and skin. The periosteum is another membrane that covers the outer surface of most bones through which the ammunition must also pass before getting to the meninges and brain. The very tough dura mater layer is located at the top of the other two meninges, just beneath the bone tissue and is the first line of defense after bone penetration.
What are good questions to ask a forensic scientist in the department of firearms?
If you are asking a professional forensic scientist, then you could ask:Is it possible for you to tell what distance the victim was from the weapon when he/she was shot? Is it more likely for a bullet to go straight through the skull and out or does the bullet stay in the skull?
Can a human have a a bullet in there head and survive?
Yes, it is possible. If the bullet pentrates the skull, but doesn't damage the brain, or if a non vital section of the brain is damaged, a person can survive.
Where was JFK's wound?
JFK had more than one wounds his first was in his neck from a bullet going right through him. And the second was in his head (which is what he died from) from a bullet shattering his skull.
