What else can I help you with?
If a bullet was fired down through the earth's atmosphere how long would it take and how fast would it be?
That would depend on the mass of the bullet, the bullet's velocity when it left the barrel of the gun, and from how high up the bullet was fired from.
Does a bullet of the same caliber travel faster if fired through a rifle rather than a pistol?
a bullet of the same caliber and same grains of powder fired from a long barrel will have a higher muzzle velocity than if fired from a short barrel.
Why does a handgun round become less effective than a rifle bullet over a long distance?
Handgun projectiles are fired through shorter barrels which lead to a reduced production of muzzle energy.
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 long does it take for a bullet fired into the air to come down?
The time it takes for a bullet fired into the air to come back down depends on the bullet's initial velocity, weight, and aerodynamic properties. In general, it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to over a minute for a bullet to fall back to the ground. However, firing a bullet into the air is extremely dangerous and can cause harm or even death when it falls back down.
What is the maximum distance a bullet can travel?
The maximum distance a bullet can travel depends on factors such as the type of ammunition, angle of fire, and environmental conditions. In general, bullets fired from rifles can travel several miles before losing velocity and dropping to the ground. However, firing a bullet over long distances increases the likelihood of accuracy being affected by external forces.
Does a long barrel helps the bullet to travel long distance?
Yes and it helps with accuracy as well. The barrels of long distance guns are much longer due to the fact that they are firing much longer rounds, what also helps with distance and accuracy is that the inside of the barrel is grooved in a spiral fashion which causes the bullet to turn allowing it to go further and straighter.
How much does a bullet slow down after being fired?
A bullet hardly slows down at all after being fired. While bullets come in a variety of shapes, sizes and weights, they are all failry aerodynamic and thus minimally impacted by the wind resistance (friction). A bullet's primary enemy is actually gravity. Once fired, it is a matter of time before gravity pulls the bullet crashing down into the earth...assuming it does not strike something first. While a high powered rifle will send a bullet farther and faster than a .38 pistol, fired from the same height, at the same trajectory over level ground, they will have almost identical hang times. Again, the faster bullet will simply go farther. The speed loss for any bullet, (buck shot not included) is negligible. It will strike the ground or object in its way with almost the same speed as when it was fired no matter how far away it is. This is of course excluding shots in the air where there is little horizontal movement and the trajectory is mostly verticle. Here, obvioulsy, gravity will take over and the bullet will ultimately fall back to the ground at the terminal velocity - much slower than muzzle velocity.
Does writing on a bullet cartridge with a sharpie cause damage to the gun when fired?
No it does not. It may flake off and get onto your barrel but as long as you clean your gun as you should there will be no damage done.
Why does a bullet have less momentum fired from a short barrel vs long barrel?
At the instant the gun fires, the bullet is at rest- speed zero. As the expanding gasses from the burning gunpowder reach the bullet, they begin pushing the bullet up the barrel. It's speed is increasing- and the longer the push, the higher the speed. There IS a point of diminishing returns- where a barrel LONGER than the perfect length begins to slow the bullet- you have used all the expanding gasses, and now friction is slowing the bullet. If you had a barrel 20 ft long, the bullet would not make it all the way up the barrel, it would stop.For barrels on any realistically-usable weapon, a longer barrel will provide more momentum to the bullet than a shorter one. In addition, longer rifled barrels will also impart more spin, which will increase accuracy.
How do frog catch prey on land?
Frogs have a long sticky tongue that they can flick out to an appreciable distance. They can even catch the elusive fly with it.
What is the distance a Remington 22 long rifle ammo will travel?
About 1.5 miles when fired at a very high angle from a rifle.
