Doesnt. Twist and bullet weight will decide much of the accuracy. Long barrel for magnums because of the amount of powder being burned is important. Otherwise short barrel in any rifle will just increase muzzle flash and report.

What is the Performance of m16 rifle cal 5.56 ammunition?
Impossible to answer without more details. What range? What bullet weight? What barrel length?
What is the formula for muzzle velocity?
No specific formula. MV is the speed that a bullet is moving when it leaves the muzzle of a firearm. It is measured. Variables that affect it include bullet weight, size, powder charge, composition of the bullet, and length of barrel.
How long does it take for a bullet to get out of a gun?
Depends on the speed of the bullet, and the length of the barrel. In the case of a .22 rifle, firing a bullet at 1200 feet per second, from a 16 inch barrel, it will take 1/75th of a second for the bullet to leave the barrel.
How fast is a pistol bullet?
Too broad a question. Muzzle velocity is determined by the specific cartridge, barrel length, barrel tolerances, etc.
Starting speed of a bullet?
The question is too vague because it depends on several factors such as, gun barrel length, bullet design, bullet weight.
Does the velocity of a 22 caliber bullet change with the length of the barrel?
Yes. The velocity of all common cartridges changes with the length of the barrel. In the case of a .22 LR, they develop the maximum velocity between 12 and 16 inches of barrel. Shorter than that, the gasses from the gunpowder have not accelerated the bullet as much as they can. Longer than that, gasses reached their max acceleration, and the bullet is now slowing from friction in the barrel.
What is barrel twist?
In relation to firearms, it has to do with the rate of rifling in the barrel. Rifling is the spiral grooves that puts a spin on a bullet to increase it's accuracy. "Barrel twist" is the rate of spiraling or inches per turn. That is the length of barrel it takes to spin the bullet a full 360 degrees.
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.
What is the maximum range of a Remington model 742?
Impossible to answer without knowing the caliber, bullet weight, barrel length.
How fast is a 308 bullet?
Typically between 2600 and 2800 feet per second. Exact speed depends on WHICH bullet, the powder charge, and the length of barrel it is fired from.
A hollow point bullet travels how fast?
Depends on the caliber, bullet weight, powder charge, and barrel length. Some are relatively slow while others extremely fast.
What is the trajectory for 9mm luger?
Impossible to answer without more info. Must have the bullet weight, barrel length, and muzzle velocity.
