Technically a 12 gauge shotgun does not shoot a single bullet. It fires small lead balls from .25 inches in diameter to 1mm in diameter or less. Shotguns are also cabable of firing a slug which is esentially a very heavy bullet. The range depends on the angle of the barrel relative to the ground. in theory it begins to drop as it exits the muzzle.

How far can you shoot a 12 gauge gun until the bullet starts to drop?
Due to gravity, the bullet starts to drop the second it leaves the barrel. You can calculate the drop by factoring mass and velocity with gravity (9.8 m/s²).

How far can a m16 shoot until it drops?
With ALL firearms, the bullet begins to drop due to gravity the instant that it leaves the barrel. To shoot at targets farther away, the rifle is aimed at a point above the target, and gravity draws the bullet down into the target.

Safety rules for firearms?
Treat all firearms as if they were loaded until you have checked the firearm yourself. Do not load a firearm until ready to use it. Do not point a firearm at anything you do not mean to destroy. Keep the safety on, and your finger OUT of the trigger guard until ready to shoot. Know your target, and what is BEYOND your target. Do not shoot at hard objects or at water- this can cause the bullet to ricochet
How far can you shoot a 12 gauge until it hits the ground?
That will depend on the size of the shot, and not the gauge. Fired across level ground with the largest buckshot, a shotgun has a maximum range of between 600 and 700 yards. Not a usable range- just the furthest that shot will travel.
Is a bullet going through the barrel of a rifle accelerating?
Yes. It starts at zero- and when fired, begins to accelerate until it reaches it's greatest speed- usually before getting to the muzzle of the gun.
