Since there is no friction in space and so nothing to slow it down, a bullet would in theory go on travelling forever. It would only stop if it hit something like a star or planet.According to Newton`s first Law, the law of Inertia, it would go on forever if it does not collide with a gravitational force because there is no force exerted on it in space.
What else can I help you with?
What would you need to go to Jupiter?
you would need a space suit and supplies also a lot of space food and the most important a spacecraft.
How far would a bullet penetrate water before it stops in water?
you can protect yourself from a bullet by diving underwater. If the shooter were directly overhead, you would probably be safe from most guns at 8 ft. At a 30 degree angle, you would only have to be 3 ft underwater to be safe.
What is an orbit and why do objects stay in them?
Objects in space go around other objects, in elipses. They stay there because of the forc of gravity of the central object. Without it, they would go away, in a straight line.Objects in space go around other objects, in elipses. They stay there because of the forc of gravity of the central object.

Can a magnet deflect a sniper rifle bullet?
No, not even a rare earth magnet could deter the path of a high velocity bullet. If the bullet hits the magnet then in would go in to a depth depending on caliber and range then stop just like if it hit any metal. Most bullets are made of lead and copper, and are not affected by magnets.
How much faster does electricity go than a speeding bullet?
Electricity travels at the speed of light, which is approximately 670,616,629 miles per hour. In comparison, the speed of a bullet can vary depending on the type of firearm and ammunition used, but typically ranges from about 1,200 to 3,000 miles per hour. Therefore, electricity is significantly faster than a speeding bullet.
How far would 1000000 feet be?
It would be the edge of space and it would be impossible to go.
How long would space take to go through?
space is infinite, as far as we know. you would just keep going
How far will a .22 bullet go?
In excess of 1.5 miles.
What will happened if you press the trigger of a pistol in space?
The bullet will shoot out. It will go on forever and ever until it comes in contact with another force. ______________________________ You'll need to be more specific. If you are in space, wearing a space suit and standing on the surface of the Moon, the bullet will fly out of the barrel. It will go about 10 times farther than it would on Earth, but the Moon's gravity would pull it down to the surface. The bullet would impact the surface at the muzzle velocity of the firearm, since there is no air on the Moon to slow it down. If you are in free space wearing a space suit, then the bullet will exit the barrel of the firearm on one direction, and you and your spacesuit will move in the opposite direction. The momentum of the bullet and your momentum will be equal. Momentum is mass times velocity, so you'd need to calculate the mass of the bullet times the muzzle velocity of the gun, and divide by the mass of you + spacesuit to see how fast you would go in the opposite direction. Also, unless you were holding the gun precisely even with your center of mass, the off-center momentum would also cause you to spin. The bullet would continue in a "straight" line until it struck another object. However, since the bullet does have some mass, it would be affected by the gravity of all other objects in space. Depending on exactly where you were when you fired it, the bullet would probably go into orbit. If you were next to the International Space Station and you fired the bullet up away from the Earth, then the bullet would enter an eccentric orbit with a minimum altitude equal to the ISS and a maximum altitude somewhat higher. It's possible that the bullet would strike the ISS or one of the Dragon Crew Supply Modules months or years later!
How can gunpowder ingnite in a bullet?
Gunpowder creates it's own oxygen as it burns, so out side air source is not necessary. a bullet would go off in the vacuum of space as well.
How far will a 338 win bullet go?
In excess of two miles.
How far will a 22 rifle bullet go?
In excess of 1 mile.
How far could a bullet go without being stopped by a force?
There is actually no limit. Gerald Bull put one into space. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Bull
Ghost recon can bullet go through walls?
so far that i can tell no.
How far does a pistol bullet go?
300 yards A pistol bullet can travel much further than 300 yards. On average, a pistol bullet can travel about a mile.
How far does a bullet go whend fire up?
That depends on the caliber of the round of ammunition.
