Depends on the rifle and the cartridge that it fires. A 30-06 firing a 180 grain bullet can reach just over 10,000 ft straight up. Data taken from Gen. Julian Hatcher's ballistic research for the US Army.
Can't be answered without knowing the caliber, bullet weight and if it is fresh or salt water.
because the bullet and the rifle have equal and opposite direction,so a bullet have high kinetic energy and momentum
DEPENDS ON which RIFLE, AND which BULLET. A standard velocity .22 Short has a muzzle velocity of about 1100-1200 feet per second. At the other end of the range, I have a .220 Swift (high powered, bottleneck, centerfire cartridge) that fires a bullet at about 4,200 ft per second. MOST of the others are somewhere between those 2 extremes.
When a bullet is fired from a rifle, a chemical reaction in the gunpowder ignites, rapidly expanding gases build up pressure, and the bullet is propelled out of the barrel at high speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin, improving accuracy and stability. Gravity will eventually cause the bullet to drop due to gravity and air resistance.
No, even elephants can be brought down with a high powered rifle.
The Shinkansen is also known as the bullet train, it is a high speed railway in Japan
If you mean the spiral grooves inside of a rifle barrel- those are the lands (high spots) and grooves (low spots) that make up rifling. The bullet, being softer than the steel of the barrel, is pushed into the rifling when fired. The lands cut into the outer edge of the bullet, gripping it, and causes the bullet to rotate with the spiral. This rotation causes the bullet to travel in a straight line as it passes through the air- and is much more accurate than a smoothbore (no rifling) barrel. Ever notice how a football spins when a pass is thrown? Same thing.
Depends on the .22 cartridge, what weight bullet, and what it is fired in. Some .22s travel slower than the speed of sound (about 1100 fps) some high velocity 22 LR cartridges fired from a rifle reach muzzle velocity of 1750 fps with a 30 grain bullet. The .22 Magnum may reach 2200 fps with the 30 grain bullet.
Depends on the speed of the bullet, air temp and humidity. I hsve been about 6 feet from the path of a high powered rifle bullet, and you can hear the crack caused by the bullet breaking the sound barrier.
The distance a bullet can travel depends on the type of firearm and ammunition used, as well as factors such as muzzle velocity, air resistance, and gravity. For example, a typical handgun bullet can travel up to 1-2 miles, while a high-powered rifle bullet can travel over 3 miles under certain conditions.
About 1.5 miles when fired at a very high angle from a rifle.
no. just like regular sounds the can be bounced off things. so Evan high pitched sounds do not travel in a straight line
