Best Answer

All bullets "begin losing power" as soon as they leave the barrel- and continue to lose power until they stop. Firearms have a maximum range- how far can the bullet be driven- and a maximum effective range- How far can I HIT a target consistently with this gun/cartridge. Most 9mm pistols have a maximum range of about 900 yards- but at that distance, you cannot reliably hit anything except the Earth. An average max effective range is about 75 yards.

How does AC electricity travel?

Electrical energy can travel along a simple electrical circuit or along a transmission line, or by electromagnetic radiation. AC power usually refers to power at a single frequency, for example 50 Hz or 14 MHz. Power travelling along a transmission line loses a fixed proportion of its intensity per unit length of the line. By contrast, power travelling by electromagnetic radiation loses three quarters of its power density every time the distance is doubled. Therefore of the two methods electromagnetic radiaton can travel a lot further.

What happens when an ammo clip is hit by bullet?

The term you are looking for is probably an ammunition magazine. If a loaded magazine struck by a bullet, it usually get bent, or has a hole knocked in it. If a bullet hits a loaded cartridge IN the magazine, it will usually dent the cartridge, or tear it open. ONLY if the bullet were to strike the primer directly would there be a BANG- and that would be the bullet popping out of it's cartridge case. However, the bullet would have little power, and only travel a few feet- it is not confined in a barrel. Not quite what they show in the movies- sorry,
