A bullet will usually stay together when fired, at least until it hits something hard enough to shatter it.

If you're asking about what happens to a round of ammunition when fired, it's a bit different. At the very least the bullet will separate from the shell casing. There may also be some filler, and maybe some unburnt powder that gets ejected.

Yes, a bullet can potentially knock someone over with the force of impact. However, there are many variables that can influence the effect of a bullet, such as the caliber of the bullet, the distance it is fired from, and where it strikes the body.


Who many Fps for a 233 caliber bullet?

Bullets alone have no velocity. The .223 CARTRIDGE, when fired from an M16 rifle, will drive its bullet at about 3,200 fps. However, velocity depends on the makeup of the cartridge (powder charge, bullet weight) , and which firearm it is fired from.


How many bullets can be fired from a bullet at a time?

A bullet is a single projectile designed to be fired from a firearm, so it cannot fire other bullets. Instead, each bullet is loaded into a cartridge, which is then chambered in the firearm. When the firearm is discharged, only one bullet is fired at a time unless it is a semi-automatic or automatic weapon designed to fire multiple rounds in rapid succession. In those cases, the firearm still fires one bullet per trigger pull or cycle.
