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.

What is a port on a gun?

Typically it is a set of holes in the upper side of the barrel near the muzzle. Part of the gasses pushing the bullet are released through those holes as the bullet passes them. Gasses going UP push the barrel DOWN, counteracting the recoil that flips the muzzle up.


What is the difference between a rifle and a gun?

Gun can refer to a long gun or a hand gun. A rifle is very particular. It has to have grooved barrel which spin the bullet when it is going down the barrel. This spin action on the bullet makes it more accurate.


Can you neck down a bullet casing so it can hold a different size of bullet and still shoot it from the same gun the casing came from?

No, if you neck down a case to accept a new caliber bullet, or "wildcat" a round, you must re-barrel the firearm to the new caliber and have a new chamber made to ensure proper head spacing. If you neck a casing down and use the same barrel and chamber you are going to have hot pressurized gas escaping around the case and the bullet. This can be absolutely disastrous if not deadly!

How many grains of powder in a 223 bullet?

A bullet is the metal projectile that flies out of the barrel. A cartridge is the case, powder, bullet and primer all put together. A typical bullet weight for a 223 is 55 grains, although they come lighter and heavier. The weight of the powder inside the case will vary from (roughly) 22 grains to 28 grains, depending on what kind of powder you use and how heavy the bullet is. If you are going to reload 223 ammunition, get a good reloading manual for specific amounts.


Does a short barrel or a long barrel kick harder?

The longer the barrel the more time the powder has to fully burn inside the barrel, which in turn increases the pressure inside the barrel and the muzzle velocity of the bullet. This generally results in greater recoil. (though not necessarily greater "kick") Though other factors must be considered as well. For many small caliber rounds like the .17 and .22 you're not going to see any noticeable increase in recoil going from a 18" to 22" barrel. Another much greater factor is the ammunition. Cheaper ammunition, such as typical store brought ammunition, has a less powerful powder or simply less powder all together than brands or custom loads. Lets take a .308 for example. A .308 cheap bullet isn't going to have any noticeable difference going from a 20" barrel to a 24" barrel. However, change the ammunition to (just for a good example) Double Tap Ammunition, and now there is more likely to be a noticeable difference from even a 22" to 24" barrel. Next up is the grain of the bullet itself. A heavier grain is going to generally have more recoil. (the heavier the bullet.. the harder it is to move.. the more energy from the expansion of gasses is transferred back into your shoulder.) Another important factor is the action of the gun. Bolt, sing-shot, break-over, pump, etc. have greater recoil than auto / semi-auto (gas or mechanical). since none of the energy is being absorbed to chamber the next round. (Also with gas operated barrels the size of the gas port can also change the recoil of the weapon, though typically not enough to be noticeable) Now lets get back into the question. Does a short barrel or long barrel kick harder. The energy being transferred back into your shoulder is generally greater the longer the barrel, but often feels less 'instant' and more as a shove. EXCEPTION! - In general, a longer bull barrel will have less recoil than a shorter standard hunting barrel, since the bull barrel weighs more. (heavier the gun the more energy required to move the gun the less recoil)

Can a piston shoot thought the hood of car?

Yes it can. Bullets may glance off the hood because the hood is sloped with respect to the flight path of the bullet, causing it to glance off instead of going through it. Same with the windshield; a bullet can go through it or bounce off.
