Is the speed of lead bullet is greater or less as compared with rubber bullet and its reason?
"Rubber" bullets are usually intended as a "less lethal" form of crowd control. MOST of these are VERY large projectiles- between 1 and 2 INCHES in diameter. They travel much slower than a lead bullet, since they are intended to inflict pain, not death. However, a rubber bullet CAN cause death, depending on where a person is struck. We don't usually think of a brick as a lethal weapon, but if you got whacked in the head with a brick, it COULD kill you. Same thing with rubber bullets.
