NO, IF YOU TRIED IT YOU WONT BE READING THIS ANSWER!
Actually, the answer is yes. You could step in front of a gun and block a bullet. Your body would likely block the bullet from hitting another person. Additionally, everyone who is shot doesn't die, in fact, it's not even most, so you could block a bullet and possibly still live to read the answer, however, don't step in front of bullets. Even if you don't die, you could be severely injured.

One more answer- no. If the gun has been fired, the human body cannot react nor move fast enough to get in front of a bullet. It is too fast, and you are too slow.

Differentiate of the breech end and muzzle and of the gun barrel?
The breech is the rear of the barrel, where a cartridge would be loaded. The muzzle is the front end of the barrel. When fired, a bullet is driven up the barrel, and out of the muzzle.
What Is A Forcing Cone?
The rear of the barrel of a revolver handgun, directly in front of the cylinder has a cone shape. That shape, known as a forcing cone, serves to guide a bullet into the barrel as it is fired.
What will hit the ground first the bullet shot horizontally or the one dropped?
In theory, if a bullet dropped vertically at the same instant that a bullet is fired horizontally from a gun at the same height, they should both hit the ground at the same time.This example is used to emphasize that that horizontal motion and vertical motion may be analysed separately since they occur independently of each other.This is one of those things that works better in theory than in practice.There is a caveat that is important if you consider doing this in the real world. The process is not happening in a vacuum. The aerodynamics of the bullet fired at high speed is tremendously important. In early gun design, this was not understood and bullets fired from guns were very inaccurate and went up or down or right or left in unpredictable ways. Modern guns stabilize the trajectory by putting a spin on the bullet. The result makes the bullet act like a gyroscope and then to remain pointed forward when it encounters small anomalies in the air and wind. So, the moving bullet is subjected to vertical forces and can not be expected to drop at the same rate as a bullet with no horizontal motion.The principle of independent horizontal and vertical motion works better when illustrated by throwing and dropping heavy rocks. The principle is entirely correct, but there are more vertical forces involved than gravity with the bullets.
If you fire a gun from the front of a car with the bullet going in the same direction as the car level with the ground will the bullet's speed increase?
If a bullet was fired towards the groung it would be accelerated at a rate of 9.9 meters per second2 due to the force of gravity. The time gravity would have to act and the velocit of the bullet is so great that the extra velocity would be insignificant.
