It depends on what you mean by measure, but if you mean in regard to the "50 caliber" part, caliber is the diameter of the piece of lead.


If a bullet travels at 1100 fps how far would a 50 caliber travel?

a s.w.50 caliber or ( special weapons ) also known as the snipers weapon and is about 5.45" in length, either it has a red, black, silver or blue tip That really didn't answer the question. Here is what you need to consider when trying to answer this question. #1 What is the weight of the bullet? If you're talking about a 750 grain .50 BMG, then it would not travel very far. Is this a Beowulf .50 cal or a Browning Machine Gun .50 cal? You can get exterior ballistics software on-line to calculate exactly what your looking for.

Velocity of .50 BMG (Browining Machine Gun, 660 gr to 720 gr bullet weights ) projectile within 20 feet of the muzzle will between 2750 and 2850 feet per second, depending upon the cartride.It depends on the weight and shape of the bullet, as well as the amount of powder used, but a good average would be from 2800 feet per second to a little over 3000 feet per second when shot from a rifle. There have been reports of greater speeds (in the 4000 to 5000 fps range) perhaps with sabot rounds.

Is a 50 caliber bullet measured differently than a 5.56 caliber bullet. if so how is the 50 larger than the 5.56?

They are most certainly measured differently. The "50" in 50 caliber is measuring in inches and should actually be referred in writing as ".50 Caliber." The "5.56" is in millimeters (mm) and should be written as "5.56mm".To compare the two:.50 Caliber = 1/2 inch = 12.7mm5.56mm = ~ .2189 inchSo the .50 caliber bullet is roughly 2.28 times wider than the 5.56mm caliber bullet.

Size and relative power. A .40 caliber bullet is .40 of an inch and the entire cartridge is 28.8 millimeters long. A .50 caliber (handgun) bullet is .50 of an inch and the entire cartridge is 40.99 millimeters long. The .50 caliber has more powder, more velocity, and more muzzle energy.


What is the caliber bullet?

Caliber is in reference to the diameter of the bullet. A .40 (which is what I have) is .40 inches in diameter. A .50 caliber is .50 inches in diameter (half an inch). So a caliber is the inches in diameter. Not including the 9mm which I cannot stand
