it depends on the rifle. 7.62mm is the same as .30cal. the mosin nagant series of rifles shoot 7.62x54R. your rifle is probably marked with the correct calibur.

Good answer. A 7.62 Nato or American rifle will shoot the 7.62x51 round or .308 Winchester round (don't try firing 7.62x51 round in a rifle marked .308 Winchester though, it's not safe.)

An AK-47 fires a round called the 7.62x39 and the .30-06 rifle fires a round sometimes called the 7.62x63. As you can see, 7.62 is a popular bullet size!

When were carbine rifles first used?

A carbine is simply a rifle with a shorter than normal barrel. They are about as old as the rifle itself, and were used by military forces that needed a shorter, handier rifle, such as Cavalry troops or Artillerymen.


A rifle of mass 2 kg is suspended by strings the rifle fires a bullet of mass 0.01 kg at a speed of 200 ms the recoil velocity of the rifle is what?

I think this would be a problem of momentum. p=mv so if the momentum of the bullet is 20 (.01x200=20) then the recoil velocity should equal 10 m/sec (2x10=20). Good old Newtons 3rd Law.

Are there any photos of david crockets musket?

Crockett had a rifle, which he called Old Betsy. A rifle has spiral grooves inside the barrel, which make the bullet spin when it is fired out of the barrel. In the same way a quarterback tries to spin the football when throwing a pass, this made the bullet fired from a rifle much more accurate than those fired from a musket. A musket is a smooth-bore weapon - no grooves inside the barrel, therefore no spin on the bullet. A musket shot is more like a knuckleball in baseball - no spin, liable to go anywhere, even a puff of wind can change its course, and musket balls do not have as long a range as rifle balls. As far as I know some Mexican wound up with Crockett's rifle after he died at the Alamo in 1836. Photography had not yet been invented.
