5.56mm hands down... slides through steel like butter... but won't slide through a body.... instead it explodes inside!!!!!

"Normal" bullets don't explode. They may expand or fragment.

5.56 may fragment if the correct bullet is used. full metal jacketed bullets are most likely to go straight through bodies. hollow point bullets tend to mushroom on impact opening a large internal cavity, but tend to stop 10 to 12 inches into the target. they make what are called frangible rounds which are a soft jacketed round with some sort of metal powder inside. these rounds disinigrate upon impact spreading the metal powder throughout the target. to name a "deadliest round", it would depend on the target, the weapon platform, and probably some other factors.

any bullet can be deadly if used correctly, but you can't go wrong with the .50 cal armor piercing incedniary round fired from a M2 BMG, "ma duece"

Does a bullet train travel faster than a bullet?

bullet trains travel at 96.5 percent the speeed of a bullet No it doesn't. A bullet train does around 190mph normally and can reach 275mph. Depending on calibre, a rifle bullet travels at 1,500-2,000mph. So on average, a bullet train travelling at normal speed travels at between 9.5 and 12.6% of the speed of a rifle bullet.


Will a shot bullet land at the same time dropped bullet?

No, the shot bullet will land after the dropped bullet. This is because the shot bullet has an initial horizontal velocity in addition to the vertical acceleration due to gravity, while the dropped bullet only has the vertical acceleration due to gravity.


What is the difference between a 9mm bullet and a 45 cal bullet?

The main difference between a 9mm and a .45 caliber bullet is the diameter. A 9mm bullet has a diameter of 9 millimeters, while a .45 caliber bullet has a diameter of .45 inches. The .45 caliber bullet is larger and generally heavier than the 9mm bullet, resulting in differences in recoil, speed, and stopping power.
