How far does a BB shoot?
It depends entirely on the muzzle velocity of the weapon you are using. The higher the muzzle velocity the farther the projectile will travel.
What is the velocity of a bullet?
It depends on a number of factors including propellant charge, bullet weight and barrel length. Handgun muzzle velocities range from about 750 feet per second and 1350 fps. Ordinary rifles go up to about 3,000 fps. Some specialty rounds go above that. For an idea of the variation: using the same 357 Magnum round, a snub-nosed revolver will eject the bullet at 1,100 fps, a match revolver at 1350 fps and a 16" barrel rifle at 1,850 fps. Your standard-issue .45 cal pistol ammo has a muzzle velocity around 850 fps.
What is the velocity of a 50 cal bullet?
Good question. Like many questions, the answer is, "It depends." It depends on how it is loaded, what powders are used, what bullet weight is used, and when the velocity is measured. For example, sitting in the chamber, the velocity is 0 feet per second. Ha ha. But, let's assume you meant "maximum velocity", which occurs just as the projectile exits the muzzle of the gun. A muzzle loading rifle, using a .50 caliber projectile and black powder, will have relatively slower muzzle velocities than .50 caliber modern cartridges. With modern powders and rifles, at the muzzle, the velocity may be as high as almost 3,000 feet per second. Shooters who load their own cartridges can achieve any velocity in between those extremes. Once the projectile leaves the muzzle, it begins slowing down from air friction until it reaches 0 feet per second again, on impact. Funny, but true.
What is the effective range of a 22 calibre rifle using 29 grain short rounds?
25 yards
Why might some hunters prefer to hunt with a muzzleloading firearm instead of a rifle or shot gun?
Some hunters use a muzzle loader because it offers more of a challenge than using a modern rifle. Also there is a different season for muzzle loaders therefore you can hunt during that season with it.
Is it safe to fire 308 hunting ammo?
If you're using a .308 rifle, yes. If you're using it in a 7.62 NATO rifle, you need to check the headspace before you do it, because the two rounds are dimensionally similar, but not identical.
What is the FIRST thing I must do when i receive a rifle?
!. Keep your finger OUT of the trigger guard. 2. Point the muzzle in a safe direction 3. Check that the rifle is not loaded. If you are using the term receive as in a transfer of property, check the serial number to see that it matches that on the transfer documents.
What is the muzzle velocity of the M110?
Assuming the question is in reference to the M110 Semi Automatic Sniper System (SASS), and not the M110 self propelled howitzer, the answer would be 783 meters per second, which translates to something like 2570 feet per second, using the military issue 7.62x51 'special ball' M118LR cartridge. Different cartridges and loads will produce different performance results, and these will affect the muzzle velocity of the weapon.
What kind of information is indicated by the graph of a landing site distance versus projectiles mass if the slope of the curve is zero?
Force = mass * acceleration Mass is only involved during the acceleration in the gun barrel , and is involved (with the explosive force) in translating to muzzle velocity. The horizontal distance travelled depends on the muzzle velocity and the incline of the barrel to horizontal. The curve will be parabolic even when the launch angle is 0 in which case the path will be negative (essentially going underground) 1. split launch velocity into horizontal and vertical vectors 2. using vertical velocity vector (initial velocity u), calculate (total) time to rise and fall back to ground using newtons equations. 3. multiply time by horizontal velocity vector to calculate horizontal distance travelled to landing site.
What is the weight force of a 75 kg person?
Force during impact depends on deceleration which in turn depends on elasticity of the surface you would jump on. It's easier to speak of impact using energy and velocity - in example you provided, energy of impact would be about 2943 J (compare with muzzle energy of rifle bullet of 1500 J) and velocity at which you hit ground is 8.86 m/s or about 32 km/h.
Why does your 44 mag lever action rifle jam?
You are either using aluminum casing ammunition, or you are not cleaning your rifle as well as you should. With magnum rounds, (very high barrel pressures), alum. casing ammunition can expand more than brass and cause a jam.
What is a boss on a rifle?
Boss is a muzzle brake vibration controlling device attached to the end of a rifle. The BOSS system is proprietary to Browning Firearms Company. The purpose is twofold: 1./ Help to reduce recoil with the muzzle brake. 2./ Using a dialing system ( incremental numbers on the BOSS) you can set the ammount of vibration to the barrel for each ammunition load you use. This when used properly is suposed to greatly tighten the shot group on a target.
