Depends on WHICH 22 cartridge, and whether fired from a rifle or a pistol. A .22 BB cap from a pistol may have a muzzle velocity of 700 feet per second. .22 LR may range from 1000 fps to 1750 fps. Rifles will have a higher velocity than a pistol. PS- not all .22 caliber bullets are fired from rimfire cartridges. I shoot a .220 Swift, a centerfire rifle. It uses a large cartridge, firing a small bullet- at over 4000 fps

What is the velocity of a 22 magnum bullet?
About 2,200 fps for a 30 grain.
Does the velocity of a 22 caliber bullet change with the length of the barrel?
Yes. The velocity of all common cartridges changes with the length of the barrel. In the case of a .22 LR, they develop the maximum velocity between 12 and 16 inches of barrel. Shorter than that, the gasses from the gunpowder have not accelerated the bullet as much as they can. Longer than that, gasses reached their max acceleration, and the bullet is now slowing from friction in the barrel.
When a rifle with a longer barrel is fired the force of expanding gases acts on the bullet for a longer distance what effect does this have on the velocity?
To a point, the velocity of the bullet will increase. However, at some point, the gasses driving the bullet have maxed out, and beyond that point, the bullet will begin to slow from friction with the barrel. For a .22 LR cartridge, that length is about 12 inches. Larger cartridges have a greater "Max velocity" length, but there is a point of no more gain, and the start of loss of velocity.
How does a 22 caliber bullet act in the air?
Assuming the bullet is fired from a gun, the bullet will move out of the bore with a high velocity and will immediately begin falling and decelerating. If the bore is rifled, the bullet will also rotate on its long axis (providing stability in flight).
What is the Difference between muzzle velocity and recoil velocity?
muzzle velocity is the velocity of bullet and recoil velocity is the velocity of gun.
What calber is a 5.7x28 bullet?
22 cal 224 dia bullet.
Will a 22 cal short bullet fire in a titan 25 cal?
NO. Do not attempt this.
Can a 22 cal air gun fire a 22 bullet if it has a firing pin?
No
What is difference between 22 cal and 22 cal long rifle ammo?
22 caliber is the diameter of the bullet. 22 cal. comes in BBcap, short, long and long rifle
Would a 22 cal gun fired in outer space have as much muzzel volosity as a 44 cal gun fired on earth?
NO. The .22 Muzzle Velocity (ft/s) is 1255. The .44 Muzzle Velocity (ft/s) is 1760. The 44 is 505 ft/s faster than the 22. The amount if air to be pushed out the barrel of 22 would not slow down the bullet down that much.
What is 22 cal SUBSONIC?
It is a bullet for a .22 caliber rifle which is very quiet as the bullet travels slower than the speed of sound
How fast does a 22 cal magnum bullet fly?
600 mph
What size bullet does a jc Higgins 22 cal S LR take?
22. cal bullets bro its pretty self explainatory
How powerful is 10-22 bullet?
It fires a 22LR projectile. "Power" will depend on bullet weight and velocity.
What is the velocity of a 22 magnum bullet?
About 2,200 fps for a 30 grain.
What is the difference between the muzzle velocity of a 17 caliber bullet a 22 long rifle bullet a 22 magnum bullet?
22LR high velocity - MV= 1260 fps 17 HMR MV= 2550 fps A lot faster, huh?
How do you take a bullet out of a ak 47 22 cal?
Best left to a gunsmith
