How far will a 40 caliber bullet travel after it hits it target?
It depends on several factors, but "about a mile" is a good average.
What does a 25 caliber bullet do to the body?
It disrupts the integrity of what it hits.
Is a 9mm a good defence gun?
this is very controversial subject my father believes a 9mm is a great defense weapon. the problem i have with this caliber is that it velocity is to fast, this means the bullet has the opportunity to travel straight through the target and hit what ever is behind the target. a 45 is slower and heavier bullet. this means that when the bullet hits the target, it delivering all of its kinetic energy when it hits the target. Allowing the shooter to use one bullet rather than 2 or 3 bullets from the 9mm The 9 mm is good for killing from a long distance, but yea if your getting attacked an you shoot the attacker it will take him down.
What is the projectile part of the cartridge that hits the target called?
The projectile is called a bullet.
Can a 22LR caliber bullet kill someone?
It all depends on the hit. Some hits, it can. Others, it won't.
Does the spiraling barrel of an m-16 cause the bullet to tumble?
This spiraling is called rifling. This imparts a stabilizing spin to a projectile. The M16 has a very tight spiral, but the bullet shouldn't tumble until it hits a target. If you picture a bullet, when the narrow tip first hits a target, it will cause the rest of the bullet to tumble, end over end, and often fragment as well.
How is the force of gravitation counteracted by firing a gun?
It isn't.Gravity is always acting on the bullet, from the time it rests on the breech to the time it hits target, and every point in between.At the beginning of its motion, the bullet has velocity in a particular direction. Gravity accelerates the bullet 'downwards' and alters the velocity at each point in time and space. Eventually, the combination of the previous motion and the present velocity makes it strike a target, at which point forces in the target and bullet result in all motion ceasing, and these forces become balanced.
Can a 54 caliber shoot 50 caliber?
I havenever heard of a .54 cal but no, a bullet that will not stay in place for the striking pin will not fire, DO NOT TRY IT, if by some off chance that the striking pin hits the firing cap then the bullet has already started its trajectory at an angle and will probably damage the gun and yourself, it will be hard to find but you may be able to find a a saboe for that caliber, but you may just want to go buy some .54 cal ammo...
What type of weapons were used to train bomber gunners?
Shotguns, using "clay pigeons" used in skeet and trap- to teach the concept of "leading" a moving target. Belt fed .30 caliber machine guns, using a frangible, nonmetalic bullet- used to fire at an armored fighter that had devices to sense and record hits. .50 caliber Browning machine guns- the standard WW 2 gun of a US bomber gunner.
Can a slug bullet kill you?
Yes, any bullet can kill you. The amount of damage a bullet does depends on several factors, basically: where it hits you, how hard it hits you, and how big the bullet is (or how much it expands).
Can a magnet deflect a sniper rifle bullet?
No, not even a rare earth magnet could deter the path of a high velocity bullet. If the bullet hits the magnet then in would go in to a depth depending on caliber and range then stop just like if it hit any metal. Most bullets are made of lead and copper, and are not affected by magnets.
How far will a .243 caliber rifle bullet travel?
The velocity of a bullet is dependent on many factors. The amount and type of propellant affect velocity, as does the barrel length. The Springfield 30-06 with a 180 grain bullet can have a velocity of 820 meters per second based on a 60 centimeter barrel - again dependent on powder charge and type.
