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).
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.
What is the difference between a 9mm bullet and a 45 cal bullet?
Generally speaking, the .45 caliber bullet is larger in diameter and heavier than a 9mm bullet.
Can you use the word rotate in a sentence?
Yes. You can use rotate in a sentence.Example: In order to rotate around in her chair, she had to move her books.
When a bullet is fired from a rifle does the bullet have a greater momentum and kinetic energy than the rifle?
The momenta of the rifle and the bullet are equal and opposite. The bullet has greater kinetic energy than the rifle.
What causes a bullet to rotate on exit?
What causes it to rotate is the rifling in the barrel. What causes it to continue to rotate after it leaves the barrel is centrifugal force.
What direction do you rotate the front sight of the M4 to move the strike of the bullet up?
clockwise

What does tumble mean from a gun shot wound?
It means the bullet began to rotate end-over-end through the wound channel.
What is the barrel twist rate for a Remington 30-06 model 7400?
The bullet will rotate one full turn in ten iches.
Does the m-16 bullet tumble?
Technically, it doesn't. Bullets that are stable in air may "tumble" in tissue, or they may not; and "tumbling" itself is generally a mis-statement of what happens. Generally speaking, when a long spitzer bullet hits tissue (long relative to a pistol bullet or a round ball), the center of pressure of the bullet will radically shift forward, to approximately 30% of the length of the ogive behind the point of the bullet; which for most bullets will be very far in front of the center of gravity (and thus the majority of the mass). Because of this, the base of the bullet will tend to rotate around the center of pressure, past the nose once, or at most twice (due to inertia and the initial shock of the wound); and then the bullet will travel base forward (being led by it's mass) until it comes to rest, or exits the body (when it generally WILL completely destabilize and actually tumble). If the bullet travels far enough in tissue (somewhere between 14" and 20" depending on the exact bullet, and the density of the tissue), it will tend to rotate back to point forward, and then to base forward again. That's not exactly tumbling; and it's certainly not "cutting through flesh like a buzz saw", or anything like it. Source: http://anarchangel.blogspot.com/2007/02/terminal-tumbling.html
What is the giant bullet bill from Mario's name?

What is an analogy that goes with bow and arrow?
Rifle and bullet (The bullet is dependent on the rifle to accomplish its purpose)
To turn on an axis?
It's rotate!
What the difference between a bullet and a rubber bullet?
None. A bullet is a bullet, regardless of what material it's made from.
What is a bullet casing?
When you shoot a bullet the bullet casing pos out through the ejector and that is where the bullet is and gunpowder to fire it.
How does the spiral barrel on a gun work?
If you mean the spiral grooves inside of a rifle barrel- those are the lands (high spots) and grooves (low spots) that make up rifling. The bullet, being softer than the steel of the barrel, is pushed into the rifling when fired. The lands cut into the outer edge of the bullet, gripping it, and causes the bullet to rotate with the spiral. This rotation causes the bullet to travel in a straight line as it passes through the air- and is much more accurate than a smoothbore (no rifling) barrel. Ever notice how a football spins when a pass is thrown? Same thing.
