Can you give a sentence for the word rifle?

As a noun: I took my new rifle to the firing range to try it out. As a verb: I had to rifle through all of the drawers to find that receipt.


To check for bullet diameter. how do you slug a bore?

have a gunsmith do this, push a slug of close dia through the rifle, and micrometer the bullet. this will give the true bore size.


Give a short example of equal and opposite pairs?

Perhaps forces.When you fire a gun, you have an explosion of gunpowder that ejects the bullet forward at a high velocity. The gun kicks back in an opposite direction from the firing with a force equal to that which expelled the bullet, but in the opposite direction.Another example might be ice skating (without braking). If one person pushes the other backward... the pushing person will also be pushed backward with equal force. Acceleration/velocity, of course would be dependent on the relative weights.


Why did August kottler name the rifle the rifle?

From the German word "riffeln" meaning "groove" - the barrel of a rifle has internal grooves to give the bullet spin, which helps it fly straight and deviate less from where it is aimed.

What is the bullet drop of a 22 cal long rifle?

There too many variables to give one answer- the drop is not even over distance, since the bullets begin to slow quite a bit at distances greater than 150 yards, It will vary depending on the speed of the bullet- and that varies by make, by bullet weight, and whether fired from a rifle, pistol, or revolver. When zeroed for 100 yards ,the trajectory of the standard high-velocity .22 LR with a 40-grain bullet has a 2.7-inch rise at 50 yards , and 10.8 inches drop at 150 yards .


How does the acceleration of the bullet compare with the acceleration of the rifle?

Both objects accelerate, however due to Newton's 2nd law the acceleration of the rifle is less due to it's higher mass. Newton's second law F = ma In your question the force (F) would be the same on both objects, but the mass (m) would be different and give a different answer for acceleration (a). This difference can be seen by looking at the effect of being on opposite sides of the rifle (ie kickback vs bullet hole)


What can kill a black bear?

Humans and grizzly bears, primarily. Humans are a black bear's enemies. A grizzly bear may even kill a black bear of these two species crossed paths and happened to be competing for the same food or carcass as the other.


Which will give a lesser recoil on a pistol..an ammunition with a heavier bullet or a lighter bullet?

light


Can you neck down a bullet casing so it can hold a different size of bullet and still shoot it from the same gun?

Rather silly question. You could, but you wouldn't accomplish anything except maybe hurting yourself. Barrels and bullets are matched in sized for a reason...so the bullet makes contact with the rifling to achieve spin which stabilizes the bullet when fired. The bullet must also form a "seal" in the barrel so that the gas from the burning propellant will push the bullet out of the barrel to achieve proper velocity. Why in the world would you ever even consider that? the .243 Winchester is a necked-down .308 Winchester, but you shoot it from a rifle chambered for .243. If you want to shoot a smaller bullet out of a particular rifle, you get a smaller grain weight of bullet. This will give you higher velocity but lower impact energy and lower felt recoil. As a side note, there is ammunition that uses plastic sabot's to allow a shooter to fire sub-caliber ammunition in a rifle. This is factory loaded ammo not basement reloader stuff. It was marketed under the "Accelerator" name. The 30-06 ammo used a 55 grain .223 bullet and achieved ridiculous velocities of over 4000fps.


How do you sight in a rifle scope for 200 yards when you only have 100 yards to shoot?

This should not pose to much of a problem as long as you have the caliber of the bullet,the muzzle velocity, and the BC (ballistic coeffiecent).If you are shooting factory ammo all this info and bullet drop tables can be found on the back of the ammo box in some cases.If this is not listed then you will need to shoot your ammo over a bullet chronograph and find out the muzzle velocity of the bullet in feet per second (FPS).This will determine the amount of hold over at 100yrds so the bullet will impact at point of aim at 200yrds.If you are willing to give me the cartridge you are shooting and bullet weight,I have the bullet tables to tell you how high to place the bullet at 100yrds so you have a dead on impact at 200yrds.
