This choice is made by the manufacturer, it is not invariant. Even in the 1930s; and no doubt before; cap guns used to have a roll of percussion caps to allow repeated firing.

Do you get a year in prison for every bullet in your gun?
No.
Is the force of a gun the same as the force of the bullet coming out the gun?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Does a rifle need bullets or gun powder?
All firearms need: A projectile such as a bullet, gun powder to propel the bullet out of the barrel of the gun, and a cartridge to hold them together. Gun powder only explodes and the force from the explosion propels the bullet out of the barrel, basically. The cartridge is disposed of thereafter. A bullet will not move unless the gunpowder behind it explodes. This is the basic operation of a firearm/rifle.
Can you shot a bullet with no gun?
Yes, a bullet can be shot with no gun. A bullet does not need a lot of speed to kill someone. Say someone threw a bullet to the ground, it might bounce back up and hit you, thus causing you to die or be injured
When a gun is firedwhy it recoils?
Newton's Law- for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the bullet is pushed forward out of the barrel, then the gun is pushed back by an equal amount. That is recoil, or "kick". The amount is based on the weight and speed of the bullet, and the weight of the gun. All things being equal, a light bullet kicks less than a heavy bullet, and a heavy gun kicks less than a lighweight gun.
Why does a gun jerk when you fire a bullet?
When a bullet is fired from a gun, it creates a sudden release of gases that exert a force on the gun's barrel and action system. This force, known as recoil, causes the gun to jerk backward in the opposite direction of the bullet's motion. The jerk is a result of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
How the velocity of recoil of a gun fire is 1'100 times the velocity of bullet if mass of a gun is 100 times of mass of bullet?
Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The action is pushing the bullet in one direction. Reaction is the gun being pushed in the other. The energy is speed times mass. The gun masses much more than the bullet, and so will move proportionately slower than the bullet. Which is a very good thing- or the recoil of the gun would kill the shooter.
Which wave is formed when a bullet fired from a gun?
=it is newtons third law of motion which states=="for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"==when a gun is fired the bullet moves in the forward direction which is action whereas the gun recoils in the backward direction which is the reaction......................=
How are Newton's laws applied when a bullet is fired from a gun which recoils?
The law that says every action has an equal and oppsite reaction: the momentum of the bullet is balanced by the equal momentum of the gun (and shooter) in the opposite direction - the recoil.
Why does my shotgun shot a bullet every other time?
Because that was the way it was loaded into the gun, shot charge, bullet charge, shot charge, bullet charge. If you load it that way, it will shoot that way.
Why does the bullet and gun have different acceleration?
The gun weighs MUCH more than the bullet.
Which has more momentum a train at rest or a bullet fired from a gun?
A bullet fired from a gun
