Yes, it could. If the bullet doesn't fit the bore properly, it could bounce around, which could result in damage to the barrel, as well as the projectile getting stuck in the barrel. On top of that, the cartridge won't achieve proper headspace in the chamber. This could result in a catastrophic failure of the firearm, which in turn could result in injury or death to the firer. NEVER use ammunition in a firearm other than what it's intended to use.
What else can I help you with?
Your gun has jammed how do you get the bullet out?
VERY CAREFULLY! Open the action of the firearm. If possible, remove the barrel of a handgun , or remove the receiver of a rifle. Using a wooden dowel that is smaller than the bore, insert the dowel in through the muzzle of the barrel, and TAP the dowel to push the bullet back to the receiver end of the barrel. Avoid using a metal rod; you don't want to damage the lands and grooves of the barrel's rifling.
A customer lodged a lead bullet in a barrel by using the wrong caliber?
Is there a question there? If you are asking what to do, the best thing is probably to have a gunsmith remove it.
How do you remove a misfire from a semi auto pistol barrel?
A misfire is a cartridge that fails to fire- at all. Operating the action of the pistol by hand will normally extract the misfired cartridge. However, if you are using misfire to mean a "squib" load, that is different. A squib happens when the primer fires, but ignites none or only a small amount of the powder- and the bullet is pushed out into the barrel- and stops there. THAT needs to go to a gunsmith, who will use non-damaging tools to push the bullet back down the barrel and out. Do NOT attempt to shoot a stuck bullet out of the barrel- will not end well.
What do you do in a squib-fire?
first: if it is a squib problem, don't fire again. On squib fired round it is indicative of not enough or no powder in the cartridge. The bullet is stuck in barrel. Open the cylinder (revolver) and remove all shell cases. then using a brass rod (not steel) proceed to tap the bullet head out of the barrel. Tap from muzzel to rear. The same for an automatic. remove magazine. Disassemble the pistol. Proceed to tap the bullet out of the barrel with a brass rod (not steel) taping from muzzel to rear...............
What is the bullet drop for a 180 grain bullet shot from a super red hawk with a 9.5 inch barrel and a suggested O in range for a scoped?
The bullet drop will vary based on factors such as caliber, muzzle velocity, and distance to the target. For a 180 grain bullet shot from a Super Red Hawk with a 9.5 inch barrel, using a scope for sighting can help improve accuracy and account for bullet drop at longer ranges. It is recommended to zero the scope at a specific distance (e.g., 100 yards) to minimize bullet drop over different distances.
How does a firearm work?
The basics: you activate the trigger, the hammer strikes the firing pin, the firing pin strikes the primer on the cartridge, the bullet is propelled down the barrel and goes to wherever the sights were aimed the instant the shot broke.
Will using a rifled choke in a smooth bore barrel with rifled slugs cause any damage?
Needs to be checked out by a good gunsmith
A bullet leaves a rifle at a speed of 1100 ft per second the barrel of the gun is 2.10 ft long What was the acceleration of the bullet inside the barrel of the gun?
There is no single answer to this question. It will depend on the cartridge, and the characteristics of the powder and bullet being fired. For instance, the 40 gr 22 Long Rifle cartridge accelerates from the moment of firing, until it travels about 12 inches. The gas produced by firing reaches it's max expansion, and the bullet now begins to SLOW to some degree from friction with the barrel. Acceleration is NOT uniform with any firearm cartridge- if graphed it would be a curve with a very sharp spike.
Why do guns explode?
Most frequent reason for a gun exploding is a blocked barrel. A bullet is pushed by high pressure gas (40,000 to 60,000 PSI is common), and that gas needs to escape. A blockage stops the bullet, making it an effective cork. Pressure escapes wherever there is less resistance. Other causes include excessive powder charges, incorrect powder type, metal failure due to internal defects or corrosion, and using wrong ammunition.
What does a Bullet Ant Eat?
Bullet ants are omnivores, feeding on a diet of nectar, fruits, and small insects. They are known to forage on the forest floor for food and are also capable of hunting down prey using their powerful mandibles.
Can people reflect a bullet?
A person can reflect a bullet by using a mirror.
How is gunpowder put in the bullets?
Gunpowder is not put in bullets- it is put in a cartridge case. It is measured, poured into the case, and then the bullet (part that comes out of the barrel) is pressed into the mouth of the cartridge case, and the case is crimped to hold the bullet in place. This is done using a tool called a loading press and a loading die.
