Are you shooting it while in space or from outside space to inside space? Well the bullet wouldn't stop until it hit a gravitational pull and it would get drawn in. You would also get blown back by the force.
Very few firearms would fire in the vacuum of space. Oxygen is necessary for ignition, and bullets are not sealed; any oxygen contained within the cartridge is likely to leak out with exposure to the vacuum.
The US did develop one family of firearms that would fire in vacuum, the Gyrojet. Gyrojets were built in different calibers and configurations. There were pistols and rifles. Essentially, the Gyrojet fired a small rocket with a gas propellant, that ignited within 30 feet of the barrel. There was very little if any recoil, and the effective range was greater that a conventional powder round.
What else can I help you with?
Is it possible to shoot a bullet into space from the ground on earth?
No, it is not possible to shoot a bullet into space from the ground on Earth. Bullets fired from firearms do not have enough velocity to escape Earth's gravity and reach space. Additionally, there are aerodynamic forces, air resistance, and other factors that would prevent a bullet from traveling to space.
How fast would a .50 cal bullet Travel if Shot in Space?
The bullet will travel as fast as it would on earth (possibly a little faster, due to the lack of air resistance in the barrel). Once it left the barrel, it would continue with the same speed until slowed by gravity, or it entered a planetary atmosphere- or hit something.
Can you shoot a bullet in outer space?
Yes, a bullet can be shot in outer space because guns rely on internal mechanisms to fire bullets, rather than external oxygen or air. However, the bullet would travel indefinitely until acted upon by another force, as there is no atmosphere in space to slow it down or change its trajectory.
Does a sling shot work in space?
No, a sling shot would not work in space because there is no air resistance to propel the ammunition forward. Without air molecules to push against, the sling shot would not generate the force needed to launch the projectile.
What would happen if you shot a gun in space?
It is impossible as there is no oxygen available for the powder to ignite. However, assuming you had it in some magic bubble of atmosphere and that seamlessly met space, the bullet would continue until it hit something or it encountered gravity. That would pull it off its straight trajectory. The bullet should not slow down as there is no friction of resistance of the atmosphere as there is on earth. You could also conclude that, because Newton's 3rd law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, you would go shooting backwards at an exponential speed. Then when it falls back to a planet (assuming the planet has life) It would come down so incredibly hard it would not only kill what it hits but it would probably create a crater in the location of where it hit causing either a world catastrophe or a minor news story.

How would you prevent a bullet wound?
By not getting shot
Why does bullit travel slow in space?
It doesn't. if a bullet were shot from earth into space and had enough acceleration to pull away from earth's gravity, it would travel indefinitely until hitting an object.
If a bullet is shot on the moon and another shot on earth which would travel farthest?
if you really need this you are an idiot but it is the moon
If you shot a gun is space would the bullet ever stop?
Outer space is not TOTALLY empty- simply CLOSE to empty. The space between stars has a tiny amount of dust and a few atoms of hydrogen. Eventually the bullet would hit something, or be slowed by friction. May take a few million years to do that......
Will a shot bullet land at the same time dropped bullet?
No, the shot bullet will land after the dropped bullet. This is because the shot bullet has an initial horizontal velocity in addition to the vertical acceleration due to gravity, while the dropped bullet only has the vertical acceleration due to gravity.
Why will you never survive from a head shot?
It is possible to survive a gun shot to the head. It would depend which route the bullet took.
If i shot a bullet into the sky and it came down where I stood would it kill me?
It would kill you although the chances of a bullet returning to earth at the precise spot you fired from would be very unlikely.
Can a bullet shot from a musket at close range set something on fire?
Yes it would.
Would Superman die if he got shot in the eye?
Only if the bullet was made of Kryptonite.
