What else can I help you with?
Where is the bore of a firearm located?
The end of the barrel where the projectile leaves the barrel on firing.
What factor affects a firearm's maximum projectile range?
The weight and shape of the bullet, the speed at which the bullet leaves the gun, and the degree of tilt of the barrel above the horizontal.
What is muzzle velocity?
Muzzle velocity refers to the speed at which a projectile leaves the barrel of a firearm or weapon when fired. It is measured in feet per second or meters per second and plays a significant role in determining the effectiveness and range of a weapon.
How is muzzle velocity measured?
Muzzle velocity is typically measured using a chronograph, which is a device that calculates the speed of a projectile as it leaves the muzzle of a firearm. The chronograph works by measuring the time it takes for the projectile to pass through two sensors a known distance apart, allowing for the calculation of the velocity.
In Texas is a blackpowder rifle a firearm?
If it uses gunpowder to launch a projectile it is considered a firearm
What are the 3 types of ballistics?
The three types of ballistics are internal ballistics (study of the behavior of a projectile inside a firearm), external ballistics (study of the projectile's flight path after it leaves the barrel), and terminal ballistics (study of the effects of a projectile on its target upon impact).
Projectile is travelling at 1429 fts. What is the speed of this projectile in kmh?
The speed of the projectile is 974.15 km/h.
Is a slingshot a firearm?
No. "Firearm" is defined basically as a small arms weapon, as a rifle or pistol, from which a projectile is fired by gunpowder. A slingshot is a weapon, but not a firearm.
Which factor has a significant impact on a firearm maximum projectile range?
velocity
At what part of the trajectory does a projectile have minimum speed?
A projectile has minimum speed at the top of the trajectory.
Why are BB guns not so loud?
They propel their projectile by a different means than an actual firearm does. BB and pellet guns use air or spring propulsion, whereas a firearm's projectile is propelled by detonation.
When you pull a slingshot further back than before then you increase what two things on the projectile that leaves the slingshot?
When you pull a slingshot further back, you increase the potential energy and the velocity of the projectile that leaves the slingshot. The potential energy increases as you stretch the slingshot further, and this energy is converted into kinetic energy that propels the projectile with greater speed.
