gunpowder burns creating great heat , air pressure increases proportionally , and, like an air rifle, immense pressure creates force on back of slug accelerating it along the tightly fitting gun barrel. Imagine say 20g slug accelerated (assume uniformly) to 2000m/s in 10cm of gun barrel and calculate average force required to do it , this being testimony to gunpowder's tremendous potential energy.
What else can I help you with?
How fast can a bullet go in mph?
The speed that a bullet travels depends on the weight of the bullet. For example a bullet for a Magnum .357 made by Federal's American Eagle with a 158gr JSP load can travel at a speed of 1351 km/h.
Why won't this apex magnum muzzle loader shoot right bullet 's all over the place even after cleaning after each shot?
It sounds like a bullet problem, but start with the basics first. Try a lighter powder load, you may be over charging the bullet weight or type of bullet, (pushing the bullet out too fast) If you are using a sabot with a plastic base it may not begrabbing the rifling in the barrel and thus not imparting a spin on the bullet. Second could be the bullet/sabot itself, it may be ever so slightly too small and have the same effect of not grabbing the rifling in the barrel. Try another brand of bullet with a bit heavier grain weight or another sabot size (you may have to psychically measure the sabots) If you are not using sabots then go with another brand of bullet that is larger than what you use now, (even though the stated diameter may be the same, say .490 they can vary enough from brand to brand to make a difference) Try those and if you still get the same result we can go deeper into the technical aspects.
Why would a bullet pierce a mirror without breaking it?
A bullet may pierce a mirror without breaking it if it hits the mirror at a very acute angle or if the mirror is made of toughened material that can absorb the impact without shattering. The angle of impact and the velocity of the bullet both play a role in determining whether the mirror breaks or not.
How fast does a bullet go fired from a 12 gauge shot gun?
Depends on the specific loading, but muzzle velocity is ABOUT 1000 to 1100 Feet per second.
Do bullets go through metal?
(by some one else) Yes, depending on caliber and kenetic energy. ( inprovings by cassandra) plus it depends on what kind of gun your using and if your putting the gun right tords the concrete or away. haha that simple now trie to explaine a little mutch better, on what your talking about. pleace
Why does a gun not recoil just as fast as the speed of the bullet?
because the recoil is when the bullet forces the gun back and so the bullet creates the recoil and so it can't make it go just as fast
How fast can a bullet go?
rilly fast
What makes a bullet train go so fast?
The primary thing that makes a bullet train go so fast is its low friction and aerodynamic design. Some even use magnets to allow them to float in the air for more speed.
How fast can the french bullet train go?
187
Why is the AK47 twist rate so fast?
in order for the bullet to go a certain speed it needs a certain amount of twist to it. also so it can go farther.
How fast does semen go?

How fast dose the bullet train go?
217 Mph
How fast does a biathlon bullet go?
5 seconds a meter.
How fast can a 30-30 rifle bullet go?

Why are bullet trains so fast?
A bullets trains goes fast because of the streamlines in the air.
Fow fast does a bullet from a ak-47 go?
1776mph over 2000fps
How fast can a mp40 bullet go?
An MP40's muzzle velocity (speed of a bullet upon exiting the barrel) is about 1,250 feet/second.
