You probably couldn't shoot a bullet through a tornado, mostly because of the massive wind speeds that will turn the bullet off-course, and the fact that there is so much stuff flying through the air, that the bullet will hit something and stop.

How do you shoot a bullet without a gun?

A cartridge will ignite if the primer is struck, regardless of whether it is in a gun at the time.


If you shot a bullet in to the air could the bullet kill you on its way down?

Yes, a bullet shot into the air can come down with enough force to cause serious injury or death. This is known as a "falling bullet" or "stray bullet" phenomenon, and it is important to never shoot a firearm into the air as the bullet can still retain lethal velocity when descending.


How reduce velocity of bullet in air?

To reduce the velocity of a bullet in air, you can increase the drag force acting on the bullet by using a heavier or more aerodynamically shaped bullet, or by increasing the air density (e.g., shooting at higher altitudes). Additionally, you can decrease the initial muzzle velocity of the bullet by using a lower-powered cartridge or firearm.


How close do you have to be to a bullet to hear it go through the air?

Depends on the speed of the bullet, air temp and humidity. I hsve been about 6 feet from the path of a high powered rifle bullet, and you can hear the crack caused by the bullet breaking the sound barrier.


When a bullet is fired from a gun what happens to the energy released?

When a bullet is fired from a gun, the energy stored in the gunpowder is converted into kinetic energy that propels the bullet forward. The bullet carries this kinetic energy as it travels through the air until it hits a target or loses its energy through friction and air resistance.
