This is more a ballistics question than a health question, even if it does involve the negative health effects of a bullet in the body.

As far as ballistics go, Newtons first law states that an object will maintain it's movement (or nonmovement) unless another force is applied to it. In other words, inertia.

Due to the bullet being stagnant, the most obvious and profound movement will come from another bullet precisely aimed at the stagnant bullet. Maybe you poked your finger where you shouldn't have and moved it? Maybe there was a severe infection, and the force of the explosion of puss caused movement?

Whichever way, a stagnant bullet won't move of its own accord, and medically speaking, we should avoid, as much as possible, in leaving stagnant bullets in our bodies.

What tool do they us to find bullets in a person's body?

Doctors use medical imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans to locate bullets in a person's body. These imaging tools help identify the exact location of the bullets and assess any potential damage they may have caused.


Are surface waves higher or lower frequency than body waves?

Surface waves have lower frequency than body waves. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and cause the ground to shake in a rolling motion, while body waves travel through the Earth's interior and can travel at higher frequencies.


Does electrcity travel through your body?

Yes, electricity can travel through your body if you come into contact with an electrical source. This can happen when you touch a live wire or an electrically charged object. The electrical current can flow through your body and cause injury or harm.


What are the characteristics of body waves?

Body waves are seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior. They include Primary (P-waves), which are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and Secondary (S-waves), which are shear waves that only travel through solids. Body waves are responsible for the initial shaking felt during an earthquake.


Why radiation is not good for us?

Because a dose greater than 6 Gy to the whole body are generally not treatable and usually lead to death within two days to two weeks.With Gy of course refering to a unit called gray which is used to measure the amount of absorbed radiation. ============================= Radiation is like bullets. Just like bullets the radiations also pierce through your flesh causing damages to wherever it passes through. And like poison laced bullets can cause damages to the rest of your body which we refer to as cancer. But you wont be able to see this as these bullets are too small to be seen by the naked eye. They are composed of alpha beta and gamma radiations. Read about them as well.

Does the bullets in Normandie could really penetrate in the water like in ''Saving Private Ryan'' movie?

bullets do not go far after being fired into water.............and are unlikely to penetrate a body after couple of feet into water....Most bullets will shatter after going a few inches into the water, however, if they are already slowed down enough, they could go through the water and kill someone.

Do ak 47 bullets travel end over end?

The short answer is no. The AK47 (or AKM) is not the most accurate of weapons, but this is to do with the horrendous muzzle climb and recoil experienced in fully automatic mode. However, the bullets will yaw when striking a human target, which means that after impact they spin and deflect around the body and create very large wounds.
