Assuming the bullet is fired from a gun, the bullet will move out of the bore with a high velocity and will immediately begin falling and decelerating. If the bore is rifled, the bullet will also rotate on its long axis (providing stability in flight).

What is velocity of 22 cal bullet?

Depends on WHICH 22 cartridge, and whether fired from a rifle or a pistol. A .22 BB cap from a pistol may have a muzzle velocity of 700 feet per second. .22 LR may range from 1000 fps to 1750 fps. Rifles will have a higher velocity than a pistol. PS- not all .22 caliber bullets are fired from rimfire cartridges. I shoot a .220 Swift, a centerfire rifle. It uses a large cartridge, firing a small bullet- at over 4000 fps


Does the velocity of a 22 caliber bullet change with the length of the barrel?

Yes. The velocity of all common cartridges changes with the length of the barrel. In the case of a .22 LR, they develop the maximum velocity between 12 and 16 inches of barrel. Shorter than that, the gasses from the gunpowder have not accelerated the bullet as much as they can. Longer than that, gasses reached their max acceleration, and the bullet is now slowing from friction in the barrel.


What is the effective range of a 22 caliber bullet since 2000 yards is how far it travels how far can it travel before it can no longer penetrate a skull?

effective range is the distance where a skilled shooter can reliably hit a target. For 22 LR, that is about 135-150 yards. The distance at which it will no longer penetrate a skull has too many variables to give a simple answer. The bullet usually drops to below speed of sound by 100 yards, and is dropping velocity quickly after that. By 400 yards it would be unlikely to cause a serious wound.


What is the velocity of a 22 magnum bullet?

The velocity of a .22 Magnum bullet typically ranges from 1,500 to 2,000 feet per second (fps), depending on the specific load and barrel length.


If a person gets shot in the back with a 22caliber bullet will the bullet travel in the body?

it depends where, what angle . if the bullet is led no it will splatter on a bone but it might go in the tissue and it depends how far you are up close it will go right though you! but if you were standing on a 4 story building and a person shoots from the ground you, will be like a paint ball it depends where, what angle . if the bullet is led no it will splatter on a bone but it might go in the tissue and it depends how far you are up close it will go right though you! but if you were standing on a 4 story building and a person shoots from the ground you, will be like a paint ball
