When a rifle with a longer barrel is fired the force of expanding gases acts on the bullet for a longer distance what effect does this have on the velocity?
To a point, the velocity of the bullet will increase. However, at some point, the gasses driving the bullet have maxed out, and beyond that point, the bullet will begin to slow from friction with the barrel. For a .22 LR cartridge, that length is about 12 inches. Larger cartridges have a greater "Max velocity" length, but there is a point of no more gain, and the start of loss of velocity.
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.
How does the length of an object change as its velocity increases?
As an object's velocity increases, its length will not change. Length contraction is a concept in special relativity that refers to the shortening of an object in its direction of motion relative to an observer, but this effect is generally only significant at velocities close to the speed of light.
What is the muzzle velocity of the fnl 5.7x28?
The muzzle velocity of the FN 5.7x28mm cartridge is approximately 1,900 feet per second (580 meters per second) when fired from a standard length barrel.
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.
What is the Minimum legal length for a shotgun barrel in Virginia?
18" for shotguns
In general does a rifle have more ft lbs of energy when shot out of a bolt action or double barrel?
Energy is dependent upon velocity. Barrel length can have both a detrimental as well as an enhancing effect on velocity. If both firearms have the same barrel length and type of rifling - velocity will be close to the same and energy will therefore also be close to the same. This assumes identical cartridges.
Best barrel length for semi auto shotguns?
30 inches. A longer barrel gives you better accuracy.
How much for a Colt 20ga shotguns?
Need to know condition, barrel length and choke
What is the best barrel length and velocity calculator for optimizing firearm performance?
The best barrel length and velocity calculator for optimizing firearm performance is the JBM Ballistics Calculator. It allows users to input various factors such as barrel length, bullet weight, and muzzle velocity to determine the optimal combination for maximum performance.
Are short barrel shotguns legal in Colorado?
Federal law requires that a shotgun have a minimum barrel length of 18" and a minimum overall length of 28". Colorado law is not more restrictive.
How much does barrel length effect shotgun effective range with same choke and loads?
Small changes in length have little effect. Large changes have more effect. Longer barrels in hunting shotguns are used to control the swing of the gun while tracking birds rather than effective range considerations.

How does the length of a barrel affect the accuracy of the gun?
It may or may not depending on the projectile and velocity.
Does ading a longer barrel to a gun increase velocity of the fired projectiles?
Yes, but there is a point where the round reaches the max velocity it can achieve, and any extra barrel length past that point is a bit useless.
What is the minimum legal length of a handgun barrel?
In US law, there is no legal minimum for a handgun barrel- I have a Sedgely Baby Hammerless .22 Revolver with a 1 inch barrel. There IS a legal minimum (16") for rifles and shotguns (18")
What is the legal barrel length for shotguns in Arizona?
Itis illegal for a private citizen to possess a sawed-off modern smokeless powder shotgun (a barrel length less than 18 in. or 46 cm and an overall length less than 26 inches). \
