How fast is the fastest moving bullet go?

The fastest moving bullet can travel at speeds of around 4,000 feet per second (1,219 meters per second) for certain rifle bullets. These high velocities allow the bullet to cover a mile in less than two seconds.


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.


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


If you throw a bullet into a fire and it goes off will it travel far?

No. It depends upon the bullet of course, but a handgun bullet usually won't hurt you if it hits you under those conditions. Another answer: Depends on the cartridge: Remember that this is deadly because the bullet and cartridge will go in opposite directions at great speeds. The larger the bullet and powder will determine the velocity and distance.


How fast does a bullet travel in space?

To figure this out first fire the bullet in a place with zero air on earth and see how fast it goes. The ratio between airless earth-speed and airless space-speed would be the same as the ratio between the bullet's and rifle's(As well as the casing combined with the shooter. Both of these are in a sense part of the rifle temporarily) masses. The bullet would travel slower because the rifle and shooter weigh nothing and therefore offers no solid point for the bullet to push off of. [example] * Bullet mass: Shooter+Rifle+casing mass = 1:100 [example] now take this ratio and make it a fraction... (1/100). *Subtract (1/100)th of the airless earth speed and the remainder will be your space speed. *subtract (99/100) from the original earth speed and you would get how fast you would fly backwards when firing the weapon in space. lol no joke the bullets explosion will move YOU because YOU are weightless. * If you stood on your space ship with magnetic boots and fired the bullet straight above your head, then the bullet would travel faster because the ship is now added to the rifles mass.
