The pressure required to ignite a bullet primer typically ranges from 25,000 to 35,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure is generated by the firing pin striking the primer cup, causing it to crush the priming compound and ignite, subsequently firing the cartridge.

If you drop a bullet and it hits the ground will it explode?

No, a dropped bullet will not explode upon hitting the ground. The impact may cause the bullet to deform or potentially discharge if it is struck in a specific way, but it will not explode like a firework.


When a rifle is fired how does the size of the force of the rifle on the bullet compare with the force of the bullet on the rifle how does the acceleration of the rifle compare with that of the bullet?

The force of the rifle on the bullet and the force of the bullet on the rifle are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, according to Newton's third law of motion. However, the mass of the rifle is much larger than the mass of the bullet, so the acceleration of the rifle is much smaller compared to the acceleration of the bullet.


How much does a .380 bullet weigh?

A typical .380 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) bullet weighs around 90-100 grains. However, bullet weight can vary depending on the specific type of ammunition and manufacturer.


Can a bullet be shot down with another bullet?

If you have incredible aim and like lightening fast reflexes, then i guess its possible, but i would say its pretty much impossible, or you would have to get like 1 and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 lucky to stop a bullet with another bullet


Does a380 bullet have the same stopping power of a 9mm bullet?

No, an A380 bullet is significantly larger and more powerful than a 9mm bullet. The A380 bullet is typically used in aircraft cannons and has much greater stopping power due to its higher velocity and larger size.

How much is the momentum needed to fire a 9mm bullet?

Usually just a primer will get it partway down the barrel.


Why is the barrel of a gun highly polished from inside?

In order to reduce friction it is important that the inside of the barrel be highly polished. Also the gas pressure (from the explosion of the charge) on the bullet is what drives the bullet and in order to maximize the pressure there cannot be much gas leakage areound the bullet in the barrel....so the bullet can slide through quicker, easier, and smoother.


How much is the pressure as bullet comes out of a gun?

Depends on the gun. A .22 will have very different pressures from a 30-06.

How much propellent powder is in a 9 mm primer?

None. A primer does not contain propellant powder- it contains an explosive that ignites the powder. If you mean how much propellant powder is in a 9mm cartridge, that will depend on which 9mm cartridge (there are nearly a dozen different 9mms) which weight bullet, and which powder. My basic reload data table for 9mm Parabellum (9mm Luger) is 3 pages of data with different powders, bullets, etc. A basic load is 4.5 grains of Bullseye powder with a 115 grain bullet.

What was a luger bullet made of in 1914?

Pretty much what they are made of today. The term you want, though, is probably cartridge. That consists of a brass cartridge case. That holds the primer at the rear center, and is filled with gunpowder. The bullet (the projectile that comes out of the barrel) is made of lead, covered in a layer of copper/nickel jacketing metal.


What does rimfire and centerfire mean?

A centrefire cartridge has a primer centred at the rear of the casing. This primer contains a charge which is ignited when the primer is struck (normally by a firing pin, though some guns will have the pin integral with the hammer), and this ignites the gunpowder whidh propels the bullet forward. Rimfire guns work in pretty much the same fashion, except that they don't use primers. Rather, the priming charge is packed into the rim of the cartridge.


How much primer for 800 sq ft of new drywall?

About 3-4 gallons of primer. Don't be stingy with it. Better primer coat improves your finish coat and primer is cheap.


How to work gun?

It is amazing that anything is able to silence a gun, but gun silencers actually work on a v­ery simple principle.Imagine a balloon. If you pop a balloon with a pin, it will make a loud noise. But if you were to untie the end of the balloon and let the air out slowly, you could pop it making very little noise. That is the basic idea behind a gun silencer.To fire a bullet from a gun, gunpowder is ignited behind thebullet. The gunpowder creates a high-pressure pulse of hot gas. The pressure of the gas forces the bullet down the barrel of the gun. When the bullet exits the end of the barrel, it is like uncorking a bottle. The pressure behind the bullet is immense, however -- on the order of 3,000 pounds per square inch (psi) -- so the POP that the gun makes as it is uncorked ­is extremely loud.A silencer screws on to the end of the barrel and has a huge volume compared to the barrel (20 or 30 times greater). With the silencer in place, the pressurized gas behind the­ bullet has a big space to expand into. So the pressure of the hot gas falls significantly. When the bullet finally exits through the hole in the silencer, the pressure being uncorked is much, much lower -- perhaps 60 psi. Therefore, the sound of the gun firing is much softer.Several alert readers have written to point out that a bullet that travels at supersonic speeds cannot be silenced because the bullet creates its own little sonic boom as it travels. Many high-powered loads travel at supersonic speeds. The silencer can remove the "uncorking" sound, but not the sound of the bullet's flight.
