a s.w.50 caliber or ( special weapons ) also known as the snipers weapon and is about 5.45" in length, either it has a red, black, silver or blue tip

That really didn't answer the question. Here is what you need to consider when trying to answer this question. #1 What is the weight of the bullet? If you're talking about a 750 grain .50 BMG, then it would not travel very far. Is this a Beowulf .50 cal or a Browning Machine Gun .50 cal? You can get exterior ballistics software on-line to calculate exactly what your looking for.

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.


How fast does a 50 caliber bullet travel?

Velocity of .50 BMG (Browining Machine Gun, 660 gr to 720 gr bullet weights ) projectile within 20 feet of the muzzle will between 2750 and 2850 feet per second, depending upon the cartride.It depends on the weight and shape of the bullet, as well as the amount of powder used, but a good average would be from 2800 feet per second to a little over 3000 feet per second when shot from a rifle. There have been reports of greater speeds (in the 4000 to 5000 fps range) perhaps with sabot rounds.


How far will a .243 caliber rifle bullet travel?

The velocity of a bullet is dependent on many factors. The amount and type of propellant affect velocity, as does the barrel length. The Springfield 30-06 with a 180 grain bullet can have a velocity of 820 meters per second based on a 60 centimeter barrel - again dependent on powder charge and type.


Would a lighter or heavier bullet travel farther than the other?

A lighter bullet tends to have a higher velocity and flatter trajectory, which can result in longer range compared to a heavier bullet with the same muzzle energy. However, heavier bullets often have better external ballistics, such as higher ballistic coefficients, which can help them maintain velocity and energy at longer distances, potentially traveling farther. Ultimately, factors like bullet design, velocity, and aerodynamics play a significant role in determining which bullet travels farther.


Is a bullet leaving a muzzle at it's full speed?

No, a bullet does not reach its full speed immediately upon leaving the muzzle. It needs time to accelerate due to the forces acting on it like wind resistance and gravity. The bullet will gradually reach its maximum velocity as it travels through the air.

How much time in seconds does it take a 45 caliber bullet to travel 7 yards?

Assuming you mean the standard 230 grain .45 auto cartridge- bullet travels 830 feet in one second. So it would be 21/830ths of one second- or about 0.025 seconds. Faster than you can blink- and THAT is a relatively slow bullet.


Can a 40 bullet fit 32 gun?

If you mean a .40 caliber bullet in a .32 caliber gun- no. The bullet would be 8 thousandths of inch too large to fit in the gun. Caliber refers to the diameter of the bullet, so a .40 caliber bullet is ABOUT .40 inches across, and a .32 bullet ABOUT .32 inches across.


What is bigger 7.62 mm bullet or 50 caliber bullet?

If you shot a 50 caliber bullet at a 7.62mm bullet and they hit dead on, you prbly wouldn't even know the 7.62mm bullet exsisted because the 50 caliber bullet would sh!t f*ck the 7.62mm bullet , short answer- 50 cal. Look up a ammo size comparison chart

That would depend on the caliber, and type of bullet, the rifle uses.

Can a snake bite the fired bullet from a firearm?

No, there is no snake fast enough to strike at a bullet. If it did, it would die.


Who makes 50 grain .45 caliber ammo?

No one. A standard .45 ACP bullet is about 230 grains. A .45 caliber bullet that only weighed 50 grains would merely be a very thin disk of lead.


How many seconds does it take for a bullet to travel 6 ft?

It depends on the bullet in question. Each caliber has a different velocity, that affects the amount of time it takes to move a certain speed. On average.... I'd say it would take between 1/18th and 1/10th of a second.


How far would a bullet penetrate water before it stops in water?

you can protect yourself from a bullet by diving underwater. If the shooter were directly overhead, you would probably be safe from most guns at 8 ft. At a 30 degree angle, you would only have to be 3 ft underwater to be safe.


What caliber is the caliber of a 9mm?

9 millimeter is the caliber. IMPROVING ANSWER: A "9mm" bullet is actually .355 or .356 of an inch in diameter. So the caliber is about .36, but nobody calls it that because it would be confusing. Everybody calls it a 9mm and if somebody asks you what "caliber" that pistol is, you can answer "It's a 9mm" without having to add or explain anything. further improve: 9mm is the correct answer. you can find the caliber by measuring the diameter of the bullet. translate to millimeters or inches and that's the caliber. 9mm is a 9mm caliber not "around .36"


What caliber is a 14.5 mm?

14.5mm would be the caliber. The actual bullet diameter of the 14.5x114 cartridge is 14.88mm, which translates to .586 inches, so, if it could be and were marketed on the US civil market, it would probably be marketed as something like .58 caliber or such.


What caliber of bullet has killed more people than any other?

I would say either the 5.56mm or the 7.62mm.
