Technically, yes. There are many variables to consider though like recoil, wind resistance, the barrel of the weapon, etc. The Mythbusters actually did that test. You could probably find that video somewhere.

When a rifle is fired horizontally the bullet leaves the barrel and doesnt drop at all for the first 35 meters of flight Is this true?

No, this statement is not true. When a rifle is fired horizontally, the bullet immediately begins to drop due to gravity as soon as it leaves the barrel. The rate of drop will depend on the muzzle velocity of the bullet and the distance it has traveled.


A rifle is fired at a distant target and bullet is fired horizontally from a gun you drop a bullet from the height of the barrel if there ain't air resistance which bullet hits the ground 1st explain?

Both bullets would hit the ground at the same time, regardless of their initial velocities. This is due to the fact that in the absence of air resistance, the only force acting on the bullets is gravity, which causes all objects to fall at the same rate regardless of their mass or initial velocity.


Is the bullets button an on off toggle for the bullets feature?

Yes. It may also activate a drop-down where you can choose bullet style.


How fast does a bullet drop?

The speed at which a bullet drops due to gravity depends on multiple factors, including the caliber of the bullet, the initial velocity at which it was fired, and the angle at which it was shot. Generally, bullets drop at a rate of about 9.8 m/s² due to gravity. Wind resistance can also influence the rate of drop.


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.

How far does a bullet drop at 1000 yards?

There is no one answer, since there is no one bullet. The drop of a bullet is a function of the speed- how long it took to get to 1000 yards. Some bullets will not TRAVEL 1000 yards. All other things being equal, the faster bullet will drop less.


What is the bullet drop of a 22 cal long rifle?

There too many variables to give one answer- the drop is not even over distance, since the bullets begin to slow quite a bit at distances greater than 150 yards, It will vary depending on the speed of the bullet- and that varies by make, by bullet weight, and whether fired from a rifle, pistol, or revolver. When zeroed for 100 yards ,the trajectory of the standard high-velocity .22 LR with a 40-grain bullet has a 2.7-inch rise at 50 yards , and 10.8 inches drop at 150 yards .

What is drop on a gun?

The BULLET drop is the pull of gravity on the bullet as it is shot, resulting in the bullet lowering in altitude over a long distance. This is what long-distance shooters have to account for on their scopes. Different types of bullets with different weights, sizes, and shapes, as well as the barrel length and rifling ratios, affect how much the drop will be.


When a bullet is fired from a rifle?

When a bullet is fired from a rifle, a chemical reaction in the gunpowder ignites, rapidly expanding gases build up pressure, and the bullet is propelled out of the barrel at high speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin, improving accuracy and stability. Gravity will eventually cause the bullet to drop due to gravity and air resistance.


How do you use a ramrod puller?

The ramrod puller is used to remove bullets from a muzzle loader rifle without firing it or in the case of a mis-fire with a stuck bullet. The puller has a worm screw on the end of the ramrod or a pair of spiral wires. Drop the ramrod with the Puller on the tip into the barrel. Grip the ramrod and twist it such that the screw will dig into the bullet. Then pull on the ram rod to loosen the bullet and extract it.
