Outer space is not TOTALLY empty- simply CLOSE to empty. The space between stars has a tiny amount of dust and a few atoms of hydrogen. Eventually the bullet would hit something, or be slowed by friction. May take a few million years to do that......

Is it possible to shoot a bullet into space from the ground on earth?

No, it is not possible to shoot a bullet into space from the ground on Earth. Bullets fired from firearms do not have enough velocity to escape Earth's gravity and reach space. Additionally, there are aerodynamic forces, air resistance, and other factors that would prevent a bullet from traveling to space.


How fast would a .50 cal bullet Travel if Shot in Space?

The bullet will travel as fast as it would on earth (possibly a little faster, due to the lack of air resistance in the barrel). Once it left the barrel, it would continue with the same speed until slowed by gravity, or it entered a planetary atmosphere- or hit something.


Can you shoot a bullet in outer space?

Yes, a bullet can be shot in outer space because guns rely on internal mechanisms to fire bullets, rather than external oxygen or air. However, the bullet would travel indefinitely until acted upon by another force, as there is no atmosphere in space to slow it down or change its trajectory.


How would you prevent a bullet wound?

By not getting shot


Why does bullit travel slow in space?

It doesn't. if a bullet were shot from earth into space and had enough acceleration to pull away from earth's gravity, it would travel indefinitely until hitting an object.


What speed does a bullet return to earth?

If the bullet were shot perfectly vertically in a vacuum, it would reach its maximum altitude, then fall at a velocity of 32 ft/sec/sec. The terminal velocity would depend upon the altitude reached by the bullet, which in turn depends upon the caliber and load of bullet shot.


If a bullet is shot on the moon and another shot on earth which would travel farthest?

if you really need this you are an idiot but it is the moon


Will a shot bullet land at the same time dropped bullet?

No, the shot bullet will land after the dropped bullet. This is because the shot bullet has an initial horizontal velocity in addition to the vertical acceleration due to gravity, while the dropped bullet only has the vertical acceleration due to gravity.


Why will you never survive from a head shot?

It is possible to survive a gun shot to the head. It would depend which route the bullet took.


Was George Washington ever injured in combat?

Miraculously not. He had horses shot out from under him, and found bullet holes in his coat after battles, but was never actually shot or otherwise wounded.


Can a bullet shot from a musket at close range set something on fire?

Yes it would.


Would Superman die if he got shot in the eye?

Only if the bullet was made of Kryptonite.
