Neglecting air resistance, they'll both trace exactly the same path, with the same acceleration,
and the same speed at any instant.
Both are accelerated downward by the acceleration of gravity ... 9.8 meters per second2.
Both top out (200 / 9.8) = 20.41 seconds after the shot, at 2,041 meters above the barrel,
and then begin to fall. Then, after another 20.41 seconds, both slugs pass the gun on their
way down, falling at 200 m/s.
Both bullets hit the ground at the same time. When that happens, the larger one hits with
greater kinetic energy. The actual number depends on how far the ground is below the gun.

How do bullets spin when fired from a gun?
Bullets spin when fired from a gun due to the rifling inside the barrel. Rifling consists of grooves that twist around the inside of the barrel, causing the bullet to spin as it travels down the barrel. This spinning motion stabilizes the bullet's flight and improves accuracy.
Why do bullets spin when fired from a gun?
Bullets spin when fired from a gun because of rifling, which are spiral grooves inside the gun barrel. The spinning motion stabilizes the bullet's flight, improving accuracy and range.
How bullets work?
A bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired from the gun. A cartridge consists of a cartridge case, primer, powder, and the bullet. The primer is struck by the firing pin, and explodes. In doing so, it ignites the gunpowder. Rapidly burning powder produces a rapidly expanding gas. This pushes the bullet out of the barrel.
Why teflon tip bullets?
Some bullets are coated with Teflon to protect the barrel from excessive wear and fouling. Other coatings for bullets include molybdenum disulfide, wax, and other proprietary films. Some bullets have a plastic tip or plugs and are generically called "poly-tips" and people sometimes mistake this for Teflon. The plugs initiate rapid expansion by acting like a piston which gets driven into a hollow cavity in the bullet. Such poly tipped bullets are commonly used for hunting small or thin skinned animals. One popular type of poly tipped bullet is the Nosler Ballistic Tip.
Define trAjectory of the bullet velocity of the bullet velocity?
Bullet trajectory is the path the bullet travels once it leaves the barrel. Bullets travel on a long arch and cross the line of sight twice. Once shortly after leaving the barrel and once again on target assuming the sights are properly zeroed. This is the trajectory of the bullet. Bullet velocity is the speed at which the bullet is traveling along it's trajectory.
What happens to bullets shell and casing when shot?
A cartridge consists of a cartridge case with primer, the powder filling, and the bullet (the projectile). When a cartridge is fired, the primer ignites the powder, which burns, driving the bullet out of the barrel. The now empty cartridge case may be automatically ejected from the gun (falls to the ground) or may have to be ejected by hand- depends on the gun.
Do a .38 special revolver have bullets marks after it left the barrel?
A bullet that has left the barrel has marks left from its travel down the barrel.
How do bullets spin when fired from a gun?
Bullets spin when fired from a gun due to the rifling inside the barrel. Rifling consists of grooves that twist around the inside of the barrel, causing the bullet to spin as it travels down the barrel. This spinning motion stabilizes the bullet's flight and improves accuracy.
If a bullet is shot from a gun and another bullet falls from a barrel which falls first?
If a gun was parallel with the earth and was fired and at that very instant someone standing by the barrel dropped a bullet from beside the barrel, both bullets would hit the ground at the same time. Bullets start falling the instant they leave the end of the gun barrel. That is why hunters hold their rifles at an upward angle. It looks like the bullet will shoot up into the sky. The bullet will follow a curved path toward its target.
What causes a bullet to spin when fired?
Rifling in the barrel is actually grooves cut into the barrel by the manufacturer to cause the bullet to spin as it leaves the barrel. Before rifling the bullets would tend to tumble when they left the barrel causing them to have shorter range and be less accurate.
Can a point 251 bullet go through a point 245 inner diameter barrel?
Probably. It depends mostly on the composition of the bullet, lead bullets are designed to be molded as they pass down the barrel ... that's how you get rifling.
How cops trace bullets?
Each gun barrel has a unique spiral pattern which leaves an imprint on any bullets that are fired. It's my understanding that they can match up the grooves on the bullet with the grooves on the barrel of a gun fairly easily, even if the bullet is all mashed up and deformed from impact. Hope this helps! Dee
How is a bullet sized?
The size of a given bullet is determined by its diameter, and its weight. The size must match the size of the barrel it will be fired from, and heavier bullets will be longer. With cast lead bullets, after casting they are pushed through a machine called a die. This squeezes the bullet down to a precise diameter- this is called SIZING.
How many types of bullets are available?
There are several dozens of different types of bullets. Remember that a bullet is the part of a CARTRIDGE that is fired out of the barrel. If you were asking about different cartridges, there are thousands of different ones.
Can you reuse bullets in guns or rifles?
Reuse? Probably not. Recycle? Definitely. The bullet is squeezed down as it is pushed through the barrel, and would not be a good fit even if not deformed by the impact. However, lead bullets can be melted, and cast into new bullets. It does require a large heat source, tools, and a bullet mold.
Why bullets rotates?
Bullets rotate due to the grooves that run down the inside of the barrel walls in a "helical" shape - this is known as "rifling". The grooves make contact with the bullet as it it fired down the barrel and cause it to spin. This improves its aerodynamic stability and accuracy.
Can bullets fall out of the barrel of a muzzle loader?
If they do, you loaded it with the wrong bullet. Bullets are a "squeeze fit". They may be wrapped in a greased cloth patch, or be made of really soft lead having grooves filled with grease. A properly sized bullet requires a strong push to fit it into the barrel. If the bullet did not stay tightly against the powder, but moved a few inches away, the gun would be destroyed on firing.
