The most obvious different is the 10mm bullet is smaller in diameter than the .45. A 10mm bullet is .40 of an inch and the .45 is .45 of an inch. Other differences, depending on exactly which cartridge you are referring to, are muzzle energy and velocity.

If a bullet travels at 1100 fps how far would a 50 caliber travel?

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.


How fast does a pistol bullet travel?

It depends on several factors, but it can be as slow a couple of hundred feet per second to as fast as a couple of thousand feet per second. Calibers that are considered standard, such as 9mm, .40, .45, etc typically travel between 800 feet per second and 1300 feet per second.


How many feet per second can the average gun shoot?

No such thing as an "average gun". The .45 ACP fires a bullet at ABOUT 830 fps. A .220 Swift is over 4000 fps. A .22 pistol and .22 rifle will fire the same ammo, with greatly different velocities.

Caliber refers to the diameter of a bullet. A bullet for a .38 Special is actually .357 inches across, and for a .45 auto, about .451 inches. The 45 bullet will be wider, and usually heavier. Please note that this is only the BULLET, which is the projectile. The CARTRIDGE (case, primer, powder, bullet) of the two are different size, shape, design and weight. There also is the .45 Colt bullet (often referred to as a .45 Long Colt). This is about the same diameter as the .45 auto but has a longer cartridge than the .45 auto or 38 Special.

Both terms describe the diameter of the bullet in decimal parts of an inch. For example, a .357 bullet is 357 thousands of an inch in diameter and the .45 bullet is 45 hundredths of an inch in diameter. These labels of bullets are most common in the United States.

What isThe difference between glock 10mmand glock 45?

A glock 45 is a .45 caliber pistol, which fires a 45 caliber round. The glock 10mm fires 10mm rounds, which are .3945 caliber. Which is slightly smaller than the .40 caliber. Both of the two calibers, .45 and 10mm, are the 2 mosst expensive caliber weapons of glock. A 10mm is used mainly for law enforcement. You can fire rapidly with a Glock 10mm and be more accurate than you would with a Glock .45 caliber simply because the glock 10mm will have less recoil than the Glock .45 will. The Glock .45 will most likely do more damage though. Please Correct Me If I Am Wrong. Thanks, Bronson.

Why does a bullet have letters and numbers on them?

To indicate the caliber and manufacturer, or specific type of cartridge. For example: .22LR means 22 long rifle, which is different that a .22 short. .40 S&W means .40 Smith and Wesson, etc. which is different than a 10mm, even though a 10mm is .40 inches in diameter. .45 ACP stands for .45 Automatic Colt Pistol, which is different than .45 GAP, which stands for .45 Glock Auto Pistol.
