Good question. Like many questions, the answer is, "It depends." It depends on how it is loaded, what powders are used, what bullet weight is used, and when the velocity is measured. For example, sitting in the chamber, the velocity is 0 feet per second. Ha ha. But, let's assume you meant "maximum velocity", which occurs just as the projectile exits the muzzle of the gun. A muzzle loading rifle, using a .50 caliber projectile and black powder, will have relatively slower muzzle velocities than .50 caliber modern cartridges. With modern powders and rifles, at the muzzle, the velocity may be as high as almost 3,000 feet per second. Shooters who load their own cartridges can achieve any velocity in between those extremes. Once the projectile leaves the muzzle, it begins slowing down from air friction until it reaches 0 feet per second again, on impact. Funny, but true.

How can calculate recoil velocity of gun?
The recoil velocity of a gun can be calculated using the principle of conservation of momentum. The formula to calculate the recoil velocity is: Recoil velocity = (mass of bullet * velocity of bullet) / mass of gun. This formula takes into account the mass of the bullet, the velocity of the bullet, and the mass of the gun.
How far will a 50 BMG bullet travel?
A .50 BMG bullet can travel over 4 miles if fired horizontally, but its effective range is typically around 1.5 miles. The bullet's trajectory and distance can be influenced by various factors such as the angle of fire, bullet weight, and atmospheric conditions.
What is the Difference between muzzle velocity and recoil velocity?
Muzzle velocity is the velocity of a bullet as it leaves the firearm's barrel, while recoil velocity is the backward momentum that the firearm experiences when the bullet is fired. Muzzle velocity determines the bullet's speed and trajectory, while recoil velocity affects the shooter's ability to control the firearm during and after firing.
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.
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.
