Can bullets ricochet off water?

Yes, bullets can ricochet off water, but the angle of impact and the velocity of the bullet can affect whether it will ricochet or not.


What is the connection of water tank in forensic ballistic?

Water tanks are often used in forensic ballistics to simulate the effects of shooting into water, which can help determine the trajectory of a bullet and the extent of damage caused by a projectile. By analyzing the behavior of bullets fired into water tanks, forensic experts can gather valuable evidence to reconstruct shooting incidents and make interpretations about the weapon used.


Why water is important to energy?

Water is important to energy production because it is used for cooling in thermal power plants, like nuclear and coal-fired plants. It is also essential for generating hydroelectric power through dams and water turbines. Additionally, water is used in the production of biofuels and helps in the extraction of resources like oil and gas.


How does ballistics help police solve crimes?

Rifling marks, the marks etched into a bullet as it travels through a gun's barrel, are to a gun as fingerprints are to a person. To see if a fired round came from a particular gun, the gun is test fired into a pool of water (to stop the bullet without changing its shape) then the marks on the test fired bullet and the bullet in question are compared. Knowing the trajectory of a bullet points you in the direction of its origination. There are also some clues that will help you determine from how far a shot was fired, such as approximate speed on impact and the presence of burnt gunpowder.


Does water affect a bullets trajectory?

In general, water can affect a bullet's trajectory by slowing it down as it passes through. This can cause restrictions in velocity and a reduction in range. However, the exact impact can depend on variables like the bullet's speed, caliber, and the depth of the water.

Is there a way to find exactly which gun fired the bullet if there are several guns and several bullets?

Yes, there is. Each gun leaves different marks on the bullet as it travels down the barrel. It is just a question of test firing each of the guns available into water. Water stops the bullet in a very short distance without deforming the bullet. Then the sample bullet from the water is placed on one side of a comparison microscope and one of the bullets in question is placed on the other side of the microscope. By careful manipulation of the bullets it's possible to look at both of them to see if they match. If they do, question answered. If they don't, check the sample from the water against one of the other unknown bullets. This process is repeated using test bullets from each of the guns and comparing them against all the unknown bullets. Eventually it is possible to tell which weapon fired which bullet(if all the guns that were fired are available for test firing). The process will also tell whether all the weapons fired are accounted for. If there are bullets that don't match any of the test fired bullets then one, or more, gun/s must be missing


Does the bullets in Normandie could really penetrate in the water like in ''Saving Private Ryan'' movie?

bullets do not go far after being fired into water.............and are unlikely to penetrate a body after couple of feet into water....Most bullets will shatter after going a few inches into the water, however, if they are already slowed down enough, they could go through the water and kill someone.


Is the taurus 357 magnum waterproof?

Well, most guns are waterproof in one sense of the word- they do not dissolve in water. Can it be FIRED underwater? Yes- but whether it can be SAFELY fired underwater is another matter. Guns that are fired underwater are subjected to pressures that they were not designed for, and the bullets go only a short distance. If a gun has been submerged under water, it should be drained, dried, and lubricated.

Do the bullets really penetrate the water in World War 2 like in 'Saving Private Ryan'?

No, not really. High powered ammo, like that fired from German light machine guns and rifles, will break apart on entry into water. See Mythbusters Episode 34

yes

Does the bullet explode if fired under water?

Your question is a bit ambiguous, but let's see what we can do. First, not many guns will fire effectively under water, and attempting to do so could be dangerous. Since water does not compress, if the barrel fills with water, it could fracture or explode. And, because water is a heavier medium than air, if you were able to fire a gun submerged, the distance of travel for the bullet will be significantly less. Second, recognizing the possibility that you might be looking for the penetration potential of a bullet fired into water and the result to the round, consider again the density of water. Bullets fired into water do not penetrate well, typically not further than a couple feet. Larger rounds such as .50 cal, .44, .45, and 7.62 mm tend to fracture upon contact, and all rounds dump their ability to penetrate much past a foot or two depth. Finally, bullets do not "explode." Hollow points and soft tips tend to mushroom. These and smaller caliber rounds can fragment, especially if they hit a solid object. Teflon or ballistic tipped ammunition tend to slip through or tumble. Even crosshatched rounds such as Black Talon bullets don't explode; such are engineered to fracture in an even pattern so to cause dramatic soft tissue damage.
