How close do you have to be to a bullet to hear it go through the air?
Depends on the speed of the bullet, air temp and humidity. I hsve been about 6 feet from the path of a high powered rifle bullet, and you can hear the crack caused by the bullet breaking the sound barrier.
How much will a 30-06 bullet drop at 350 yds if sighted in at 200?
The answer will vary with the weight/ velocity of the bullet. Using an average velocity 165 gr bullet, a 30-06 rifle zeroed at 200 yds will strike ABOUT 15 inches below line of sight at 350 yds.
A bullet rotates in flight due to the rifling inside the barrel of a gun. The rifling creates grooves that grip the bullet and cause it to spin as it travels down the barrel. This spin stabilizes the bullet's trajectory and improves accuracy.
How far will a 9mm bullet travel before it begins to fall?
A 9mm bullet will travel approximately 2200 meters before it begins to descend to the ground. However, unless the person shooting the gun is in a open field, the bullet will not travel that far before hitting something.
What is muzzle velocity for 44 magnum ammo?
Questions about an individual caliber's velocity can be difficult to answer.
Velocity is affected by many factors, one of which is bullet weight; and any given caliber is usually available with a few options in this regard.
Another factor is the length of the barrel from which the gun is being fired. Deliberately over-simplifying the concept, the longer the barrel, the higher velocity up until you reach the threshold where all powder has been burned before the bullet's exit from the muzzle.
That said, for a .44 Magnum one can expect anywhere from 900/fps in certain snub-nose models using heavy bullets, up to 1900/fps with a load optimized to make speed the only priority.
A realistic average is could be pegged around 1,300 feet per second.
When a bullet is fired from a gun what happens to the energy released?
When a bullet is fired from a gun, the energy stored in the gunpowder is converted into kinetic energy that propels the bullet forward. The bullet carries this kinetic energy as it travels through the air until it hits a target or loses its energy through friction and air resistance.
How much will 30-06 150 grain bullet drop at 200 yards?
The bullet drop for a 30-06 150 grain bullet at 200 yards will vary based on the muzzle velocity of the specific load being fired. On average, you can expect around 6-10 inches of drop at 200 yards, depending on the specific characteristics of the ammunition and rifle being used. It's best to consult ballistics charts or use a ballistic calculator for a more accurate estimation.
What happens to a bullet as it moves down the barrel of a firearm?
As a bullet moves down the barrel of a firearm, it gets propelled by expanding gases from the ignited gunpowder. The rifling inside the barrel causes the bullet to spin, improving its accuracy by stabilizing its flight. The bullet gains speed and energy as it accelerates down the barrel before exiting the muzzle.
What is faster the speed of sound or the speed of a .223 short magnum bullet?
The speed of sound at sea level is 340 meters per second.
For the .223 Winchester Super Short Magnum bullet, a muzzle velocity of 1,402 meters per second is quoted. However, various factors affect bullet speed, such as muzzle type and length, powder types, powder packing etc.
However, if we take 1,402 meters per second as achievable, then this .223 bullet is 4.123 times faster than the speed of sound.
How far does a 115 Gr 9 mm bullet travel?
The distance a 115 gr 9mm bullet can travel depends on various factors such as the muzzle velocity, barrel length, bullet design, and atmospheric conditions. On average, a 115 gr 9mm bullet fired from a typical handgun can travel up to around 1000-1500 meters (3280-4921 feet) before losing its effectiveness.
Does the velocity of a 22 caliber bullet change with the length of the barrel?
Yes. The velocity of all common cartridges changes with the length of the barrel. In the case of a .22 LR, they develop the maximum velocity between 12 and 16 inches of barrel. Shorter than that, the gasses from the gunpowder have not accelerated the bullet as much as they can. Longer than that, gasses reached their max acceleration, and the bullet is now slowing from friction in the barrel.
effective range is the distance where a skilled shooter can reliably hit a target. For 22 LR, that is about 135-150 yards. The distance at which it will no longer penetrate a skull has too many variables to give a simple answer. The bullet usually drops to below speed of sound by 100 yards, and is dropping velocity quickly after that. By 400 yards it would be unlikely to cause a serious wound.
Does a bullet to the brain kill instantly?
Depends on many factors: caliber of bullet, velocity, direction, etc....
Generally, if a bullet damages both left & right hemispheres of the brain, the outcome will be fatal, but not necessarily immediate. Consciousness is often lost immediately.
If a bullet travels front to back, or back to front and only damages one side of the brain, the undamaged side CAN compensate and the victim can recover to various degrees.
Of course, large caliber bullets and shotgun damage to the head generally don't leave much chance for recovery. If anything, these types of weapons kill instantly, more or less.
How long does a tnt fireworks ammo smoke last?
The duration of a TNT Fireworks Ammo Smoke canister varies depending on the specific product and conditions. Generally, these smoke canisters last anywhere from 20 seconds to a few minutes. It's best to refer to the product packaging or instructions for more precise information.
How is foot pounds of energy measured for bullet impact?
It can be projected by using the formula E= MV2 divided by 450400.
E is the energy in foot lbs
M is mass of bullet in grains
V2 is velocity in feet per second, squared.
It can also be directly measured by taking a known weight, shooting it, and measuring the movement of the weight. This is known as a ballistic pendulum, and is not often used today.
What is the speed of a 380 acp bullet falling straight down?
Falling, and not tumbling end over end, the bullet will accelerate (due to gravity) at 32 ft per second- per second- until it reaches the terminal velocity- limited by air resistance- around 300 mph. If tumbling end over end, more air resistance, less speed- about 225 mps MAXIMUM.
Bullets are fast because they are propelled by the force created by the exploding gunpowder in a firearm. This rapid expansion of gases generates high pressure that pushes the bullet out of the barrel at a high velocity.
How far can a bullet travel accurately?
The accurate range of a bullet depends on factors such as the type of firearm and bullet used, weather conditions, and the skill of the shooter. Typically, most handgun bullets have an effective range of up to 50-100 yards, while rifle bullets can be accurate up to several hundred yards or even over a mile for some high-powered rifles.
How far does a bullet travel went shot into the air?
Depends. The caliber of the cartridge, the weapon that fires it, and the angle (straight up, or tilted to one side?) all all variables that will affect how far (or how high) a bullet will go. No one answer for your question- sorry-
EDITED AND ADDED: But here's a ballpark figure. If you take a large-caliber military or big game hunting rifle and shoot it into the air on a calm day with the barrel pointed about 35 degrees above horizontal, the bullet will reach about one mile (roughly 5000 feet) in altitude above the ground at the peak of its arc, and it will land on the ground (or water) about 3 miles away. It will land with a lot less speed then when it began its trip, but it will still be dangerous.
If you fire the bullet straight up into the sky, it could go up to 10,000 feet altitude ---roughly 2 miles above ground level. That's why military aircraft consider any altitude below 10,000 feet to be "within range" from small arms fire from the ground. Above 10,000 feet they're safe from regular rifles and hand-carried machineguns, but bigger cannons can still reach them.
How far will a 9mm 115grain bullet travel?
The distance a 9mm 115grain bullet can travel depends on factors such as the angle of firing, speed at which it was shot, and the surrounding environment. On average, a 9mm bullet can travel up to 1.5 to 2 miles in ideal conditions.
How can a bullet ricochet off water?
Can a bullet fire from body heat?
No, it cannot. The maximum amount of heat that a human body can generate at the skin level is around 110 degrees fahrenheit. This is far below the temperature range which would cause spontaneous ignition of the propellant in a modern bullet. Even black powder won't ignite at that low a temperature.
It is possible for a bullet to discharge by the force of a body falling on it, but that is extremely unlikely.
(and remember, when you say "bullet", what you really should say is "cartridge" - the "bullet" is only the lead/steel portion being expelled out the front, while "cartridge" includes the brass body and propellant as well).
What is the velocity of a 22 magnum bullet?
The velocity of a .22 Magnum bullet typically ranges from 1,500 to 2,000 feet per second (fps), depending on the specific load and barrel length.
Using the principle of conservation of momentum, we can calculate that the gun will recoil at 0.08 m/s in the opposite direction of the bullet. The total momentum of the gun and bullet before firing is equal to the total momentum after firing.
How long till a bullet loses momentum?
The rate at which a bullet loses momentum depends on various factors such as air resistance and the specific characteristics of the bullet. In general, a bullet will lose momentum relatively quickly due to air drag, but if fired in a vacuum, it could travel for several kilometers before losing all its momentum.
