Is there a gun that can use 380 bullets and 9 bullets?

No firearm exists that can shoot both 380 and 9mm. Unlike, say, the 357 magnum which can shoot 38 specials. Revolver rounds use the case rim to assure proper head space so they are more interchangeable. The 9mm and 380 are made for auto-loaders and they use the case length, rather than a rim, to determine proper head space. Because of that you can't shoot a 380 through a 9mm.

Need to know what kind of bullets a rg23 long rifle takes?

The RG 23 was made in caliber .22 Long Rifle. Any standard .22 LR cartridge should work. Due to the rather low quality of RG firearms in general, I would NOT use any of the hyper-velocity ammo, such as Stingers, Yellow Jackets, etc.

What is the price of an automatic ammunition loading machine?

Truly "automated" reloading machinery is pretty much purpose built for commercial loaders, and price would depend on the design. For personal use, you may be speaking of a Progressive reloading press, which is loaded with bullets, powder, primers, and cartridge casings, and produces one loaded cartridge per pull of the handle. The price of those will vary by brand (and the number of different caliber dies you want) but will generally run about $350 for a Lee press to about $650 for a Dillon.

Can a bullet go through a brick?

A bullet can shatter a brick, but the bullet will be flattened or broken into fragments by the time it comes out the other side of the brick. So that means it will be less dangerous than it was before it impacted the brick. It will be slower and less aerodynamic, less streamlined. It will quickly lose even more speed as it goes through the air. Brick walls offer pretty good protection against a few handgun bullets, but multiple hits from powerful rifle bullets can shatter the bricks and leave a hole for other bullets to fly through.

How much does a 30 30 bullet cost?

Proper term is cartridge (which is a cartridge case, primer, powder and bullet) Just ran a quick check on line with some suppliers- price is about 90 cents to $1.00 per cartridge- some exotic ammo is about $2.00 per cartridge. Check with local sporting goods stores, you may find it a tad cheaper.

Does a rifle need bullets or gun powder?

All firearms need: A projectile such as a bullet, gun powder to propel the bullet out of the barrel of the gun, and a cartridge to hold them together. Gun powder only explodes and the force from the explosion propels the bullet out of the barrel, basically. The cartridge is disposed of thereafter. A bullet will not move unless the gunpowder behind it explodes. This is the basic operation of a firearm/rifle.

How many bullets can a gun shoot at a time?

just one.

But many guns can rapidly shoot one bullet after another bullet.

Can you shoot a 22 caliber bullet from a 9mm handgun?

The short answer is no. You should never attempt to fire any cartridge in a gun other than what it is designed for.

The longer answer is, you may possibly be able to get a .22 cartridge to fire from a 9mm, but it could damage the gun or the person shooting it.
