Ammunition

In the days of the muzzle loading rifle, the bullet had to be pushed down the barrel. When black powder is burned, it leaves "fouling", or gunk, behind. If a snug fitting bullet was pushed into the fouling, it would stick, and not go down the barrel. Even with a clean barrel, the bullet had to be hammered down the barrel, causing very slow loading times. This was addressed with the creation of the Minie bullet- smaller diameter, with a hollow skirt at the rear. The smaller bullet would fit down the barrel- but on firing, the hollow base expanded, gripping the rifling, causing the bullet to spin on the way out.

Sure. What it can stop will depend on the thickness of the iron, and the capabilities of the projectile being fired at it.

The Desert Eagle is capable of using either .44 or .50 caliber ammunition, although the .50 requires a barrel swap.

Most bullets are made of lead & copper, or similar metals. These metals aren't known for sparking when they hit things.

Now, if one of these bullets hit steel, or even some types of rocks, there might be splintering of the steel or stone from the impact, THAT could easily spark.

Also, there are armor piercing bullets that have a steel core for penetrating armor. These are likely to spark in low light situations--especially if they hit steel.

Some larger military bullets can contain a small amount of an explosive for maximizing damage to aircraft, vehicles or personnel. These not only spark but explode with shrapnel. I think 20mm is fairly common, there may be some .50 caliber specialty rounds that can as well (not 100% positive).

What you see in TV & Movies is not common, in a typical gunfight with pistol rounds hitting things and sparking--not too common--but it makes for good entertainment.

Oh, if bullets hit a fuse box, or other source of electricity, there can be sparks as well. Again, not too common,

Cannot give you one simple answer. It will depend on the type of steel, the angle of impact, the distance to the plate, and what type of cartridge the AK47 is firing. They DO make an armor piercing cartridge, and it goes through more armor than a regular ball cartridge.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never fire ammunition in a weapon not specifically chambered for it.

DANGER, DANGER, DANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A .22 can kill from over a 50 yards away easily. So yeah point blank it will go in and bounce around tearing up organs.

All weapons exhibit a preference for one or more brands and projectile weights. You will have to buy as much as you can and shoot to get the answer for YOUR weapon.

Have it examined by a good gunsmith. This rifle use a .22 caliber bullet, long rifle.

They are available in 2-3/4 inch, 3 inch, and 3-1/2 inch.

Fire symbol 1 signifies ammunition with a mass explosion hazard.

Winchester model 04A takes a .22 cal round as it is intended for younger men up to adult

None. A bullet is a bullet, regardless of what material it's made from.

Originally, they were billed as "less than lethal" munitions. However, they're called "less lethal" now, because it's been discovered that they, in fact, can kill. You have an object moving at a high velocity impacting against the human body - the potential for lethality will always be there, just as the potential for a person to be killed by a baseball which hits them exists.

The USP .45 utilizes .45 caliber bullets, as the name suggests.

Yes

the 30 cal luger cartridge has a bottle neck case. a mauser 32 cal cartridge has a straight case...........

You will have to have it checked out by a good gunsmith. There is more than one type of 7.65 ammunition.

Is there any wind? What's the elevation and barometric pressure (air density)? What's the coefficient of friction on the bullet's cross-section? How many rotations per minute is the bullet turning? Will it flip and fall point down at the top, or sideways, or tail-first? If you're looking for a "real world" answer, there's a LOT of information missing, a LOT of variables...

If you're thinking in a vacuum, no wind, basically a physics class problem, it'll be about 50 seconds, and hit a peak altitude of about 3062.5 meters before falling.

1 in 9 is actually the ideal pitch for the 5.56x45 SS109/M855 cartridge. The reason the military went with 1 in 7 is because it could fire 62 grain ball ammo and 64 grain tracer ammo to matching flight characteristics. You're perfectly fine with the barrel you have.

As for the chrome lining, that all depends, and I personally advise most civilian shooters not to bother with it. Several companies offer chrome lined barrels, but most of them don't line their barrels to the actual military specifications (in spite of their claims of being mil spec). This often results in the chrome lining being substandard, eventually flaking off, and causing a reduction in accuracy. You should also note that non-chrome lined barrels are typically more accurate than chrome lined barrels, because of imperfections created by the chrome lining process.

Some manufacturers of cartridges up to 75 grain actually recommend a 1 in 9 pitch. It will not, however, properly stabilise the 77 grain cartridges, nor the 80 grain .223 Wylde cartridges (which require a specific chamber, anyhow).

Also note that, while .223 Remington and 5.56x45 are dimensionally similar, they are not one in the same.

It seems this caliber is slowly fading. I get mine from Able Ammo.

It is technically possibly, but, it is not something you should attempt.

Tissue damage, major organs which get hit may eventually fail to function. You might survive or you might die. I suppose there'd be some risk of lead poisoning to go along with any other injuries. All in all, it's probably a pretty safe assumption you'd want to have it removed from you. To be more specific than that, one would need to be able to take into account the capabilities of the round you were hit with, and where you were hit with it.

Let's use the right term- CARTRIDGE- Bullet is the part that comes out of the barrel. The Para-Ordnance pistol (11-45) has a magazine capacity of 11 cartridges. Some Glock pistols have a 13 round capacity- and there have been special magazines that hold 50 rounds or more- although not truly practical for a handgun. King of the heap would be an Auto-Ordnance Thompson Machine Pistol, with the 100 round drum magazine.
