Ammunition

All bullets "begin losing power" as soon as they leave the barrel- and continue to lose power until they stop. Firearms have a maximum range- how far can the bullet be driven- and a maximum effective range- How far can I HIT a target consistently with this gun/cartridge. Most 9mm pistols have a maximum range of about 900 yards- but at that distance, you cannot reliably hit anything except the Earth. An average max effective range is about 75 yards.

The drop of a 180 grain bullet at 200 yards depends on the muzzle velocity and ballistic coefficient of the specific ammunition being used. Generally, a 180 grain bullet fired from a typical hunting rifle with a muzzle velocity around 2,700 fps may drop around 5-7 inches at 200 yards when sighted in at 100 yards.

The time it takes for a bullet fired into the air to come back down depends on the bullet's initial velocity, weight, and aerodynamic properties. In general, it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to over a minute for a bullet to fall back to the ground. However, firing a bullet into the air is extremely dangerous and can cause harm or even death when it falls back down.

They are actually quieter than supersonic bullets. When a gun is fired, noise comes from 3 sources- the main one being the sudden blast of gasses that are released from the muzzle as the bullet leaves. That still exists with subsonic bullets- they are just traveling slower than the speed of sound (ABOUT 1200 feet per second) The second part of the noise is from the bullet breaking the sound barrier- a high pitched CRACK sound. Subsonics do not do that. Third part of the sound is from the action of the firearm extracting the fired cartridge, and loading a new one.

When a bullet hits a rubber sheet, the rubber will absorb some of the bullet's kinetic energy. The rubber sheet will stretch and deform, creating a bulge around the impact area. The bullet's force will eventually be dissipated through the material, causing the rubber to return to its original shape.

Bullets are fired into a gel tank in a forensics ballistic lab to simulate the impact of a bullet on human tissue. The gel, usually ballistic gelatin, has similar density and consistency to human tissue, allowing investigators to study the behavior of the bullet upon impact. This helps in determining the trajectory, penetration depth, and potential damage caused by a fired bullet.

The flight of a bullet is the path it follows after being fired from a firearm. This path is influenced by factors such as gravity, air resistance, wind speed, and the angle at which the gun is fired. Bullets typically travel in a parabolic trajectory, rising and then falling as they move towards the target.

Your question is ambiguous, assuming by capsule you mean the shell casing then this is also not the case in every weapon.

Shell casings are ejected when the weapon is fired if it is an automatic or semi-automatic weapon.

Revolvers, for instance, do not eject the spent cartridges.

The distance a .357 Magnum bullet can travel depends on factors such as the specific load, barrel length, and angle of fire. On average, a .357 Magnum bullet can travel up to 1 to 1.5 miles if fired horizontally. However, it will lose velocity and energy over distance, decreasing its lethality.

There is only one rifle described in the question and it travels 0 m. nice try.

The whole question is shown below:

An observer stands 26 m behind a marksman practicing at a rifle range. The marksman fires the rifle horizontally, the speed of the bullets is 790 m/s, and the air temperature is 20°C. How far does each bullet travel before the observer hears the report of the rifle? Assume that the bullets encounter no obstacles during this interval, and ignore both air resistance and the vertical component of the bullets' motion.

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.

Depends on WHICH 22 cartridge, and whether fired from a rifle or a pistol. A .22 BB cap from a pistol may have a muzzle velocity of 700 feet per second. .22 LR may range from 1000 fps to 1750 fps. Rifles will have a higher velocity than a pistol. PS- not all .22 caliber bullets are fired from rimfire cartridges. I shoot a .220 Swift, a centerfire rifle. It uses a large cartridge, firing a small bullet- at over 4000 fps

Yes, a bullet shot into the air can come down with enough force to cause serious injury or death. This is known as a "falling bullet" or "stray bullet" phenomenon, and it is important to never shoot a firearm into the air as the bullet can still retain lethal velocity when descending.

The pressure required to ignite a bullet primer typically ranges from 25,000 to 35,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure is generated by the firing pin striking the primer cup, causing it to crush the priming compound and ignite, subsequently firing the cartridge.

A bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired from the gun. A cartridge consists of a cartridge case, primer, powder, and the bullet. The primer is struck by the firing pin, and explodes. In doing so, it ignites the gunpowder. Rapidly burning powder produces a rapidly expanding gas. This pushes the bullet out of the barrel.

The velocity will vary depending on the load of the cartridge. Factory loaded 250 grain .44 magnums are rated at 1760 fps from a Marlin lever action rifle with a 20 inch bbl. I would expect another 100 fps from a lighter, 180 gr bullet. Your best answer may come from Marlin- 1-800-544-8892 is Customer Service.

A .50 caliber bullet is measured by its diameter, which is half an inch (or approximately 12.7 millimeters). Measurement can be done using specialized calipers or micrometers. The caliber of a bullet refers to the diameter of the projectile it can fire.

Bullets fired into water can travel long distances and still retain lethal velocity, posing a risk to people and wildlife. Additionally, the impact of the bullet hitting the water can cause unpredictable deflection, increasing the likelihood of injury or damage. Furthermore, the lead from the bullets can contaminate the water, posing environmental hazards.

Since the bullet is fired straight upward, it will be decelerating due to gravity acting in the opposite direction of its initial velocity. Thus, at t = 3 seconds, the velocity will be less than 36ft per second but still positive (as it's moving upward). To calculate the exact velocity, you would need to use the kinematic equation for velocity in one dimension.

No, the force of the gun results from the explosion of the gunpowder, propelling the bullet forward. The force of the bullet is the result of the acceleration it receives from the gun's explosion, which propels it in the opposite direction.

After leaving the rifle, the bullet only has the force of gravity acting on it vertically downwards. In the horizontal direction, there are no horizontal forces acting on the bullet unless there is air resistance or any other external force present.

To a point, the velocity of the bullet will increase. However, at some point, the gasses driving the bullet have maxed out, and beyond that point, the bullet will begin to slow from friction with the barrel. For a .22 LR cartridge, that length is about 12 inches. Larger cartridges have a greater "Max velocity" length, but there is a point of no more gain, and the start of loss of velocity.

working horizontally: time = dist/speed = 7500/3000 = 2.5

working vertically: distance= initial velocity*time + 0.5* accelleration*time^2

distance=0*2.5+0.5*-9.8*2.5^2 = -61.25 feet

it drops by 61 and 1/4 feet

No, the bullet that is shot will continue to travel at a high speed until it hits something, while the dropped bullet will fall to the ground due to gravity. The two bullets will not land together.

A bullet's shape is designed to minimize air resistance, or drag, as it travels through the air. This streamlined shape helps the bullet maintain high velocities and remain stable in flight. Additionally, the rifling of the barrel imparts spin on the bullet, which improves accuracy by stabilizing its trajectory.
