Ammunition

The metric system was passed into law in France on August 1, 1793. What you're referring to is the standardisation of the International System of Units as the metric system (which actually occurred in the 1960s).

You can find official information about the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required when working with ammunition containing chemical fillers in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provided by the ammunition manufacturer. Additionally, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines may also provide information on the appropriate PPE to be used in such situations.

The momentum of a bullet fired from a gun is the product of its mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity that represents the motion of the bullet in a specific direction and is conserved in the absence of external forces.

Munitions operations generally cease when lightning is within 5 miles of the flightline to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

Simple answer, it makes a hole and the blood all comes out the hole.

More detailed answer, a fired bullet carries a lot of energy, destroys tissues and structures along its path and causes traumatic injury.

Depends on the gun, the bullet, amount of propellant, angle of firing, rifling, temperature, air pressure, humidity etc An average military assault rifle can fire a bullet almost three miles on optimal trajectory.

Usually between 2500 and 3200 feet per second out of a 16" barrel, depending on the weight of the projectile.

Superman's powers include superhuman speed and strength, which allow him to stop a bullet in mid-air. However, if a gun is thrown at him, he may prioritize avoiding any potential harm or damage, as he is not invulnerable to all kinds of attacks. It's a matter of assessing the situation and responding accordingly to protect himself and others.

Also known as the Type PS, the 57N231 is is the standard Soviet full metal jacketed bullet issued for years for the SKS and AK47. The core is lead, with a small amount of tin/antimony added to increase the hardness. It does NOT have a steel core. The type 7N23 does have a hardened steel penetrator, and is classed as AP ammo. The Chinese Type 56 Ball has a partial mild steel core, but is not classed as AP.

A chronograph is typically used to measure the speed of a bullet. This device calculates the bullet's velocity by timing how long it takes to pass through two sensors placed a known distance apart. The speed is then calculated based on this elapsed time.

The force of an average bullet can vary depending on its caliber and velocity. Generally, bullets can exert thousands to tens of thousands of pounds of force upon impact with a target due to their high speed and energy.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
