Ammunition

Depends on WHICH .22 bullet, what it was fired from, what kind of wood, and at what distance. .22 CB caps, fired from a pistol, at 20 ft, will bounce OFF a pine 2x4. A high velocity 40 gr .22 LR, fired from a rifle, will penetrate about 1 inch in the same 2x4.

No, and you can't drive a car with no fuel. A gun is a device to launch ammunition. You can "dry fire" a gun with no ammo, but that is not good for SOME guns.

Depends on which .45- 45 Colt, 45 ACP, 45 Magnum, 45-70, and which bullet, and what it is fired from. If you mean the .45 ACP fired by a 1911A1 pistol, velocity varies from 830 FPS up to about 1020 fps. Slow, fat, but gets the job done.

An airsoft pellet is capable of damaging walls. In most cases, it would be more likely to dent or cause chipping, but all building materials and buildings are not created equal.

There too many variables to give one answer- the drop is not even over distance, since the bullets begin to slow quite a bit at distances greater than 150 yards, It will vary depending on the speed of the bullet- and that varies by make, by bullet weight, and whether fired from a rifle, pistol, or revolver. When zeroed for 100 yards ,the trajectory of the standard high-velocity .22 LR with a 40-grain bullet has a 2.7-inch rise at 50 yards , and 10.8 inches drop at 150 yards .

It has a thirty round magizine or a 100 round drum

The current production Ladysmith (by Smith and Wesson) fires .38 Special ammo, and can use any factory .38 Special ammo. Do not confuse the current Ladysmith with a tiny .22 caliber revolver made by S&W years ago.

Many firearms have a mechanism (the extractor) that grabs the rim of a cartridge case (or the extractor groove) that makes the cartridge case move with the bolt when it moves. As the bolt moves to the rear, the fired case is drawn with it. When it is fully withdrawn, part of the mechanism flips the case out of the firearm (ejection). Not all guns have ejectors- top break shotguns may extract the fired shell, but some require you to eject by pulling the fired shell with your fingers.

It can be.

No.

There are several different calibers that are called 9mm. These calibers are not interchangeable.

A quick rundown of 9mm pistol cartridges:

9x17 also called 9mm Kurz, 9mm Short or .380 Auto

9x18 Makarov, also called 9mm Makarov

9x19 also called 9mm Luger, 9mm, 9mm Para, 9mm Parabellum

9x21 also called 9mm IMI

9x23 also called 9mm Long, 9mm Largo

The part is the disconenctor.

There should be a headstamp identifying the manufacturer on the rear of the casing. Normally, the calibre of the round would also be printed here, but some manufacturer's do not do this. See related link.

22 shorts can be used in any 22 cal. weapon. however, some 22 rifles require long or long rifle 22 bullets.

AA: Normally you use 22 shorts in a 22 cal revolver. 22 shorts use pistol powder. It burns much faster than rifle powder. Thus, a 22 short bullet is going as fast as it is going to go after it has travelled about 4 inches. A 22 long or long rifle uses rifle powder. The powder burns slower. It has finished burning when the bullet is about 20 inches down the barrel. A 22 long rifle bullet has very little force when shot from a pistol. The powder is still burning long after the bullet slowly left the barrel. So use pistol ammunition for a pistol and rifle ammunition for a rifle.

A .22 revolver takes CARTRIDGES. Which .22 cartridge will depend on what caliber the revolver was made for. A .22 LR can shoot Long Rifle or Short cartridges, and a .22 WMR uses .22 magnum cartridges. They do not interchange. There are a few .22 revolvers that have 2 cylinders, and can shoot either cartridge.

Most are. A very few have no lead, but most bullets ARE lead, or lead combined with other metals. A few have been made of plastic, wood, wax, copper, steel and even powdered iron.

No. Some rounds are naturally subsonic (such as the .45 ACP), some tend to be borderline (such as the .22 LR), and some available in reduced loadings to make them subsonic.

Possibly. The commercial .308 Winchester generates higher chamber pressures than military 7.62x51 does, and this may not be advisable practice for all 7.61x51 rifles. If in doubt, inquire with the manufacturer of the rifle before using commercial .308 ammunition.

5.56, and it is supposed to be readily adaptable to accept 7.62x39, 5.45x39, 6.8x43 Remington SPC, and there are rumours that the necessary components for it to be converted to fire the 6.5 Grendel are in the works.

9mm and .380 bullets are the same diameter. In fact, .380 is also called 9mm Kurz(short) or 9x17. However, the caliber commonly called 9mm is 9x19, which means the cases are different size. A .380 cartridge will fall down into the chamber and the firing pin will not reach the primer.

So, a .380 bullet can be fired from a 9mm gun if it were loaded into a 9mm case. A .380 cartridge would fail to fire in a 9mm gun.

Check with the manufacturer or see the user manual.

If the gun is too old to have a user manual or is made before the 1970's it probably cannot use +P ammunition.
