Ammunition

When the triger is pulled, a pin in the barrel behind the cartridge is forced into the end of the cartridge igniting the powder charge. The ignition releases gasses under very high pressure which pushes the bullet out of the cartridge, down the barrel and to the target.

No, this statement is not true. When a rifle is fired horizontally, the bullet immediately begins to drop due to gravity as soon as it leaves the barrel. The rate of drop will depend on the muzzle velocity of the bullet and the distance it has traveled.

The fastest moving bullet can travel at speeds of around 4,000 feet per second (1,219 meters per second) for certain rifle bullets. These high velocities allow the bullet to cover a mile in less than two seconds.

The spinning motion of the bullet creates gyroscopic stability by resisting changes in orientation. This stability enables the bullet to maintain a straight path and resist tumbling or veering off course during flight. Additionally, the spin helps improve accuracy by minimizing the effects of external forces like air resistance.

a s.w.50 caliber or ( special weapons ) also known as the snipers weapon and is about 5.45" in length, either it has a red, black, silver or blue tip

That really didn't answer the question. Here is what you need to consider when trying to answer this question. #1 What is the weight of the bullet? If you're talking about a 750 grain .50 BMG, then it would not travel very far. Is this a Beowulf .50 cal or a Browning Machine Gun .50 cal? You can get exterior ballistics software on-line to calculate exactly what your looking for.

A bullet does not accelerate after it leaves the barrel of a gun. It will decelerate. You could say it accelerates, but the acceleration would be negative. The bullet is accelerated by expanding gas as it moves down the barrel, and after it leaves the muzzle, there is no more acceleration imparted from expanding gas. We also find that air friction (drag) is acting to slow it down. Think this one through and it becomes obvious.

Velocity of .50 BMG (Browining Machine Gun, 660 gr to 720 gr bullet weights ) projectile within 20 feet of the muzzle will between 2750 and 2850 feet per second, depending upon the cartride.
It depends on the weight and shape of the bullet, as well as the amount of powder used, but a good average would be from 2800 feet per second to a little over 3000 feet per second when shot from a rifle. There have been reports of greater speeds (in the 4000 to 5000 fps range) perhaps with sabot rounds.

The bullet will drop due to gravity as it travels, causing it to miss the target. Using the kinematic equation (s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2) where (s = 100 m), (u = 200 ms^{-1}), and (a = -9.81 ms^{-2}) (acceleration due to gravity), you can calculate the time it takes for the bullet to reach the target. Once you have the time, you can use the equation (d = \frac{1}{2}at^2) to determine how much the bullet will drop vertically and hence how much it will miss the target.

You do not mention which 9 mm cartridge you are asking about. As the 9mm Luger (parabellum) is the most popular handgun load in the world, I assume this is the one? The maximum listed range is about 2200 metres. Actual distance will vary depending on the grain weight of the bullet (for the 9mm luger, from 100 to 147), barell length, and other factors.

A 30-06 bullet fired at typical velocities will drop around 8-10 inches at 300 yards depending on the specific load and ballistics. It's always recommended to verify with a ballistics calculator or actual shooting to get accurate results for your specific setup.

It is KINETIC energy- mass in motion. Prior to being fired, the cartridge has POTENTIAL energy- stored, but not released (yet)

Probably. The bullet would be travelling slower than when it left the gun (see related question) but it would still be travelling fast enough to cause injury. In areas of the world where guns are fired into the air in celebration injury from falling bullets is not uncommon.

It doesn't. As soon as a bullet leaves the muzzle gravity takes over and it starts to drop.

ADDING: The bullet only appears to rise because it crosses paths with the line of the sights. A rifle's sights are usually located 1 to 2.5 inches above the center of the barrel. People normally adjust their gun sights so that the sights aim downward to cross the bore line at a point pretty close range (maybe 20 meters). But then while the imaginary straight line of the bore continues into the sky above the target forever, the real bullet, slowed down by air resistance and pulled down by gravity, will eventually drop across that line of sight again. This will be at a much longer range.

The maximum distance a bullet can travel depends on factors such as the type of ammunition, angle of fire, and environmental conditions. In general, bullets fired from rifles can travel several miles before losing velocity and dropping to the ground. However, firing a bullet over long distances increases the likelihood of accuracy being affected by external forces.

A bullet is propelled by the controlled explosion of gunpowder in the cartridge. When the gun's firing pin strikes the primer, it ignites the gunpowder, which rapidly expands to create gas pressure that propels the bullet down the barrel and out of the gun.

No, a dropped bullet will not explode upon hitting the ground. The impact may cause the bullet to deform or potentially discharge if it is struck in a specific way, but it will not explode like a firework.

The distance a 9mm bullet can travel when fired depends on various factors such as the muzzle velocity of the firearm, the angle at which it is fired, and environmental conditions. On average, a 9mm bullet can travel up to 1.5 miles when fired from a handgun and up to 2.5 miles when fired from a rifle.

Bullet ballistics refers to the behavior of a bullet in flight, including factors such as velocity, trajectory, and accuracy. It involves studying the impact of various variables like distance, wind speed, and bullet design on the bullet's performance upon firing. Understanding bullet ballistics is essential for precision shooting and hunting.

The grain of a bullet refers to its weight. Heavier bullets typically have better stability and accuracy compared to lighter ones, as they are less affected by wind and other external factors. However, the specific gun, barrel length, and shooting conditions also play a significant role in determining accuracy.

When a .30-30 bullet is shot straight up in the air, it can reach an altitude of around 1 to 2 miles before losing momentum and falling back to the ground. The actual height depends on factors such as the angle of the shot, the bullet weight, and environmental conditions.

The mass of a bullet is nowhere near the mass of a gun. A bullet weighs at most a few hundred grains. Most guns weigh at least a couple of pounds, some weigh several pounds (talking about handguns and rifles).

bullet trains travel at 96.5 percent the speeed of a bullet

No it doesn't. A bullet train does around 190mph normally and can reach 275mph. Depending on calibre, a rifle bullet travels at 1,500-2,000mph. So on average, a bullet train travelling at normal speed travels at between 9.5 and 12.6% of the speed of a rifle bullet.

Bullet size is typically measured by its diameter in inches or millimeters. This measurement is taken at the widest point of the bullet, known as the caliber. It is important to accurately measure bullet size to ensure proper fit and function in firearms.
