Do guns use a converging-diverging nozzle to accelerate bullets to supersonic speeds?
No, bullets are accelerated by rapidly expanding gasses. Those gasses are in a cylinder only open at one end. The bullet acts as a piston, and is pushed out of the open end of the cylinder. Not all bullets are supersonic, but those that are become supersonic from the amount of acceleration, and the time it is applied.
Can you use 25-35 ammo in a 25-36M gun?
The winchester 25-35 Cartridge CAN be safely fired in a 25-36 Marlin caliber firearm. They are similar cartridges, the Marlin is a bit longer. For that reason the Marlin ammo cannot be fired in the Winchester.
How much does a 30-30s bullet drop at 200 yards?
Amount of drop will depend upon the ballistic coefficient of the projectile, muzzle velocity, atmospheric pressure, and ambient air temperature, along with the range at which the rifle is sighted in at.
<><><><>
Above is correct. ALL bullets begin falling at the muzzle when fired. For a typical 170 gr flat tipped 30-30, if the rifle is sighted in at 50 yards, the bullet will strike 12 inches below the point of aim at 200 yards. If sighted in at 100 yards, will strike 9.2 inches low at 200. (at 70 degees F temp) Other cartridges, other zero ranges, other results.
Can you use 38 bullets in 38 special pistol?
no the 38 bullet is fatter and and the special is smaller
What is the weight of an m4 carbine projectile?
62 grains for the ball cartridge, 64 grains for the tracer, 77 grains for the Mk. 262 projectile.
What is the thing bullets can't go through?
Many materials are bullet RESISTANT. Kevlar and other synthetic fibers are used to make soft body armor. However, nothing is truly bullet PROOF. The M1A1 Abrams tank fires a very big, very fast, very hard bullet that will go through 2 enemy tanks at once. This type of "bullet" is an armor piercing composite rigid shell. There are too many variables to consider, so more specifications are required. The apcr shell may or may not pierce through multiple tanks because enemy tank armor and armor slope is also involved. Scientists have devised a lightweight and extremely bullet resistant clear material that may replace glass but is also extremely expensive. This material can resist a standard .50 cal sniper rifle shot.
How fast do the bullets go on an AK 47 and how fast does it shoot?
2500+ fps and it could shoot as long as you want in eyes view.
HSM, or the Hunting Shack Munitions Co is an ammo maker located in Montana.
Will you die if you eat bullets?
That depends on what material the bullets are made of and how many you eat. If the bullet head contains heavy metals like lead they are toxic. But if the bullet is a blank or less than lethal, it is usually made of wax, which is not toxic per se.
But the bullets can stuck in your intestines, which can cause rupture and death.
In any case, your stomach will be upset. The more you eat the more dangerous it is. You may not necessarily die straight from eating the bullets, but heavy metal poisoning can kill you slowly.
Also, if you plan to eat the bullet with cartridge, explosives and all the amount of harmful chemicals are manifold.
Answer to your question: you do not necessarily die from eating bullets, but it is advised you should not.
For the 168 grain Core-Lokt, if you zero at 50 yards, you will hit 0.3" high at 100 yards, 13.4" low at 300 yards, and 157.9" low at 700 yards. 50 yards is a very close zero for a rifle. You might want to think about zeroing at something between 100 to 300 yards. If you zero at 200 yards, you will be 0.8" high at 50, 1.9" high at 100, 8.5" low at 300, and 146.4" low at 700. YMMV.
Why didnt they take out the bullet out?
They dont need to take the bullet out in many cases. Doctors will evaluate if it is safe to remove the bullet or not. It is not unusual to hear a bullet lodged in to a skull or spinal cord to be left in the body. Due to friction between the bullet and barrel plus the atmosphere by the time bullet reaches the body its already too hot and perfectly sterilised. There is no risk of infection from the bullet. Lead poisoning can only happen when there is oxidation. As oxigen can not reach the lead in the body it is safe to leave it in rather than causing more damage to the body trying to take it out.
What is the name of case of bullet after fire a shot?
The same as it is before it's fired - a casing. Some refer to an empty casing as a "shell" or "shell casing".
How many grains of powder in a 44 magnum bullet?
BULLETS are the metal projectile- the thing that comes out of the barrel- and contain no powder. The entire round of ammo is a CARTRIDGE (case, primer, powder, bullet). And there is no one answer for a .44 magnum cartridge- powder charge will vary, depending on WHICH powder is used, and which weight of bullet.
What is the maximum range of a 7.62x51mm bullet?
The maximum effective range of a 7.62x51mm bullet, commonly used in military and civilian rifles, is approximately 800 to 1,000 meters (about 875 to 1,100 yards) for hit probability on a human-sized target. However, with proper training and conditions, it can reach distances up to 4,000 meters (around 4,375 yards) in terms of maximum range, though accuracy diminishes significantly beyond its effective range. The bullet's design and ballistic characteristics contribute to its performance at various distances.
How much does a 7.62x39MM bullet weigh?
The bullet used in the 7.62 x 38 CARTRIDGE can be of different weights. The standard bullet loaded for the SKS and AK47 is about 123 grains.
Do all guns have bullet shells?
The proper name is a cartridge. No, not all guns use catridges. Muskets used loose gunpowder and lead balls. Pellet guns use air or compressed gas to drive a pellet. Spear guns use spear and big rubber bands to drive the spears (divers).
Absolutely, they are carried by law enforcement agencies and militaries the world over, including the United States Marine Corps.
How a bullet is being shot out of the barrel?
A cartridge consists of a casing (shell) with a built-in primer, a propellant (gun powder) and a projectile/bullet. When the trigger on a gun is pulled, it releases the hammer which strikes the high-explosive primer. The tiny explosion ignites the low-explosive propellant. If the low-explosive propellant was made of the same high-explosive stuff as the primer, the gun would blow apart. As the propellant expands inside the casing, the pressure builds to a point where the projectile/bullet can no longer hold on to the casing. The bullet goes the only way that it can which is down the barrel of the gun. As the bullet moves down the barrel, tiny spiral grooves in the barrel cause the bullet to spin like a spiral pass thrown in rugby or America football in order to make the bullet fly true.
When you see the flash of sparks come out of the barrel, that is the remnant of the propellant being burnt after the bullet has left the barrel and is on its way to the target.
Does the bullet explode if fired under water?
Your question is a bit ambiguous, but let's see what we can do.
First, not many guns will fire effectively under water, and attempting to do so could be dangerous. Since water does not compress, if the barrel fills with water, it could fracture or explode. And, because water is a heavier medium than air, if you were able to fire a gun submerged, the distance of travel for the bullet will be significantly less.
Second, recognizing the possibility that you might be looking for the penetration potential of a bullet fired into water and the result to the round, consider again the density of water. Bullets fired into water do not penetrate well, typically not further than a couple feet. Larger rounds such as .50 cal, .44, .45, and 7.62 mm tend to fracture upon contact, and all rounds dump their ability to penetrate much past a foot or two depth.
Finally, bullets do not "explode." Hollow points and soft tips tend to mushroom. These and smaller caliber rounds can fragment, especially if they hit a solid object. Teflon or ballistic tipped ammunition tend to slip through or tumble. Even crosshatched rounds such as Black Talon bullets don't explode; such are engineered to fracture in an even pattern so to cause dramatic soft tissue damage.
Do airguns shoot metal bullets?
Airguns normally shoot metal pellets. A rifle cargridge has a built-in gunpowder charge to propel the bullet when the powder explodes. An airgun compresses air in a chamber, when you pull the trigger the air is released and takes the pellet with it.
Can you shoot 38 special ammo in a 22 cal?
No. The cartridge is far too large to fit in the gun, and .38 Special is a centerfire, not a rimfire.
