While firing a bullet the gun must be held tightly to the shoulders?
hold the rifle pressed against your shoulder tightly, but not to tight. you don't want the recoil to injure you, but you also don't want to mess up your aim with every tiny motion. hold it firmly and kind of let it float if you understand what I'm saying.
What is the difference between 7.92mm and 8mm ammunition?
If you're referring to the 7.92x57 and 8mm Mauser, they're one in the same. You might consider the latter to simply be a "lazy man's" term for the 7.92x57 cartridge.
Are 32 caliber bullets centerfire or rimfire?
Let's use the correct terms- BULLETS are the part of a CARTRIDGE that come out of the barrel. .32 Cartridges are now centerfire, but many years ago were rimfire. .32 rimfire guns have not been made in about the past 100 years, and are considered obsolete. There are also several DIFFERENT .32 centerfire cartridges- .32 Auto, .32 S&W revolver, .32 Long, .32-20 revolver, etc.
Is 223 ammo the same with 5.56?
No. In spite of similar dimensions, there are differences in neck angles and chamber pressures.
Is 223 ammo the same with 5.56 ammo?
No. They're dimensionally similar, but vary in several aspects, and may not always be interchangeable. Generally speaking, most 5.56 chambers will do just fine firing .223 ammo, but it's not recommended to use 5.56 ammo in a .223 chamber. The one exception to this would be the 80 grain .223 Wylde - a round which specifically requires a .223 Wylde chamber.
What caliber and how many bullets killed bugsy siegal?
He was shot with an M1 carbine, which fires the 7.62x33 cartridge, otherwise known as .30 US Carbine. How many shots actually hit him... information is a bit vague, but it's stated that nine shots were fired, and implied that four may have missed, so you'd be looking at at least five, including two head shots.
Can you fire a 38 bullet from a 380 handgun?
No. You cannot fire anything other than a .380 ACP cartridge out of a .380 handgun.
What is the difference between a .380 cal bullet and a .38?
There are several different types of .38 cartridges. The main thing which separates the .380 from the rest of them is that the .380 is intended for use in an unlocked breech pistol, whereas most of the other rounds are too powerful to be used in such a pistol. The .380 has a bullet diameter if .355 inches, and the metric designation for the cartridge is 9x17mm.
The most common .38 cartridge would be the .38 Special, which has a bullet diameter of .357 inches, has a longer case, and the most obvious difference is that it uses a rim, as opposed to the rimless design of the .380 ACP.
You may also have the .38 Super in mind, which is a cartridge intended for autoloading pistols, and still remains popular with competition firers. It has a bullet diameter of .356 inches, has a 22.83mm case length (vs. the 17.3mm case length of the .380), and much higher chamber pressures than the .380 ACP, making it unsuitable for the simple, unlocked breech pistols of the type commonly chambered for cartridges such as the .380 ACP.
Can 7.62X51 ammo be fired in a firearm chambered for 308 Remington?
Possibly. You would need to measure the headspace before you attempt this, though. 7.62x51 and .308 Winchester are dimensionally similar, but they are not identical.
What kind of ammo does a MP5 use?
It uses a 9x19mm Parrabullum NATO round, which is the standard round for most pistols and submachine guns made by countries in NATO.
Ammunition for a bryco 380 auto?
.380 ACP, and nothing else. Right now, there's something of a shortage on .380 ammo, and it's not the easiest to find at the moment.

Is a bullet to the head painless?
its only painless if the bullet goes directly to the brain. if not, it hurts like hell.
Does 125 grain bullet travel faster than 115 grain?
Not necessarily. The weight of the bullet (125 grain vs 115 grain) is just one factor that determines the speed at which it travels. Other factors like powder charge, barrel length, and bullet design also play a role in determining bullet velocity.
Why does a bullet have less momentum fired from a short barrel vs long barrel?
At the instant the gun fires, the bullet is at rest- speed zero. As the expanding gasses from the burning gunpowder reach the bullet, they begin pushing the bullet up the barrel. It's speed is increasing- and the longer the push, the higher the speed. There IS a point of diminishing returns- where a barrel LONGER than the perfect length begins to slow the bullet- you have used all the expanding gasses, and now friction is slowing the bullet. If you had a barrel 20 ft long, the bullet would not make it all the way up the barrel, it would stop.
For barrels on any realistically-usable weapon, a longer barrel will provide more momentum to the bullet than a shorter one. In addition, longer rifled barrels will also impart more spin, which will increase accuracy.
