Will a 22 long rifle shoot a 22 magnum bullet?
No. Not only is the .22 magnum more powerful, it is longer, and LARGER in diameter. It will not chamber in a .22 LR firearm. There are a few revolvers that aremade with 2 different cylinders- one in 22 LR, one in 22 Mag, that can be swapped- but the cartridges themselves cannot be used interchangeably.
A .22 Long Rifles actual bullet is smaller than a magnum,not to mention the case diameter.So you wont be able to chamber a .22 Mag in a .22 LR...A .22 LR will chamber in a .22 Mag but due to the case diameter it will possibly split(possibly injuring the person shooting the gun,or damaging the firearm),and the bullet rattles around for about 3" in most gun barrels before it stabilizes,causing leading,premature barrel wear,and loss of accuracy...Dont Try It!!!
How fast does a 38 caliber bullet travel?
Muzzle velocity will vary, depending on whether fired from a rifle, revolver, or semi-automatic pistol- and on the loading of THAT particular cartridge. A .38 Special wadcutter target load fired from a 4 inch bbl revolver will reach about 690 feet per second. A +P+ (high energy load) fired from a 6" revolver may reach 1100 fps.
Yes, swords can block bullets. Bullets can fly really fast but you need to learn how to block fast flying bullets with a sword.

No, swords do not block bullets. If they did, police officers would be carrying swords. A bullet from a large caliber handgun or high powered rifle has enough energy to snatch the sword from your hand, break your hand, and shatter the blade of the sword. What works in anime does not always work in the real world.
The short answer is, it creates a hole in whatever it hits. Some bullets (hollow points) will generally expand and become jagged and make bigger holes than non-hollow points.
How are bullet casings and bullets used to compare and identify guns used in crimes?
The barrel of a gun has lans and grooves that cause the bullet to spin. These grooves leave distinct markings on the bullet that are like a fingerprint. No two guns leave the same markings on a bullet. The bullet casings are marked by both the firing pin hitting the primer or case rim, and the extractor that grabs the case and ejects it from the weapon. These are also distinct, gun specific, markings.
Yeah there good for coyotes but if possible get something a little bigger like a 223 or a 243 that way there sure to fall
Give speed of 9mm 124grain bullet?
For a 9mm Parabellum (aka 9mm Luger) the muzzle velocity of a 124 gr bullet will run ABOUT 1120-1170 feet per second, depending on exact load and barrel length.
Do bullets fired into the air come down and kill people?
They can- and have. A bullet may still have a lot of energy pushing it when it comes down. Firing into the air is a very unsafe practice- and violates one of the very basic rules of safe gun handling- "Know your target, and what is beyond your target".
What makes the bullet fly out of the gun?
When a gun is fired, gunpowder in the cartridge is ignited. It burns very quickly, creating a cloud of rapidly expanding high pressure gasses. Those expanding gasses push the bullet out of the barrel.
Does a gun silencer make a detectable mark on a bullet that passes through it?
Depends on the silencer, and the bullet. Some silencers (properly called suppressors) used a "wipe"- material that was moved aside by the bullet, and moved back to trap and slow gasses. Those suppressors could leave a marking on a bullet, especially a soft lead bullet. Few suppressors today use the wipe system, relying more on baffles and precision machining.
What browning pistols use 7.65 ammo?

That depends on where you live and how restrictive your local regulations are, but any sporting goods store will carry a variety of ammunition. Most Walmarts and many pawn shops have a sporting goods section. By federal law (in the US) you must be 18 to purchase ammunition for a rifle or shotgun and 21 to purchase pistol ammunition.
What is the difference between 7.62x51 bullet and a 7.62x54 bullet?
Well, let's use the right term- they are cartridges (which includes a bullet as part of the cartridge)
The 7.62 refers to bore diameter in millimeters, the second number the length of the cartridge case in millimeters. So one is 3 mm longer than the other.
However, European countries measured barrels differently than the US, and the 7.62x54 Rimmed, used by the former Soviet Union is about .312 inches, and was the standard cartridge for the Moisin-Nagant 91/30 rifle. The 7.62x51, also called 7.62 NATO, is about .308 inches, and is a rimless cartridge. That was the cartridge for the M14 rifle and M60 machine gun.
Needless to say, they do not interchange with each other.
What kind of ammo does a percussion cap gun fire?
Before the present day metal cartridges were created, firearms used lead bullets and loose gunpowder. To ignite the gunpowder, a percussion cap was used. This is a small metal cup (about the size of an unpopped kernel of popcorn), and contains a pressure sensitive explosive. When struck by the hammer, it sends a hot jet of flame into the firearm, igniting the gunpowder. You may hear the term "ball and cap" used to describe these. A VERY few firearms used the percussion cap with a metal cartridge, such as the Burnside or Maynard- but they have been obsolete for about 140 years,

Yes. .380 ACP is ONE of the full names for the cartridge- stands for Automatic Colt Pistol. You may also see it as 9mm Kurz, or 9mm Corto (means 9mm Short),
Can you safely shoot a 243 caliber bullet from a 410 gauge?
Hell no. .410 is not a gauge it is a caliber. True gauge is a measurement of the number of lead balls of bore diameter that constitute a pound. The .243 bullet is a lot smaller than the diameter of a .410 barrel. There are some .410's that can shoot 45 colts but not all can.
