Ammunition

Yes, as you do not always know where the bullet will land. Dozens of people get killed every year as a result of people firing randomly into the air, usually in celebrations.

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.

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

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.

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".

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.

9mm

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,

35 to 40 grains . i use ballistic tip supremes lead free 35 grain goin 3800 feet per second sighted in dead on at 100 yds they only drop 5.5 inches at 300

22LR high velocity - MV= 1260 fps

17 HMR MV= 2550 fps

A lot faster, huh?

Clean it first, then make sure the extractor's in good shape.

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),

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.

There are more than a dozen different .38 caliber cartridges. Most of them are obsolete- however, there are 2 that are still fairly common. The one that may be called a .38 Short (incorrectly, but they do get called that) is the .38 S&W. This is shorter and fatter than the .38 Special cartridge, and does not interchange with it.

airsoft uses 6mm bbs. Perhaps you are talking about weight? .20 gram is good.

ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol. They are the same.

JHP means Jacketed Hollow Point. A copper alloy over a lead (usually) core, with a hollow point for dependable expansion.

Both the SKS-44 and the AK-47 fire the 7.62x39 cartridge.

NO. The .22 is a RIMFIRE cartridge, and is smaller in diameter than the .25 ACP- which is a center fire cartridge.

It is possible, however "not preferable" is drastically understating the seriousness of it. If you put the wrong caliber cartridge in a handgun, you can possibly damage the gun and/or hurt yourself, so it isn't "not preferable." INSTEAD, it is a really, really bad idea that you should never try.

no. nonononono what kind of a qestion is that

Yes, the black powder and fulminated mercury found in bullets are very unstable compounds and can be made to explode by numerous means. For example: if you throw a bullet or bullets into a bon-fire they will explode, hitting a bullet with a hammer is never a good idea, sending an electric current through a bullet is like-wise a bad idea.

No, it wouldn't even come close to fitting and would be very dangerous even if it did. One can only use the ammo a firearm is chambered for.

I'd stay with standard velocity ammo which it was designed for.

Technically, a 9mm bullet has NO energy, since the bullet is the metal part that leaves the muzzle of the gun when fired. However, the 9mm Parabellum cartridge does have energy. The exact energy varies with the loading of that cartridge- but about 420 ft lbs of energy at the muzzle. Typically this is more than a .38 Special cartridge, less than a .357 Magnum cartridge.
