Will a bullet in the arm kill you?

If you believe it will, yes. If it destroys the brachial artey and the bleeding isn't stopped you will bleed out.

If you soak a bullet in gasoline and shoot it in a gun will the bullet be on fire?

No, but you could hurt yourself that way. Because the gasoline will start burning in the rifle which is very dangerous! If the vapor ignites, it could burn everyone nearby. Gasoline vapor can be ignited by sources as far as 20 feet from the container.

So don't try this!

********************

There is also a possibility that the cartridge would fail to fire. Gasoline MAY soak into the cartridge, and deactivate the primer and/or powder. Ever hear the expression "Keep your powder dry"?

All in all, putting gasoline on your cartridges is a VERY BAD IDEA. Dangerous and unprofessional. Never do it. Never mind what people do in movies. In real life, firearms are deadly WEAPONS, and should be handled with respect and care. Anyone who is not responsible enough to handle firearms intelligently and carefully should not handle them at all.

**********************

The compounds used in incendiary bullets contain phosphorus, which burns fiercely when ignited. Of course, playing with phosphorus is just about as dangerous as soaking bullets in gasoline.

Is there a difference between a 38 caliber bullet and a 380 caliber bullet?

Yes they is a differnent. When people say "38" they usually mean .38 special, which is a revolver cartridge. .380 ACP is a semi-automatic cartridge. The bullet in a .380 cartridge, even though it's called .380, is actually very slightly smaller in diameter, and lighter than the bullet in a .38 cartridge. The .38 bullet is 0.357 inches in diameter while the .380 is 0.350 inches in diameter.

Technically, the .380 cartridge is considered part of the 9 mm class of bullets. [9 mm x 19 mm = 9 mm Luger or 9 mm Parabellum, 9 mm x 18 mm = 9 mm Tokarov, and 9 mm x 17 mm = .380 ACP]

How many bullets in a gun?

It depends on the gun. A single shot (pistol, rifle, or shotgun) holds only one at a time. A double barrel naturally holds two. Revolvers commonly hold 6, but some could have as few as 4 and I have seen as many as 12. The Thompson submachine gun with a drum magazine holds 100 rounds. Belt-fed machine guns really only hold one bullet at a time, but the total capacity is unlimited as long as you have someone connecting fresh belts as each one reaches its end.

Mossberg 183KE 410 rifle what ammo does it take?

Mossberg 183 410 is not a rifle it's a bolt action 410 ga shotgun. It takes 410 ga shotgun shells. Very true, some mossberg 183's also have a choke on them. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU DO NOT SHOOT THIS GUN WITHOUT THE CHOKE... if it didnt come with a choke then no worries... anyway im sure you know this as anyone does but i thought id throw that in there. and to improve on the answer, the 183 is designed to chamber a 2 3/4 inch or a 3 inch shell. whatever you want to shoot just pick your poison. it will shoot buckshot birdshot and rifled slugs. They are great old guns, and probably one of the more rare guns that i have come across. lucky for me my father in law had one in mint condition that he claims to have fired once since he was young. at any rate keep ahold of that gun, if its in good condition its worth money. and as another correction for the individual answering this in the first place, .410 is not a gague, it is the bore size. but it is a shotgun nonetheless, not a rifle.

Will a Remington 30 pumpaction centerfire rifle shoot 30-30 or 30-06 ammo?

The manufacturer put the gun's caliber on the barrel for a reason. If the ammo box dosent say exactly that, it could be because its made by a company other than the oem stuff, or just wrong. Dont blandly accept the word of the clerk who happens to be at the ammo ciunter; dont be afraid/ embarassed to get the gunsmith, or several other clerks to help you clarify your understandable confusion. Some ammo IS interchangeable, differring in name only by rifling twist. There IS NO interchangeability between 30 remington, and ANYTHING ELSE. You're welcome, goodluck, and goodday
