No, a sabot slug does not rise after it leaves the barrel of a gun. No bullet rises after it leaves the barrel of a gun. It always falls from the line of sight of thebarrel. All firearms have to be "sighted in" a bit high to hit a target downrange. At close range, there is little time for a bullet to drop and hit "low" on the target. Down range, however, the drop is more significant. The more time a bullet is in flight, the more it drops below the line of sight of the barrel. But a bullet always begins to drop below the line of sight of the barrel after it leaves the muzzle. Always.

Approximately how far can a 12 gauge sabot slug travel unobstructed when fired level from sitting height?

When fired level (barrel is paralell to ground) slug begins to fall as soon as it leaves the barrel. Assuming ABOUT 3 feet above ground, and that it takes ABOUT 1/10 of a second for a falling object to drop that far, and that slug is moving ABOUT 1900 fps when fired, it should hit the ground at ABOUT 190 ft. This will vary depending on slope of ground, velocity, height above ground- and whether recoil caused the barrel to rise above level.


Which barrel of a side by side shotgun should fire first?

Assuming your shotgun has two triggers, you can fire either first. If you have one trigger, the order of fire can vary massively...use a gauge to check the bore on your gun, If you don't have one just use a coin and see how far it will go down the front of the barrel, or make a target out of cardboard to see which barrel is the more open barrel, by patterning the barrels. once you know which barrel is the the more open choke, you are ready to determine which barrel you want to shoot first, and as a quail hunter on the rise you will usually shoot the barrel with the more open choke first, saving the tighter choked barrel , as the game gets farther away.

Does a bullets trajectory rise before it drops?

The line of sight of the bore of the firearm is tilted up. When the bullet leaves the barrel, it is traveling up, and will fall back through the line of sight.

Does a 22 cal bullet rise at 75 yards?

no! all bullets fall. A bullet dropped from the edge of a table at the same time a bullet at the same table height leaves a barrel hits the ground at the same time.

Why does a gun barrel rise?

The barrel is usually above the centerline of the gun. When fired, recoil pushes straight back from the line of the barrel, but that is offset above the centerline, and causes the gun to pivot.

How do you determine radius of barrel vault ceiling?

Simple, it it is a true barrel simple find the measurement from inside to inside of your barrel and divide by 2. IF it is not a perfect half circl barrel or true barrel, simple find your chord (measurement inside to inside) and find your rise. Once you have these measurements you can use your diameter formula to figure the radius
