What size hole does a 45 caliber bullet leave once it hits a target?
If you fire a .45 caliber bullet at a paper target, it will leave a .45 inch hole.
Can a .50 caliber bullet kill you if it misses its target?
Yes, a .50 caliber bullet can still cause serious injury or death if it misses its intended target and hits a person. The impact and force of the bullet can cause significant damage to the body, potentially leading to fatal injuries.
Is a 9mm a good defence gun?
this is very controversial subject my father believes a 9mm is a great defense weapon. the problem i have with this caliber is that it velocity is to fast, this means the bullet has the opportunity to travel straight through the target and hit what ever is behind the target. a 45 is slower and heavier bullet. this means that when the bullet hits the target, it delivering all of its kinetic energy when it hits the target. Allowing the shooter to use one bullet rather than 2 or 3 bullets from the 9mm The 9 mm is good for killing from a long distance, but yea if your getting attacked an you shoot the attacker it will take him down.
What does a 25 caliber bullet do to the body?
It disrupts the integrity of what it hits.
What is the projectile part of the cartridge that hits the target called?
The projectile is called a bullet.
Can a 22LR caliber bullet kill someone?
It all depends on the hit. Some hits, it can. Others, it won't.
How far will a .243 caliber rifle bullet travel?
The velocity of a bullet is dependent on many factors. The amount and type of propellant affect velocity, as does the barrel length. The Springfield 30-06 with a 180 grain bullet can have a velocity of 820 meters per second based on a 60 centimeter barrel - again dependent on powder charge and type.
Does the spiraling barrel of an m-16 cause the bullet to tumble?
This spiraling is called rifling. This imparts a stabilizing spin to a projectile. The M16 has a very tight spiral, but the bullet shouldn't tumble until it hits a target. If you picture a bullet, when the narrow tip first hits a target, it will cause the rest of the bullet to tumble, end over end, and often fragment as well.
How does a 22 caliber bullet act in the air?
Assuming the bullet is fired from a gun, the bullet will move out of the bore with a high velocity and will immediately begin falling and decelerating. If the bore is rifled, the bullet will also rotate on its long axis (providing stability in flight).
Is bullet knockdown power only related to velocity irregardless of weight and caliber?
No. The size-weight of the bullet also affects the knockdown power. Power, kinetic energy, force and momentum: they are all related, and each one carries a 'mass' component. It is, more expressly. the size of the Force or momentum of a moving object that determines its affect on other objects; and force and momentum are directly determined by both - the speed of the moving object and the size of its mass. As it requires a greater force to move the larger bullet in the first place, which therefore means greater energy expended to do so, so at the other end that greater energy is conserved in the larger bullet, and therefore hits its target with greater force and energy.
How is the force of gravitation counteracted by firing a gun?
It isn't.Gravity is always acting on the bullet, from the time it rests on the breech to the time it hits target, and every point in between.At the beginning of its motion, the bullet has velocity in a particular direction. Gravity accelerates the bullet 'downwards' and alters the velocity at each point in time and space. Eventually, the combination of the previous motion and the present velocity makes it strike a target, at which point forces in the target and bullet result in all motion ceasing, and these forces become balanced.
What is the most deadly bullet?
DRT ammo. Frangible round, a fine powder surrounded in copper. 9mm,40 s&w,5.56 nato,308 winchester. Made by Dynamic Research Technologies. Nickname "dead right there". It will go through a door, but will not go through a body. When the bullet hits a ballistic material it explodes and the powder goes into everything in about a 5" radius.
