A few feet. If not contained within a gun barrel, such as being tossed into a fire, the bullet will be pushed in one direction, and the cartridge case in another.

A bullet that has left the barrel has marks left from its travel down the barrel.


Does a bullet of the same caliber travel faster if fired through a rifle rather than a pistol?

a bullet of the same caliber and same grains of powder fired from a long barrel will have a higher muzzle velocity than if fired from a short barrel.


How far does a bullet travel fired from 40 caliber pistol travel?

It depends on several factors, such as barrel length and the cartridge specifications, but in general, hangun bullets can travel about a mile on average.


Does a higher muzzle velocity equal a longer range?

All other factors equal (bullet mass & frontal area, angle of barrel, etc) a higher muzzle velocity will make the bullet travel further horizontally as if falls to the ground. If the barrel is level when fired , the bullet will hit the ground at the same time as a bullet dropped simutaneously from muzzle height


When you fire a gun what force affect the bullet as it leaves the barrel and flies through the air?

When a gun is fired, the force that affects the bullet as it leaves the barrel and travels through the air is the explosive force generated by the gunpowder igniting and rapidly expanding gases, propelling the bullet forward. This force propels the bullet through the barrel and imparts momentum to it, allowing it to overcome air resistance and travel towards its target.


What effect does rifleing in the barrel of a gun have?

It makes the bullet spin when it is fired- much the same way a football spins in flight. The helps the bullet travel in a straight line, improving the accuracy of the gun.

How far does a 115 Gr 9 mm bullet travel?

The distance a 115 gr 9mm bullet can travel depends on various factors such as the muzzle velocity, barrel length, bullet design, and atmospheric conditions. On average, a 115 gr 9mm bullet fired from a typical handgun can travel up to around 1000-1500 meters (3280-4921 feet) before losing its effectiveness.


How fast does a bullet travel fired from a 45 pistol travel?

It depends on the specific cartridge and the length of the barrel of the gun, but in general, usually between about 800 and 1100 feet per second.


What causes a bullet or projectile to travel down the barrel of a firearm and exit at the muzzle?

When gunpowder detonates, it creates a gaseous byproduct which expands very rapidly. The expansion of this gas is what propels the cartridge through the barrel.

How does the spiral barrel on a gun work?

If you mean the spiral grooves inside of a rifle barrel- those are the lands (high spots) and grooves (low spots) that make up rifling. The bullet, being softer than the steel of the barrel, is pushed into the rifling when fired. The lands cut into the outer edge of the bullet, gripping it, and causes the bullet to rotate with the spiral. This rotation causes the bullet to travel in a straight line as it passes through the air- and is much more accurate than a smoothbore (no rifling) barrel. Ever notice how a football spins when a pass is thrown? Same thing.
