Can't be answered without knowing the caliber, bullet weight and if it is fresh or salt water.
The force of the rifle returning back after firing a bullet is smaller than the force on the bullet because the rifle has a larger mass compared to the bullet. According to Newton's third law, force is equal to mass times acceleration, so the force exerted on the rifle is smaller due to the larger mass and slower acceleration compared to the bullet.
A .50 caliber bullet can travel up to 5 miles when fired from a rifle at a high angle. However, the effective range for accurately hitting a target is usually around 1-1.5 miles due to factors such as air resistance, bullet drop, and accuracy limitations.
DEPENDS ON which RIFLE, AND which BULLET. A standard velocity .22 Short has a muzzle velocity of about 1100-1200 feet per second. At the other end of the range, I have a .220 Swift (high powered, bottleneck, centerfire cartridge) that fires a bullet at about 4,200 ft per second. MOST of the others are somewhere between those 2 extremes.
When a bullet is fired from a rifle, a chemical reaction in the gunpowder ignites, rapidly expanding gases build up pressure, and the bullet is propelled out of the barrel at high speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin, improving accuracy and stability. Gravity will eventually cause the bullet to drop due to gravity and air resistance.
No, even elephants can be brought down with a high powered rifle.
The fastest moving bullet can travel at speeds of around 4,000 feet per second (1,219 meters per second) for certain rifle bullets. These high velocities allow the bullet to cover a mile in less than two seconds.
The Shinkansen is also known as the bullet train, it is a high speed railway in Japan
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.
Depends on the .22 cartridge, what weight bullet, and what it is fired in. Some .22s travel slower than the speed of sound (about 1100 fps) some high velocity 22 LR cartridges fired from a rifle reach muzzle velocity of 1750 fps with a 30 grain bullet. The .22 Magnum may reach 2200 fps with the 30 grain bullet.
Drop a bullet from the height you will be holding your weapon when you fire it. The time it take for the dropped bullet to hit the ground is how long it will be in the air after it is fired. (i.e. 1.5 seconds). Now take this time multiplied by the bullet speed of your particular gun (say 3000ft/second) and there you have it...1.5seconds X 3000 ft/second = 4500ft.
About 1.5 miles when fired at a very high angle from a rifle.
