That varies depending on the cartridge, and how far the bullet is from the firearm in flight. Bullets are heated both from the explosion of gunpowder, and friction as they are forced up the barrel, but begin to cool very quickly. A physics group made a study of measuring the temperature of a bullet in flight using high speed cameras that could measure temperatures from the infrared light emitted by a hot object. Using a 5.56mm firearm (similar to the M16) they found that the bullet was about 513 degrees F measured about 10 ft from the muzzle.
What else can I help you with?
A bullet dropped versus a bullet fired from a gun which has greater acceleration?
The bullet fired from a gun has greater horizontal acceleration. For vertical acceleration, they are both the same.
Is a bullet fired into a gel or into what material when trying to identify the gun a bullet is fired from?
I used gelatin or a large water tank.
Where does a bullet goes after fired to the sky?
When a bullet is fired into the sky, it will eventually stop becasue it has run out of energy and fall back to the ground.
If a bullet was fired down through the earth's atmosphere how long would it take and how fast would it be?
That would depend on the mass of the bullet, the bullet's velocity when it left the barrel of the gun, and from how high up the bullet was fired from.
How does a bullet become hot?
When a bullet is fired, the gunpowder ignites and creates hot gases that propel the bullet out of the barrel at high speeds. Friction between the bullet and the barrel also generates heat. Additionally, air resistance as the bullet travels through the air can further heat it up.
Can a bullet knock someone over?
Yes, a bullet can potentially knock someone over with the force of impact. However, there are many variables that can influence the effect of a bullet, such as the caliber of the bullet, the distance it is fired from, and where it strikes the body.
When a bullet is fired the gun recoils?
Yes.
Who bullet is fired?
Wilkes Booth John.
If a bullet is fired out of a fighter jet traveling Max speed does the bullet travel faster than if it were fired at a stand still?
No. The bullet will actually travel much slower due to wind resistance.
Can you distinguish between a bullet fired from a .38 caliber and one fired from a 9mm?
Yes
What markings on a fired bullet are compared microscopically?
hash marks or lines running parallel with the casing, caused by the inside of the barrel of the gun as the bullet travels out when fired
What temp is a bullet when it fired?
When a bullet is fired, it can reach temperatures as high as 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit due to the combustion of gunpowder and friction during the firing process.
