A bullet is a single projectile designed to be fired from a firearm, so it cannot fire other bullets. Instead, each bullet is loaded into a cartridge, which is then chambered in the firearm. When the firearm is discharged, only one bullet is fired at a time unless it is a semi-automatic or automatic weapon designed to fire multiple rounds in rapid succession. In those cases, the firearm still fires one bullet per trigger pull or cycle.
Bullets will drop almost the same vertical distance in equal time. The limitation is the vertical drag force on the bullet. If fired in a flat trajectory, a bullet will start with no vertical velocity. As it continues on its path however, the force of gravity will impart some vertical velocity to it. Initially the vertical component of the drag force will be negligible, but the longer it flies, the faster it drops. At some point the drag force becomes noticeable and the roughness of the bullet surface and geometry of the bullet begin to play a role in how much vertical drag force is exhibited. Most of the time a bullet will hit its target before this effect makes much difference, but if you fired two different bullets from the top of a very high mountain and tracked their flight you would probably find them dropping at different speeds towards the end of their flight.
In "The Matrix" trilogy, an estimated total of around 800,000 bullets were fired across the three films. The striking visual style and action sequences, particularly the iconic slow-motion "bullet time" effects, contribute to this high number. However, exact figures can vary based on interpretations and specific scene breakdowns.
If a gun was parallel with the earth and was fired and at that very instant someone standing by the barrel dropped a bullet from beside the barrel, both bullets would hit the ground at the same time. Bullets start falling the instant they leave the end of the gun barrel. That is why hunters hold their rifles at an upward angle. It looks like the bullet will shoot up into the sky. The bullet will follow a curved path toward its target.
A bullet can be seen when held in a hand but not moving when shot out of a gun. Yes! I was shooting at an indoor range recently, and I actually saw the bullets coming out of a 9mm handgun. The lighting was just right, the bullets had shiny copper jackets, and I could see each shot fly to the target! It was just a bright streak for a split second, but I actually saw it every time he fired.
In theory, if a bullet dropped vertically at the same instant that a bullet is fired horizontally from a gun at the same height, they should both hit the ground at the same time.This example is used to emphasize that that horizontal motion and vertical motion may be analysed separately since they occur independently of each other.This is one of those things that works better in theory than in practice.There is a caveat that is important if you consider doing this in the real world. The process is not happening in a vacuum. The aerodynamics of the bullet fired at high speed is tremendously important. In early gun design, this was not understood and bullets fired from guns were very inaccurate and went up or down or right or left in unpredictable ways. Modern guns stabilize the trajectory by putting a spin on the bullet. The result makes the bullet act like a gyroscope and then to remain pointed forward when it encounters small anomalies in the air and wind. So, the moving bullet is subjected to vertical forces and can not be expected to drop at the same rate as a bullet with no horizontal motion.The principle of independent horizontal and vertical motion works better when illustrated by throwing and dropping heavy rocks. The principle is entirely correct, but there are more vertical forces involved than gravity with the bullets.
Yes, it can and it has. If a witness can be found that has seen a suspected gun fired at another place or time and those previously fired bullets can be recovered, they can be compared positively or negatively to the bullets used in a crime. This situation has occurred in a number of real cases and was effective evidence in court against a defendant who had disposed of the gun used in the crime when the gun could not be found.
Technically, yes. There are many variables to consider though like recoil, wind resistance, the barrel of the weapon, etc. The Mythbusters actually did that test. You could probably find that video somewhere.
Both bullets would hit the ground at the same time, regardless of their initial velocities. This is due to the fact that in the absence of air resistance, the only force acting on the bullets is gravity, which causes all objects to fall at the same rate regardless of their mass or initial velocity.
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.
ALL items- large or small- fall at the same speed when affected by gravity. A large bullet and a small bullet, both fired parallel to the ground, will hit at the same time if fired at the same time from the same distance above ground. The FASTER will hit further away, but at the same time.
ballistics is the science of launching projectiles flying through the air and hitting a precise target. a bullets trajectory ballistics are affected by: -the weight, size and shape of the bullet. -the amount and type of gunpowder used. -the weapon the bullet is fired from. - gravity -weather conditions like rain, wind, temperature, altitude, humidity and the brightness of the sun - the coreolis effect. As a bullet flies through the air it takes a certain amount of time to reach its target. in that time the earth beneath the bullet is still rotating at 1,674.4 km/h, so in the time your bullet reaches its target it will have moved a bit. and a last word of advise, don't play with guns.
380 and 9mm projectiles are .355 in diameter _________________________ Most of the time, when people use the term 9mm, they are referring to a 9mm parabellum. A 9mm parabellum cannot be fired from a .380. The 9mm cartridge is longer. _________________________ The BULLET is the part of the cartridge that is the projectile. While 9mm parabellum and .380 ACP use the same diameter bullets, the CARTRIDGES are not interchangeable.
