How do hollow-point bullets work?
The hollow in the tip of the bullet allows soft tissue to enter into the bullet causing rapid expantion.The hole in the center of the bullet allows for the bullet to expand to a wider diameter upon impact. Thusfore causing greater damage to the targetA hollow point has a pit or hollowed out shape in its tip, generally intended to cause the bullet to expand upon entering a target in order to decrease penetration and disrupt more tissue as it travels through the target. They are also used to control penetration, such as in situations where over penetration could cause collateral damage (such as on an airplane). Jacketed hollow points (JHPs) or plated hollow points are covered in a coating of harder metal to increase bullet strength and to prevent fouling the barrel with lead stripped from the bullet. The term hollow-cavity bullet is used to describe a hollow point where the hollow is unusually large, sometimes dominating the volume of the bullet, and causes extreme expansion or fragmentation on impact.
Will a 380 bullet go through drywall?
Yes, several layers of drywall in fact if the bullet is FMJ ( full metal jacketed). Hollow points have less penetration in drywall and anything else for that matter.
Is the speed of lead bullet is greater or less as compared with rubber bullet and its reason?
"Rubber" bullets are usually intended as a "less lethal" form of crowd control. MOST of these are VERY large projectiles- between 1 and 2 INCHES in diameter. They travel much slower than a lead bullet, since they are intended to inflict pain, not death. However, a rubber bullet CAN cause death, depending on where a person is struck. We don't usually think of a brick as a lethal weapon, but if you got whacked in the head with a brick, it COULD kill you. Same thing with rubber bullets.
Is there is a special gun that shoots a non lethal projectile for self defense?
Most of your "less lethal" (none are billed as non-lethal anymore) projectiles are intended to be fired through a standard firearm. You might, however, be thinking of a gas pistol, which is incapable of firing live ammunition.
How much gunpowder does an average bullet have?
The amount of gunpowder in an average bullet varies depending on the type and caliber of the cartridge. Typically, a standard centerfire bullet contains about 3 to 5 grains of smokeless powder, which translates to roughly 0.2 to 0.3 grams. Rimfire cartridges may have slightly less. Overall, the specific amount can differ based on the bullet's design and intended use.
Are less lethal weapons legal?
The use of non-lethal weapons are regulated by the various states and country. You have to check the laws in your specific jurisdiction.
Why are lethal dominant alleles less common than lethal recessive alleles?
Lethal dominant alleles are less common than lethal recessive alleles because individuals with lethal dominant alleles typically die before they can pass on the harmful gene to their offspring, reducing the frequency of the allele in the population. In contrast, individuals with lethal recessive alleles can carry the gene without showing symptoms, allowing the allele to persist in the population through carriers who can pass it on to their offspring.
Why are some bones hollow?
All birds have hollow boneds don't they? So they weigh less (they fly you know)
What is less lethal weapon?
Weapons used (mainly) by law enforcement officers. They are not intended to cause death (although they MAY- the term is LESS Lethal, not non-lethal) to rather to disable a person. An example might be a shotgun that fires a "beanbag" projectile rather than lead shot, or a TASER.
Are there any nonlethal and legal bullets?
Yes there is, its called "less lethal ammunition" not nonlethal as anything that you shoot at someone could possible kill them if it hits a vital area or hits them just right. Go here to look at all the different manufacturers of less lethal ammunition http:/directory.officer.com/buyersguide/WEAPONS_-_AMMUNITION/Less-lethal_ammunition/index.html Also this is a good description of what less lethal is all about: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Less-lethal_weapon Be safe..
Why is it necessary for birds bones to be hollow?
They are not hollow exactly, more honey-comb. This makes for less weight, essential to flight.
Why is lethal injection approved to be a means of death penalty?
Because it is considered to be less painful.
