Case
A bullet shot horizontally will experience a vertical acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s^2, which acts downward. However, since there is no vertical propulsion force acting on the bullet, the vertical motion is purely due to gravity.
Components include a cartridge case, a primer, powder and projectile- a bullet or shot.
A shotgun shell contains a plastic or paper hull that houses multiple pellets or shot, rather than a single bullet. Additionally, shotgun shells include a wad that separates the shot from the gunpowder and helps with the shot's dispersion upon firing. In contrast, a cartridge typically contains a single bullet, casing, primer, and gunpowder, designed for use in rifles or handguns.
A .410 3-inch shell typically contains around 1/4 ounce of shot, which translates to approximately 135 pellets of #6 shot, 90 pellets of #7.5 shot, and 70 pellets of #8 shot. The exact number can vary slightly based on the brand and specific load. For larger shot sizes, such as #4, there are fewer pellets due to their larger diameter.
No, the shot bullet will land after the dropped bullet. This is because the shot bullet has an initial horizontal velocity in addition to the vertical acceleration due to gravity, while the dropped bullet only has the vertical acceleration due to gravity.
A bullet wad serves as a spacer and seal in firearm ammunition, specifically in shotgun shells. Its primary functions include keeping the shot or pellets contained, preventing them from shifting during handling, and creating a gas seal that maximizes pressure when the shell is fired. This helps improve accuracy and consistency in shot spread. Additionally, wads can protect the shot from deformation and reduce barrel fouling.
Because that was the way it was loaded into the gun, shot charge, bullet charge, shot charge, bullet charge. If you load it that way, it will shoot that way.
Depends on the size of the shot, whether the shot is lead, steel or something else, the weight of the load and the gauge of the shell. A lead 1 oz load of #6 birdshot is about 225 pellets.
