What does the diameter of The bore in a gun mean?
The bore is the inside of the barrel- that is, the hole that the bullet is fired through. The diameter of the bore is measuring how wide the bore is from one side to another.
How far can a revolver shoot?
Depends upon length of revolver barrel, smooth bore or grooved bore, caliber of bullet, grains of powder propelling bullet, weight of grains in bullet, into wind shot or against wind shot, cross wind shot. Go to a shooting range and get some good ideas and answers from experienced shooters. Shooting/reloading manuals have good answers. Hope this helps some.
What is a rifle in simple words?
A rifle is a firearm designed to be fired from the shooter's shoulder that has a rifled barrel. A rifled barrel contains spiral grooves within its bore that impart a spin to the fired bullet thus causing it to be more stable and fly accurately.
Why does a gun put spin on it's bullet when the gun is fired?
Because a spinning bullet travels in a straighter line, for further, than a bullet which is not spinning. So, in a word, "accuracy" is why a gun puts a spin on a bullet. Not all of the guns put spin on the bullet though. Those that do have rifled barrels(grooved on inside). There are also smooth bore guns that do not cause the projectile to spin.
To check for bullet diameter. how do you slug a bore?
have a gunsmith do this, push a slug of close dia through the rifle, and micrometer the bullet. this will give the true bore size.
Why do we rifle a rifle barrel?
The bore is rifled so as to put a spin on the bullet. This spinning gives a greater accuracy to the bullet, especially over that of a smooth bore.
What is the Diameter of a gun bore?
It depends on the caliber of the bullet.
What is the difference between rifled and smoothbore?
Smooth-bore is like a tube, think of it as a straight pipe. Rifling is a pipe with grooves swirling around on the inside of the pipe. This makes the bullet spin as it travels down and leaves the barrel. This spinning makes the bullet fly straighter than a bullet fired from a smooth-boar barrel.
Can you fire a 22 caliber bullet from a 32 caliber hand gun?
No, the .22 cartridge is too small and will fall completely through the cylinder bore of a revolver, or entirely through the chamber and barrel of a semi-automatic pistol.
How do you determine the caliber of a revolver?
You need to have a gunsmith measure out the bore and cylinder.
How does rifling affects the speed of the bullet?
Rifling imparts a spin to the bullet, stabilizing its flight and improving accuracy. This stable flight path can result in a slightly increased muzzle velocity due to reduced air resistance and better alignment with the barrel bore. However, the primary impact of rifling on bullet speed is through its effect on accuracy rather than velocity.
How does a 22 caliber bullet act in the air?
Assuming the bullet is fired from a gun, the bullet will move out of the bore with a high velocity and will immediately begin falling and decelerating. If the bore is rifled, the bullet will also rotate on its long axis (providing stability in flight).
