β 14y agoIf 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.

β 14y agoYes, 308 = 7.62. But the 51 part is variable. The first number is the outer diameter of the bullet. This has to be exactly correct to fit the barrel of the gun. The second number, 51, can be different, and may still work.

Answer #1:Under normal circumstances the less aerodynamic object will fall first. Mass has no direct effect except in the way that it affects the coefficient of drag.===========================Answer #2:If not released at the same time, then the object released first falls first. If both released at the same time, then see Answer #1 above for a detailed description of their behavior.

October 24, 1901 - Annie Taylor was the first person to conquer the falls in a barrel.
Annie Edson Taylor, a 63-year-old schoolteacher, was the first person to ride down Niagara Falls in a pickle barrel on October 24, 1901. Strapped in a leather harness inside the padded barrel, she plunged down Horseshoe Falls and picked up by a boat after. Since that first barrel ride, 15 people have attempted to ride the famous falls, 10 of those survived. Today it is illegal to ride down Niagara Falls.
No its too tall
Annie Taylor's barrel, in which she became the first person to survive going over Niagara Falls, is now displayed at the Niagara Daredevil Exhibit in Niagara Falls, Canada.

No, this statement is not true. When a rifle is fired horizontally, the bullet immediately begins to drop due to gravity as soon as it leaves the barrel. The rate of drop will depend on the muzzle velocity of the bullet and the distance it has traveled.

The bullet fired horizontally will hit the ground first, given that it has an initial horizontal velocity that keeps it moving forward from the moment it leaves the gun. On the other hand, the bullet dropped from the end of the barrel only has the force of gravity acting on it, causing it to fall vertically, which is slower than the horizontal motion of the fired bullet.
To Go over the Niagara Falls in a barrel
Yes, a bullet fired straight up in the air can be lethal when it falls back down to the ground. The force of gravity causes the bullet to accelerate as it falls, potentially reaching a lethal velocity. This phenomenon is known as a "stray bullet" injury.
He was the first person to attempt to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. He failed, however.
