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.

Are 308 caliber and 7.62 X 51 the same size?

Yes, 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.


How do you calculate barrels per inch?

To calculate barrels per inch, you need to know the volume of the barrel in gallons and the dimensions of the barrel in inches. First, convert the barrel volume to cubic inches (1 barrel = 31.5 gallons = 3,785.41 cubic inches). Then, divide the total volume of the barrel by the height of the barrel in inches. The formula is: Barrels per inch = (Volume of the barrel in cubic inches) / (Height of the barrel in inches).

What percent of data falls above Q1?

In a standard distribution, the first quartile (Q1) represents the 25th percentile of the data. This means that 25% of the data falls below Q1, and consequently, 75% of the data falls above Q1. Therefore, 75% of the data is above Q1.


How do you clean 556 barrel?

To clean a 5.56 barrel, first ensure the firearm is unloaded and safe. Use a cleaning rod with a suitable bore brush to remove carbon deposits from the barrel's interior, followed by a patch soaked in a solvent to dissolve any remaining fouling. After several passes, run dry patches through the barrel until they come out clean. Finally, apply a light coat of gun oil to protect the bore from corrosion.

When a rifle is fired horizontally the bullet leaves the barrel and doesnt drop at all for the first 35 meters of flight Is this true?

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.

To Go over the Niagara Falls in a barrel


A bullet is fired horizontally out of a gun at the same time another is dropped from the end of the barrelthe one to hit the ground first is?

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.

Can a bullet fired straight up in the air kill someone on the ground when it comes back down?

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.
