gunpowder burns creating great heat , air pressure increases proportionally , and, like an air rifle, immense pressure creates force on back of slug accelerating it along the tightly fitting gun barrel. Imagine say 20g slug accelerated (assume uniformly) to 2000m/s in 10cm of gun barrel and calculate average force required to do it , this being testimony to gunpowder's tremendous potential energy.
The speed that a bullet travels depends on the weight of the bullet. For example a bullet for a Magnum .357 made by Federal's American Eagle with a 158gr JSP load can travel at a speed of 1351 km/h.
It sounds like a bullet problem, but start with the basics first. Try a lighter powder load, you may be over charging the bullet weight or type of bullet, (pushing the bullet out too fast) If you are using a sabot with a plastic base it may not begrabbing the rifling in the barrel and thus not imparting a spin on the bullet. Second could be the bullet/sabot itself, it may be ever so slightly too small and have the same effect of not grabbing the rifling in the barrel. Try another brand of bullet with a bit heavier grain weight or another sabot size (you may have to psychically measure the sabots) If you are not using sabots then go with another brand of bullet that is larger than what you use now, (even though the stated diameter may be the same, say .490 they can vary enough from brand to brand to make a difference) Try those and if you still get the same result we can go deeper into the technical aspects.
A bullet may pierce a mirror without breaking it if it hits the mirror at a very acute angle or if the mirror is made of toughened material that can absorb the impact without shattering. The angle of impact and the velocity of the bullet both play a role in determining whether the mirror breaks or not.
A bullet fired from a 12 gauge shotgun can travel at speeds ranging from about 1,200 feet per second to over 1,600 feet per second, depending on the specific load and barrel length.
Yes, bullets can go through metal depending on the type of metal and the caliber of the bullet. Thicker or harder metals are more likely to stop or slow down a bullet, while thinner or softer metals may be penetrated more easily.
because the recoil is when the bullet forces the gun back and so the bullet creates the recoil and so it can't make it go just as fast
rilly fast
The primary thing that makes a bullet train go so fast is its low friction and aerodynamic design. Some even use magnets to allow them to float in the air for more speed.
187
in order for the bullet to go a certain speed it needs a certain amount of twist to it. also so it can go farther.
faster than a speeding bullet :)
217 Mph
5 seconds a meter.
4000 fps +
A bullets trains goes fast because of the streamlines in the air.
1776mph over 2000fps
An MP40's muzzle velocity (speed of a bullet upon exiting the barrel) is about 1,250 feet/second.
