What forces act on the bullet being dropped and the bullet being shot?

There are no horizontal forces acting on it and it only experiences the downward acceleration of earth’s gravity. The correct answer is not quite, since there are complex lift and drag forces on the moving bullet. Generally the fired bullet will land a little after the dropped bullet.

Can 2 bullets collide in mid air?

During the Civil War, two soldiers’ bullets collided in midair and fused together. The fired bullet hit dead center, and the MythBusters found that both bullets had fused together into a single mass. Though incredibly unlikely, it is possible for two bullets to collide and fuse together in midair.

Can you fire a shotgun shell with a hammer?

You can set off a shotshell by hitting it with a hammer, but it is somewhat unlikely. Primers are set in a bit deeper to prevent just such a circumstance from happening. You would likely have to have something protruding to hit the primer. Some people have done this with a hammer and nail, for instance.

Can you accidentally set off a shotgun shell?

Such an event would be exceptionally rare. Its primer would have to strike a hard and sharp object similar to the end of a firing pin with some force in order to detonate the primer and powder inside the shot shell.

Can you set off a bullet?

Can you fire a bullet with your finger?

The answer you are looking for is no. The point of bullets is to kill people. If you tried, you would find the bullet goes by too fast to see, much less reach out and catch. If the bullet hit your fingers, most likely they would be shot off.

Can u catch a bullet with your teeth?

Yes. The “bullet catch” is a common magic trick in which a magician appears to catch a fired bullet in mid-flight—often between their teeth. This an illusion, of course; it’s not possible to catch a bullet like that.

Can brick stop a bullet?

A small 9mm bullet can pass through six interior walls and out the other side provided it does not hit a stud. As far as things that you typically find inside a home, almost none of them can stop a bullet. You might think that brick and stone walls offer decent cover, but masonry tends to shatter when hit with bullets.

Can a gun shoot through brick?

There are a lot of factors to consider — including bullet construction, angle of impact, and so on. However, virtually any centerfire rifle will penetrate a brick wall. Some may not ALWAYS penetrate, but if a few shots are fired into the same area, they’ll start coming through.

Will 5.56 go through a person?

The truth is: almost any round that will penetrate deeply enough to hit vital organs in the human body (and stop an attacker) will penetrate typical interior home walls. That’s because most walls are made up of little more than a couple 2×4 wood studs and drywall on each side.
