.22 is a low-velocity bullet. But it is known to succesfully hit a very-very distant target. How ?

as someone pointed out. it could be because of a very large angular rotation decreasing the air resistance.

If the bullet is fired in the horizontel direction, both object will reach ground at the same time.. because they are reaching ground due to vertical gravitational acceleration only which is same for both.\n\nBut if the bullet is fired in the downward direction and at an angle downwards, it will reach grounf first because it is having a initial velocity as well whereas the initial velocity for the other object is zero.. The reverse holds true if the bullet is fired upwards.

Firing at a target that is immediately in front of the weapon.  Ranges are usually measured in yards, for example 3.5yd = "three point five yards".  When you fire so close that it is immeasurable, it is 0.0yd.  People dropped the first "zero", and slang made the second zero read as "blank", so 0.0yd became "point blank" range.

Assuming you fire parallel to the ground, then the bullet will be at its maximum horizontal velocity when it leaves the barrel, and will be at minimum vertical velocity.  The bullet cannot increase in horizontal speed once it has left the barrel, as there is nothing to make it accelerate.\n\nDue to air resistance, the horizontal velocity will decrease as the bullet travels further and further.  The vertical velocity will increase, as the gravity of the Earth "attracts" the bullet.

When bullets are fired straight into the air they go well.....up.  Just like you and me when we jump on a trampoline eventually gravity will get the better of it and it will start coming back down.  Now if that were the only thing to take into account it would just come straight back down and thump you on the head, but because of extra forces caused by air flow and rotation the bullet won't go exactly straight up and down (thankfully).  Now a bullet that's shot straight up is going an average 900 m/s, which means it'll get up about 4,000 meters in the air and when taking into account air resistance it'll come back down with a speed of about 100 m/s.  This is a fraction of the speed but is still fast enough to pierce human flesh.  To answer the final question, the apogee is the highest point that the bullet reaches.

The slowest muzzle velocity ammo is faster than the speed of sound, add reaction time of deer to it, no. Multiple shots possibly afford some escape time.

You really can't reduce the shot pattern in a .22 without modifying the weapon. The best answer i can give you is simply to shorten your shooting range. If you want a tighter group with a .22 shotshell, shoot closer. Your only other option is to try a few different ammunition manufacturers to see which round groups best from your particular gun. I know i get excellent results from CCI .22mag shotshells in my Heritage Arms Rough Rider, while most other ammo gives a much wider spread.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nThe 9mm pistol (or .380 which is a 9mm Short) fires a bullet that is .355" in diameter. The .38 Special and .357 Magnum fire a bullet that is nominally .357" to .358" in diameter.\n\nRifle cartridges that fire bullets whose diameter is close to the 9mm would include:\n.35 Remington (.358" diameter)\n.350 Remington Magnum (.358" diameter)\n.35 Whelen (.358" diameter)\nnot to mention rifles specifically chambered for either the 9mm or .38/.357 cartridges.\n\nNOTE: Most of the bullets used for the actual rifle cartridges can not be safely loaded into a 9mm or .38/.357 cartridge!\n\nMany shooters would load .358 pistol bullets in these larger rifles for very short-range, low velocity practice.

From your point of view on the plane (as well as the point of view of any other aircraft traveling the same speed and the same direction), the velocity of the projectile will appear to be the same whether fired forward or backward. However, the velocity will drop off faster when fired forward from the plane than it would on the ground due to the increased wind resistance produced by the head wind.\n\nFrom the point of view of someone on the ground, the speed of the bullet would be added to the speed of the plane when fired forward and subtracted from the plane when fired backward.\n\nUltimately, the velocity of any object is relative to the reference frame of the observer.

If the only factor involved in this would be gravity, the bullet would come back down at the same speed as it went up. But since there are other factors (friction, air, etc), the bullet would come down with less speed than it went up.\n\nThe same would happen with the place where it was fired, it probably wouldnt land on the same spot, since other factors have an effect on the bullet trayectory.\n\nchech the link from digg and wait for the episode of Mythbusters where they solve this myth ...

That answer is pretty much correct.  \n\nThere are a few misleading calibers...\n\na .357 is really .38\n\na 30-06 is 30 caliber but was invented in 1906.\n\na 30-30 is a 30 caliber and has 30 grains of black powder behind it.\n\n.220 .221 .222 .223 .224 etc calibers all use the same bullet.\n\na .22 mag case will not fit in a regular .22 chamber.

Oh yeah i love it. I have been shooting since i was about 6 years old, i have a trap in my back yard for a .22 with low velocity rounds so al you hear is the firing pin and the the smack as it hits the target. I also use a .45 auto, and a 3030 winchester.

Depends on the gun and the bullet.  Different kinds of bullets have aerodynamic designs and powder charges that vary their speed when leaving the barrel.  For most handguns (say a Colt .38), that speed is around 300 meters per second.  On other kinds of wapons (say a Desert Eagle Cal. .50) The speed can go to around 400 meters per second with a heavier projectile, and so on.

It is the reaction of shooting force on gun's body. let m=bullet mass and M=gun mass. Then if bullet is shot from gun by velocity of v, the recoil velocity would be V=m*v/(m+M) and its shock is M*V=m*M*v/(m+M)\n\nIt does not depend of gun/bullet type.\n\nIf you want to measure it, you must first measure the mass of bullet and empty gun, then measure the bullet shooting speed. This measurement could be done using a common method of shooting to a tough wooden block, which is hung by four equal size lines from a support. You must measure the maximum height (vertically) of displacement of block after shooting (name it H). Then if the mass of block be MB, then the speed of bullet when going out of gun can be calculated as follows:\n\n(MB+m)*g*H=1/2*m*v^2 then v=sqrt[2*(MB+m)*g*H/m]\nwhere m=bullet mass and g=9.81N/m^2 (gravity factor)\n\nAll units are metric (mass=grams; H=meters; v=meters/second)\n\nGood luck!

Yes, Indirect Fire means that the person aiming the weapon cannot see the target, he is relying on the precision of the 'spotter' or forward observer.\n\nThis is for many different types of heavy weapons, to include mortars, but also artillery, rockets, fire from gunships or from warships, etc.

If this is true, then you may be aware of the "fact" that if someone shoots an arrow at you, it will never hit you, because after a certain amount of time after being shot, the arrow is halfway to you; then more time goes by and the arrow is half of that distance, then more time and half of that, etc. so there is always half of some distance left and some time left so it never hits you.
