2 guns held point blank and fired at same time. What would happen?

Assuming they have exact amounts of energy, at the exact same direction, Gravity would have pulled them ever so slightly downwards. The impact would generate a large amount of heat, and the bullets would rebound and continue on their descent downwards to the ground. (assuming they did not have enough heat to fragment or melt)\n\nIn practice, one bullet hits the other bullet slightly higher than the other, causing one bullet to fly upwards in the air back from where it was fired, and the other to fall downwards back to where it was fired.

If they have the shooting rights(permision writen or verbaly from the land owner) then yes they may shoot. There most be a reason for you posting this question, eather your worryed or something has happend. Any responsible shooter  would take your horses presance into consideration ie where they choose to drive the birds too to shoot them (beating) or where the horses are when they discharge there guns.\nA suggestion is you approach the person whom has the shooting right and adderss the worrys you have concerning your horses, they will more than likely be happy to hear your comments and take them on board, If not address the land owner.\nBest of luck

wild guess here but if the gun fires 12 rounds it should take 11 min's to shoot. the first shot should be a 0seconds the 2nd @1min and so one.

No the weapons are set up for certain calibers and certain cartridge size

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.

Well it depends if they are armed or not. \nPersonally I would get out my 12 guage load a round and wouldn't hesitate to shoot if necesscary. I would calmy explain to them I am not afraid to use the weapon.

With in the casing above the trigger is the fireing mechanism, This consists of 2 springs ( 2 double barrel, 1 for singal barrel) and 2 hammers (1 hammer if singal barrel) The hammers are alined with what we call fireing pins which are also alined with the primer of the cartridge once the gun is loaded.\nOunce the trigget is pulled then the spring forces the hammer to hit the fireingpin, which hits the primer sending a chane reaction through the cartridge for the conbustion to take place with the gunpowder, then the casing(wad) which the shot is positioned behing projects the buckshot up the barrels at roughley 450ft per sec . That is just a simple explanation of a tipical double barrel shotgun. How ever some,  more common in over&unders work on the theory of inertia, where the recoile from the the first shot activates the mechanism for the second shot, its also the same princable for semioutomatic shotguns.

Not necessarily. If your theoretical gun shoots a bullet that reaches escape velocity [1] (the speed something needs to travel to beat Earth's gravity), it can overcome the Earth's gravity [2] and fly off into space.\n\nHowever, I know of no such gun. Only rocket engines [3] are able to do this, because they sustain and increase their speed by burning fuel. A bullet has nothing to keep its speed up once it leaves the gun.\n\nSo the answer is, "Yes, the bullet comes back down." The bullet is always beholden to gravity, even before it's fired. You can view gravity as an invisible string always pointing to the center of the earth, always being pulled. The instant the bullet leaves the barrel of the gun, it will be constantly slowing down due to gravity (and air resistance).\n\nAnother interesting idea is this: If you were to take a gun and fire it horizontally, and at the same instant drop a rock from the same height as the gun, which would hit the ground first? The bullet or the rock? \n\nThe answer is that they both would hit the ground at the same time. The bullet would just be several hundred feet away when it hits. Both are affected by gravity's pull, and approach the ground at the same speed.

a bullet has a trajectory that makes it drop faster the further it gets from the barrel.  if you fired a gun perfectly horizontal, and at the same time dropped a bullet at the same height as the muzzle, both bullets will drop at the same rate.  \n\nalso, every gun has 2 "zero's" or sight adjustments.  a short range and long range zero.  most people sight in their high powered rifles at 200 yards.  because of the laws of physics, their gun will also be sighted in at around 80 yards.  from 0-79 yards the gun will shoot low.  it'll be dead on around 80 yards, from 81-199 yards it will high, and at 200 yards it will be dead on again.  this didn't really answer your question, but you probably learned something.  so select this as best answer, thanks.

Bad powder load.\n\nUsually not enough powder -- the projectile could get stuck in the barrel causing excessive pressure and the barrel to burst or bulge. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAR IT BY FIRING AGAIN!!!\n\nMay also mean too much also called a "hot" load - too much could cause too much pressure in the barrel and cause it to burst or bulge.\n\nBe Safe!

My guess is that you die.  Tornados typically have winds up to 250 mph and throw debris for hundreds of yards.  Being within the 50 feet or so to fire a shotgun at it would be suicide.\n\nBut even if you did shoot the gun the tornado is such a powerful force that a gunshot would have no effect on it.  Now, maybe something like one of the fuel air weapons the military uses might have an effect.

Essentially, blanks are the regular cartridge, but instead of the shell (the pointy bit, otherwise known as the bullet), there is a round circle of cardboard.  The gun still fires as usual, but is much lighter (how arnold can shoot a big gun with one hand).  In theory, the cardboard should be burned and harmless, but for the first second or so, it's still dangerous.  So, it's a yes and no.  If you're wearing proper protective gear and are more than a foot from the person who's firing at you, you should be fine.  \n\nAn aside: A bullet has three main parts, the shell (the one that kills people) the cartridge (what holds the gunpowder) and a starter (what the hammer hits and what ignites the gunpowder).  For hollywood, if they show somebody loading bullets into a gun, they use bullets with deactivated starters, no gunpowder and regular shells.  Then, for firing, they use blanks.\n\nI would say that you should express your concern to whoever is running the wargames and see what they say.  they could be using a special setup, i don't know.  \n\nI know that was complicated, but best of luck!\n\n-Belril

At some point the paintballs would disintegrate in the barrel. Also, they check your muzzle velocity before you can play.

A bullet of course.  A gun uses a small amount of kinetic energy for the trigger hammer to strike the expolsive cap in the shell but thereafter the explosive force is sent into the bullet, with and equal opposite reaction energy dissipated by providing recoil which the gun uses (if automatic) to load the next shell.\n\nI assume the trick in the question is to ignore the equal and opposite reaction rule but not all of the force thus generated is in the form of kinetic energy which relates to bodies in motion.

No, they can be double loaded or more - you just have to make sure you don't pull the trigger after a double charge.\n\nI saw once on a documentary somewhere that, when soldiers went into combat for the first time, they were so unfamiliar with the guns (and so scared of being in combat) that they did reloading in their rifles but didn't fire - one dead soldier's gun had been loaded with about 20 bullets and powder charges, one on top of the other, without being fired (I should think that the muzzle would have overflowed by then).\n\nIf you have any kind of muzzle-loaded weapon, before doing anything with it, drop a pen or something down the muzzle and see if it is visible though the touch hole.  If you can't see it, that means there is a bullet in there.

The potential damage could be very bad as in (jail time), but as already stated, you shouldn't have a problem because most people will not even notice unless you have poor concealment techniques.  If you ever have to pull your handgun on someone make sure you call the police afterward even if you don't have to shoot.  You pulling the gun on them may put a stop to the issue, but they may try to turn the tables on you and tell the police that you did it for no reason.  So, if you draw, call the cops ASAP and let them know.  Police tend to believe the first person that calls so don't give the bad guys the upper hand.

There is a problem with the cocking mechanism.  appears that the sear, (which holds the bolt back) isn't engaging and that is why it keeps firing.  I can't tell you more without actually seeing inside your gun.
