Best Answer

No. It depends upon the bullet of course, but a handgun bullet usually won't hurt you if it hits you under those conditions. Another answer: Depends on the cartridge: Remember that this is deadly because the bullet and cartridge will go in opposite directions at great speeds. The larger the bullet and powder will determine the velocity and distance.

What are the difference between distance and velocity?

Velocity is how high something goes like if you throw a baseball up. Distance is how far you throw thatbaseball


What is pass through?

When it goes in one side, and out the other, that is a pass through, usually referring to a bullet that goes through and does very little actual damage, not hitting anything vital.


If your moving at 900 feet per second and shoot a bullet that goes 900 feet persecond will the bullet ever leave the barrel?

Yes. The bullet is already moving at 900 fps before it is even fired. When the round leaves the barrel it will be traveling at 1,800 fps. Motion is all relative.


How does it travel from one place to another?

It goes by sedan chair.


How fast does a bullet travel in space?

To figure this out first fire the bullet in a place with zero air on earth and see how fast it goes. The ratio between airless earth-speed and airless space-speed would be the same as the ratio between the bullet's and rifle's(As well as the casing combined with the shooter. Both of these are in a sense part of the rifle temporarily) masses. The bullet would travel slower because the rifle and shooter weigh nothing and therefore offers no solid point for the bullet to push off of. [example] * Bullet mass: Shooter+Rifle+casing mass = 1:100 [example] now take this ratio and make it a fraction... (1/100). *Subtract (1/100)th of the airless earth speed and the remainder will be your space speed. *subtract (99/100) from the original earth speed and you would get how fast you would fly backwards when firing the weapon in space. lol no joke the bullets explosion will move YOU because YOU are weightless. * If you stood on your space ship with magnetic boots and fired the bullet straight above your head, then the bullet would travel faster because the ship is now added to the rifles mass.
