Muzzle Veolcities

[Kills On Site]

The topic of muzzle velocities of guns comes up often in physics class, for the obvious reasons. Basically I know an M-16's is 1600 m/s and a 9mm is about 900 m/s, anyone have a list of basic muzzle velocities? Especially of the most powerful sniper rifles.

I'm pretty sure muzzles don't go anywhere

[losCHUNK]

why not ?

havnt they got legs ?

muzzle velocites being defined as the speed at which the bullet is traveling when it leaves the barrel of the gun.

[andyman]

5-10mph lol

It's dependant on the kind of ammunition being used.

You might find the breakdowns here:

But that is not the fastest speed that it reaches.

Does that matter? Most ammunition reaches its top speed inside the barrel.

I'm just saying. It reaches it's top speed outside of the barrel.

Once the gunpowder has stopped combusting, there is no force pushing the bullet forward.

Are you saying the gunpowder hasn't finished exploding by the time the bullet exits the chamber?

Source? As juls inferrs, most propellant burns up before the bullet exits the weapon.

Yeah, on CSI they said that the gasses push the bullet after it exits the muzzle. Neat huh?

being a q3nerd, i have to ask

have rail guns gone past lab prototypes yet?

i recall the lab ones were at 10,000m/s

[Foo]

They're being developed for military purposes. Beyond that there's nothing in active service. Mebbe in ss, who knows.

Main advantage of railguns is constant acceleration along the length of the barrel. Scary shit TBH.

They need superconductors that work at room temperature, so railguns are useless now.

So they have a railgun that fired a 10,000 m/s round? Holy hell. I believe someone made a gauss gun, however its round had a muzzle velocity of 73 MPH, very slow, but a start.

[Kills On Site]

Well according to Wikipedia, the muzzle velocity of an M16 is 974 m/s tops, click and a 9mm as a muzzle velocity of 390 m/s tops click as well it claims that a railgun has one of 3500 m/s click Not saying Wikipedia is always right, but it would seem that they have numbers much lower then us.

Muzzle Velocity...velocity referencing the muzzle...therefore the velocity of the muzzle...
