The three bullets on the right show cannelure evolution Schlieren image sequence of a bullet traveling in free-flight, demonstrating the air pressure dynamics surrounding the bullet. A bullet is a kinetic projectile, a component of firearm ammunition that is shot from a gun barrel.
In 1884, the US Ordnance Department increased the bullet weight of the 45–70 to 45–70–500, or a 45 caliber bullet, 70 grains of black powder, and a 500 grain bullet. [3] The new 45-70-500 loading was recorded with a muzzle velocity of 1315.7 feet, and generated 1525 ft lbs of energy at 100 yds, and 562.3 ft lbs of energy at 1,000 yards ...
A cartridge, [1] [2] also known as a round, is a type of pre-assembled firearm ammunition packaging a projectile (bullet, shot, or slug), a propellant substance (smokeless powder, black powder substitute, or black powder) and an ignition device within a metallic, paper, or plastic case that is precisely made to fit within the barrel chamber of ...
20 mm caliber is a specific size of popular autocannon ammunition. The dividing line between smaller-caliber weapons, commonly called "guns", from larger-caliber "cannons" (e.g. machine gun vs. autocannon), is conventionally taken to be the 20 mm round, the smallest caliber of autocannon.
Lead bullet being supported by a wooden cup sabot in a Delvigne gun. A cup sabot supports the base and rear end of a projectile, and the cup material alone can provide both structural support and barrel obturation. When the sabot and projectile exit the muzzle of the gun, air pressure alone on the sabot forces the sabot to release the projectile.

A gun is a device designed to propel a projectile using pressure or explosive force. [1] [2] The projectiles are typically solid, but can also be pressurized liquid (e.g. in water guns/cannons), or gas (e.g. light-gas gun). Solid projectiles may be free-flying (as with bullets and artillery shells) or tethered (as with Tasers, spearguns and ...
