  2. Muzzle velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_velocity

    For projectiles in unpowered flight, its velocity is highest at leaving the muzzle and drops off steadily because of air resistance.Projectiles traveling less than the speed of sound (about 340 m/s (1,100 ft/s) in dry air at sea level) are subsonic, while those traveling faster are supersonic and thus can travel a substantial distance and even hit a target before a nearby observer hears the ...

  3. Power factor (shooting sports) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor_(shooting_sports)

    The imperial unit kilograin foot per second (kgr⋅ft/s). "Grain foot per second" (gr·ft/s) can be obtained by measuring the mass in grains (gr) (7,000 to the pound) and velocity in feet per second (ft/s), but since their product yields a very large number it is common to multiply by a factor of 1 ⁄ 1000, obtaining the power factor in kilo ...

  4. .22 long rifle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_Long_Rifle

    A .22 LR bullet is capable of traveling 2,000 yards (1,800 m), which is more than 1 mile (1.6 km). [19] Rimfire bullets are generally either plain lead with a wax coating (for standard-velocity loads) or plated with copper or gilding metal (for high-velocity or hyper-velocity loads). The thin copper layer on plated bullet functions as a ...

  5. Subsonic ammunition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsonic_ammunition

    In this instance, heavier bullets are loaded in standard ammunition, which reduces muzzle velocity below the speed of sound. As an example, the very common 9×19mm Parabellum standard military round is a 7.5 g (116 gr) bullet at velocities typically around 360 m/s (1,200 ft/s). Subsonic loads for 9×19mm Parabellum commonly use 9.5 g (147 gr ...

  6. .500 S&W Magnum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.500_S&W_Magnum

    This cartridge is compatible with handguns chambered for the .500 S&W Magnum and fires a 350-grain (23 g) bullet at 1,250 feet per second (380 m/s). [11] These low-recoiling alternatives to the full-power .500 S&W Magnum significantly reduce felt recoil, which is especially noticeable in the shorter 4-inch-barrel (100 mm) handguns.

  7. .950 JDJ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.950_JDJ

    The muzzle energy of the .950 JDJ is comparable to the kinetic energy of a 2,800 pounds (1,300 kilograms) automobile traveling at 20 miles per hour (32 kilometres per hour). In a 110 lb (50 kg) rifle, this will develop well over 200 foot-pounds force (270 joules) of free recoil energy.
