SHORT AND LONG BARREL BULLETS

The ammunition used in firearms with an igniter and a bullet at the end of the barrel with gunpowder in a metal bucket is called a cartridge .
The cartridge consists of four main parts.

First Section:  The tip of the cartridge is called the core, the bullet with its common name.
Part Two: The  cartridge case. The cartridge case, which is a metal cylinder with one side closed, contains gunpowder. The mouth part is not closed for the bullet to come out.
Third Part:  When gunpowder is burned by firing, it separates the bullet from the cartridge with the pressure it creates and pushes it out of the barrel.
Section Four: The  capsule is located at the rear end of the cartridge case. It fires the gunpowder when the trigger is pulled.
 

SHORT BARREL BULLETS

LONG BARREL BULLETS

 

The bullet that comes out of the gun barrel at high speed has kinetic energy. Its unit is Joule.

E= ½ m. V2 Barrel Energy = ½ (bullet core weight x Velocity2)

 

Although kinetic energy is the subject of "Target Ballistics" of ballistics, which is a sub-branch of physics, it is generally used to determine the power of the bullet in the bulletproof materials literature.

 

Sample

7.62×51 mm G3 Infantry Rifle Projectile;

Bullet Weight: 9.5 gr
Muzzle Velocity: 830 m/s
E= ½ m.V2
E = ½ x 9.5 gr x 830 2
E = 3270 Joules

Sample

9×19mm Parabellum Pistol Bullet;

Bullet Weight: 8 gr
Muzzle Velocity: 400 m/s
E= ½ m.V2
E = ½ x 8 gr x 400 2
E = 640 Joules
