Hey bud, I am just asking a question and hoping for some true numbers, not some carping on by somebody. Nobody yet has really answered the question.
The question was. [b]What angle would the bullet have to leave the barrel in order for the impact to be around 150-200 fps?[/b]
Not, hey man, how do I kill someone from 6 miles away? For the love of God! I have not ever done this! I was having a discussion with a friend about a slingshot, and it turned into questions about falling pieces of metal. Maybe I should have been clearer. (why, I don't know)
Matt-S, I am not talking about a 600 gr. BMG round. Dogfights take place at all angles, including downward. The particular bullet in question would strike sideways, and so I doubt that penetration would be an issue.
[b]My theory is that there is a particular angle where a 55 gr. bullet can be fired, but fall to the ground with begnin consequecnces. I was wondering what that angle would be? 25,35,45?[/b]
Don't give me pat answers about some 13 year old, or heresay from somebody's dad who got hit from God knows where. [b]I am aware of this already, and have taken rifle safety courses.[/b]
I just want to know the facts. I am [b]not[/b] planning on doing this!
