Does a rifle bullet rise after it leaves the barrel of the gun?

No. It neither rises nor, as some shooters believe, "goes straight for a while" before it starts to fall Gravity affects everything; you can't escape it. As soon as the tail end of the bullet stops touching the end of the barrel, it begins to fall at 32 ft per second/per second Look at a situation where at the exact same moment the bullet shoots out of the barrel, another bullet just falls off the end of the barrel and drops straight down to the ground.

Both bullets will hit the ground at the exact same moment; they both take the same time to fall the same distance The bullet that was shot out of the gun, of course, might hit the ground a long way away, but again, it will finally drop the whole height and hit the ground the exact same moment that the bullet dropped loosely back at the gun also drops the whole height and hits the ground Answer A bullet always drops from the line of sight of the bore after it exits the barrel of a gun. As mentioned, the bullet is being acted on by gravity at all times. Even in the barrel.

When it's in the barrel, it follows the barrel, of course. But when it exits the muzzle, it immediately begins to fall down, fall below the line of the bore. In review with reference to the direction the barrel is pointed the bullet always begins to drop the instant it exits the muzzle.

The bullet is always dropping below the line down the bore of the barrel from the instant it exits the muzzle, and this has profound implications for the shooter who wants to hit his target. Issues with sighting in are important. Heck, they're critical!

The shooter is actually "lobbing" the round down range, and we need to look at this issue A rifle barrel is not exactly aligned with the sight line. If you are shooting on a level field, the barrel will be slightly angled up to allow for the drop of the bullet caused by gravity. Gravity is acting on the bullet throughout all the time it is in flight.It's pulling it down.

The line-of-sight from the shooter's eye to the target is straight, but the bullet will curve downward due to the effect of gravity. The bullet exits the gun slightly below the sight line and climbs above it due to the angle of the barrel. Gravity overcomes the vertical energy of the bullet and pulls it down.

If the sights are adjusted correctly for the distance, the bullet will reach the target at the same time it is crossing the sight line on the way down There is a situation where a bullet can be acted on by another force, and that's the force of moving air - a crosswind. A crosswind will act "sideways" on the bullet. But because the bullet is spinning, the force will act 90 degrees late in the direction of rotation of that bullet.

This will impart a small (but significant) force to the projectile, and it can cause the round to stray higher than sighted in, or lower than sighted in. This phenomenon is called bullet rise or bullet drop, and it depends on the speed and direction of the crosswind, and the direction of the twist of the rifling. Shooters who want to hit targets over longer distances must take these factors into account.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
