Can A Bullet Go Through A Floor

7 62 x 39 is another nasty round that will do the same.

Can a bullet go through a floor. However with most guns fired at most any distance it would go straight through the wood and kill wound you. But this in general terms so bullets flying from the building behind were just too close. You can barely see where the round enters the plywood. It is rumored that in the old west they said that a 44 bullet supposedly the most common round of the day would pass through six inches of pine.

If all you have is a dry wall ceiling then you can count on it going through the roof. By the way an interesting ballistic phenomenon can happen when a jacketed hollow point bullet hits drywall the hollow tip can actually get packed with the drywall and sometimes the bullet doesn t expand. The 6 panel will easily stop a 50bmg round. Made of drywall and studs a typical bullet can pass through several interior walls before losing enough energy to stop.

So as a perfect illustration that capitalism works some ammo manufacturers specifically bullet manufacturers have tried to solve. If you think about it that s quite a bit. The inch of wood may slow the spin of the bullet somewhat which would slow it down but barely. The caliber of the gun the length of the bullet and how far away the gun is being fired all could change the answer.

The magic is that the gravel saps the energy from the round by moving around a little as the bullet tries to travel through the wall. Ok i have seen a 9mm parabellum go through a piece of face molding the width of the stud the face molding on the other side across the closet through the back wall of the closet two pieces of sheet rock the bullet then struck the oak floor of the hallway. An old pre 1960 car or even a much newer bmw 6 or 7 series cadillac has much thicker steel panels also some plastics more bullet resistant than steel. Steel belted tires are no match for 223 rounds either.

Justwill a bullet go thru a car maybe yes most likely not. Generally a 9 mm bullet has a range of about a mile i know it varies according to weapon accuracy etc. Interior walls aren t much better. It all depends first on the car.

In jim s situation he did not feel safe even going into an interior room as bullets being shot up in the air can penetrate through the ceiling. The expanding bullet should make a bigger hole so it should be fairly easy to see. I often fill old tires with dirt and the round will go through the tread through the dirt and out the other side of the tire.
