Introduction
When you think about firearms, you typically think of handguns. But what about sniper rifles? What about shotguns? What about 9mm bullets? These types of bullets all travel a bit differently in water. In this blog post, we will explore how far 9mm bullets will travel in water and what that means for the safety of both shooters and bystanders.
What We Know About Bullet Ballistics
Water is a poor medium for the transport of projectiles. This is due to the low friction between water and projectiles, which causes them to quickly move along the surface. In addition, water greatly reduces the kinetic energy of a projectile, making it difficult for it to penetrate targets.
Despite these obstacles, data on bullet ballistics in water has been collected and analyzed over the years. One study found thatmm bullets travel an average of 3 feet in water before sinking. Other studies have found that mm bullets can travel up to 10 feet before sinking. It is important to note that these distances are averages; variables such as barrel length, weight and ammunition type can affect how far a bullet will travel in water.
How a 9mm Bullet Travels in Water
When a 9mm bullet is shot out of a gun, the water it’s traveling through affects how far it travels. The higher the pressure in the water, the further the bullet will travel before coming to a stop.
In low pressure environments like rivers or lakes, water molecules have more space between them and move faster than air molecules do. This means that a 9mm bullet will travel much further than when it’s in high pressure environments like at the bottom of the ocean.
Conclusion
One of the most common questions people ask is how far a 9mm bullet will travel in water. While there are no definitive answers, it seems likely that a 9mm bullet would be severely damaged or even destroyed if fired into any kind of body of water (although this hasn’t been scientifically proven). That being said, if you’re ever targeted by someone wielding a firearm and you find yourself in a situation where you need to shoot back, make sure to do your research on the ammunition you are using and ensure that it has sufficient stopping power when fired in water.
