Also known as the Type PS, the 57N231 is is the standard Soviet full metal jacketed bullet issued for years for the SKS and AK47. The core is lead, with a small amount of tin/antimony added to increase the hardness. It does NOT have a steel core. The type 7N23 does have a hardened steel penetrator, and is classed as AP ammo. The Chinese Type 56 Ball has a partial mild steel core, but is not classed as AP.

What is poison in a bullet?
lead
What is a mixture in which the composition is uniform throughout?
No. A recent example was when the FBI gave up insisting that all bullets from a given melt would have the same mixture composition. Bullet melts are generally made from quite variable scrap, (lead, antimony, tin.) and due to their different specific gravities, they are not evenly distributed throughout the melt.
Is titanium poisonous?
Titanium is not poisonous, but it is a good bullet-proof material.
What are the bad effects of adulteration?
Potentially, a bullet between the eyes by an angry spouse.
Is copper used to make bullets?
yes and no to make the bullet itself they use lead because it has a low melting point,it has some weight to it so when the bullet is fired the wind doesn't affect its accuracy and because lead is easy to mold and cool down. they use the copper as a coating to make fullmetal jacket rounds (fullmetal jacket is when the entire bullet is coated with copper even the bottom of it)
Which types of small arms ammunition contain pyrotechnic composition at the base of the bullet to premit visible obseration of the bullet's in Flight path?
A "tracer" bullet.
What is the formula for muzzle velocity?
No specific formula. MV is the speed that a bullet is moving when it leaves the muzzle of a firearm. It is measured. Variables that affect it include bullet weight, size, powder charge, composition of the bullet, and length of barrel.
What makes a bullet shoot?
When the powder is ignited, it starts a chemical reaction which creates gases. As these gases expand, the pressure separates the bullet from the casing, and propels the bullet down the barrel.
Is shooting off fireworks a chemical change?
Not exactly. When the trigger is pulled, a hammer strikes the back of the bullet with a lot of force. This force ignites the gunpowder within the shell of the bullet, propelling the bullet forward. From there, the bullet hits a target, and they die.
Can a point 251 bullet go through a point 245 inner diameter barrel?
Probably. It depends mostly on the composition of the bullet, lead bullets are designed to be molded as they pass down the barrel ... that's how you get rifling.
Which type of small arms ammuntion contains a pyrotechnic composition at the base of the bullet to permit visible observation of flight path?
Tracer
Which type of small arms ammunition contains a pyrotechnic composition at the base of the bullet to permit visable observation of the bullets in flight path?
Tracer ammunition.
Which type of small arms ammunition contains a pyrothecnic composition at the base of the bullet to permit visible observation of the bullets in-flight path?
Tracer ammunition.
Can toilet paper stop a bullet?
Any amount of mass, if sufficient enough will stop a bullet. One or two layers of TP will not stop a bullet. A single roll of TP likely won't either. But, if you were to have several (maybe 20-1000) rolls, eventually a bullet will transfer all of its kinetic energy to the previous rolls of TP and run out of energy. How many rolls (the thickness) that would be needed depends on the bullet's size, velocity, composition, etc....
What type of small arms ammuniton contains a pyrotechnic composition at the base of the bullet to permit visible observation of the bullets inflight path?
It's called a tracer.
What is the mass of a bullet?
Depends on the composition of the bullet. If it's 100% lead and at STP and 1 G it's mass and weight will be about the same. Move it anywhere where the gravitational force is more or less than 1G and the weight will chance but the mass will remain the same. Lead bullets contain antimony as a hardener...so the mass of a real bullet differs from that described above.
What are two security features of Barack Obama's limousine?
Bullet-proof glass. Sealed interior impervious to chemical & biological weapons.
