indeed, just how people of different size and strength throw the same rock with different speed
and power.

Do you even know how bullet ballistics work? The gun itself does nothing to the bullet except
point it in the right direction and detonate the primer at the back of the shell. Different guns
can't make the same bullet travel any faster or hit harder than they already can given their
velocity and mass of the projectile, the only thing that a gun can do is make the bullet travel
at a worse trajectory than another gun because of over all degradation or just shitty design. The
gun itself will never do anything to affect the performance of the bullet in "speed and power",
only the size of the projectile, the way the projectile is designed, the size of the casing, and
the kind of powder used will affect the performance in the way you described.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No.
Also:
>>1377187
You do not seem to understand that barrel length can change the velocity of a round and its
terminal effectiveness drastically as a result. In the case of the .50bmg, it's moot, since a few
hundred FPS more or less is not going to impact something that is already going several thousand
feet per second.
But:
With something like m855 5.56x45, a few hundred fps can make all the difference in the world and
drastically change a mid-range caliber into nothing more than a .22 magnum wound channel.

I can agree with what you say there. To a point a longer barrel will increase the velocity (the
expanding gas having more time to push the bullet).
However your argument with the 5.56 Vs the .22 magnum is a little skewed. The 5.56 travels
anywhere from 1000 to 2000 FPS faster than the .22 magnum. A better example would be the .308 vs
the 30-06 which there is only about a 100 to 200 FPS difference.
I don't know maybe not, but i do know that the armor piercing steel core of a .50 BMG cannot go
through a bowling pin. Found that out first hand.

You're right to an extent. Guns play a major factor in internal ballistics, some external
ballistics and close to noting in terminal ballistics. The ballistics coefficient (BC) of the
bullet plays more on how "strong" (a term i use lightly) a bullet is. If you have a bullet with a
high BC you will have a longer range then if you had the same weight bullet going the same speed
with a lower BC.
I have always been told that the closer the BC is to 1 the better (my 200 grain .308 Sierra Match
Kings have a BC of 0.573). However Hornady AMAX bullets for the 50 BMG have a BC of 1.05. So in
short i can say that the higher the BC the better even if it is over 1.
Now you know a little more about the world.
