Possible to hit a bullet with another bullet?

Answer 1

yup

Answer 2

Yes, bullet speed is associated with the size of the casing and the more powder per the size of the bullet the faster that bullet will travel. So it is possible to align two guns to shoot at each other so that the bullets collide with each other. It is also possible for a bullet to hit another bullet by being fired with a faster speed bullet and gun, from a different angle.

Answer 3

Here it is. The myth is slightly different, but they only called it "Plausible" not "Confirmed":

"During the Civil War, two soldiers’ bullets collided in midair and fused together.

PLAUSIBLE

The MythBusters first tried to mount two Civil War rifles in front of each other so that when fired, the bullets would collide in midair. However, this proved impossible because they were unable to get the guns to fire at the same time. Instead, they aimed a single rifle at a bullet suspended in the air. The fired bullet hit dead center, and the MythBusters found that both bullets had fused together into a single mass. Though incredibly unlikely, it is possible for two bullets to collide and fuse together in midair."

Answer 4

When you have two sides firing at each other. Is extremely possible. Especialy after every war during and after WWII when the machine gun was made. It would take close to 2-5 million bullets per bullet hit. And, Mythbusters is the biggest crack of bullshit on this planet.

Answer 5

Hi. Yes. At the battle of Gettysburg there were so many bullets flying that at least one set of them have been fused by impact and are on display. Even protons can hit protons. From the MythBusters site: "

Answer 6

Back in the 1970's, I went to see a dealer in Gettysburg, and he had a few mid-air bullets for sale. I and other customers didn't buy them because we thought they were odd. Now I wish I had spent the $3.00 for each of the mid-air bullets.

Answer 7

this is enormously plenty what Reagan's action picture star Wars software grow to be meant to do. of direction ICBMs circulate quicker than bullets and have an prolonged variety, yet this equipment, on which funds continues to be being dumped, is a failure.

Answer 8

Yes, just the same as raindrops sometimes collide. But the odds one one specific raindrop hitting another specific raindrop are astronomically small. ---The same with two bullets.

Answer 9

yes, but you would have to have ridiculously amazing timing. if there was some sort of machine that would shoot the two bullets automatically at exactly the same time, then maybe it could work.

Answer 10

I think Mythbusters proved that it can happen, but it's a 1 in a million chance.

Answer 11

Given enough time two bullets will inevitably hit each other, even if you don't want them to.
It's inescapable.
