Cops keep a round chambered at all times (with the safety off, if equipped). Then they eject the magazine and replace the round that was loaded into the chamber. They now have a pistol that’s loaded to 15+1, or whatever number of rounds their particular weapon holds.

No person on U.S. Postal Service® property may carry or store firearms, explosives, or other dangerous or deadly weapons, either openly or concealed, except for official purposes. See Title 39, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 232.1.

You don’t carry with a round in the chamber because: It is just too dangerous. The gun could go off inadvertently and cause injury or death. It does not take that long to rack the slide and chamber a round.

A gun in your glove box is considered a concealed weapon. As far as what state it is in you can have a round in the chamber or not. You can have it in a holster or not, that’s up to you.

Can A Dropped Gun Go Off? Generally speaking, if your gun is kept in good condition, was made in the past decade of so, and isn’t used frequently enough for wear and tear to compromise the safety mechanisms in place, there is almost no chance of the gun going off if you drop it.

But, no, in the real world guns do not backfire. If, however, a gun has its bore obstructed, is improperly loaded, or otherwise malfunctions, it can explode, sending hell hot gases and potentially lethal shards of metal back towards the shooter.

A large enough calibre (powerful enough) bullet would go through most any Bible or even a large multi-volume Encycloped end to end — perhaps a 40mm cannon round. Even a small book MIGHT stop less powerful rounds (but don’t count on it.)

A shooter can curve a bullet around an obstacle by swinging or flicking his or her arm. (Based on scenes from the movie Wanted.) With a de-rifled gun barrel and unbalanced bullets, the bullets tumbled through the air but still flew along a straight path.

Regardless of your speed and finesse, no human can dodge a bullet at close range. The bullet is simply traveling too fast. Even the slowest handguns shoot a bullet at 760 miles per hour, SciAm explains.

No, it’s not possible. You would lose your finger, and the bullet would have plenty of force to kill. However, there are some cases where it would APPEAR to be possible. Pushing back on the barrel of just about any modern automatic pistol will place the weapon ‘out of battery’ rendering it unable to fire.

Re: Dodge a Bullet You can’t dodge a bullet based on the sound. Bullets normally travel faster than sound (the “crack” of a bullet is a sonic boom), so the bullet will hit a person before the sound arrived.

Snipers and sport shooter will hold their breath momentaraly as they squeeze the trigger because if you are breathing then you are moving. If you are moving you can’t be still enough to make a hard shot. They also shoot in-between heartbeats for the exact same reasons I listed above in regards to breath holding.

Because standard bullet ammunition does not work well underwater, a common feature of underwater firearms is that they fire flechettes instead of standard bullets. The barrels of underwater pistols are typically not rifled. The lack of rifling renders these weapons relatively inaccurate when fired out of water.

The bolts are slower than bullets. And yes a jedi can dodge bullets (called slugs in Star Wars) by using both their reflexes and their precognition. They are however harder to dodge and have a habit of turning to burning hot liquid when passing through a saber blade.

Could a Jedi stop a bullet with the force? Yes, they have precognitive abilities. They can sense the shooters intention before the trigger is pulled. They should be able to freeze it in place with a force shield.

Yes, ballistic weapons (known as slugthrowers) do exist in the Star Wars universe, though as relative rarities – naturally, in a universe where high-powered plasma guns in all shapes, sizes, and powers are common, bullets were wasteful. In fact, the gas used to power the guns was more common than bullets.

The blaster bolts do travel significantly slower than the supersonic speeds achieved by bullets. However, they are more effective. Bullets can be deflected by armour.

Why are bullets called slugs? – Quora. They aren’t by anyone knowledgeable in firearms. Its a little like calling money “dough.” A “slug” is actually referring to a single massive projectile that fires from a shotgun. The purpose of slugs is to allow much better penetration due to kinetic energy of a larger mass.

A blaster bolt is described as plasma encapsulated in a self-contained magnetic field that explodes on contact. The “plasma” and the exploding part acting in a similar way as current bullets but in a more powerful way. However that is not consistent with what is seen on the movies.

The Stormtroopers die very easily because the plot demands that our intrepid heroes always succeed against the enemy. When Stormtroopers are hit by blaster shots, they are flung backwards due to the kinetic force of the shots. Most of the time, the Stormtroopers don’t actually die, they are simply incapacitated.

Of course a blaster is possible, but it is important that you understand that a blaster is not a “laser”. A blaster generates and propels a quantity of superheated and ionized gas contained enclosed within a temporary particle shield.

In-universe, lightsaber and blaster technologies are different. A blaster operates like a real-world firearm, including a need for “ammunition.” Tibanna gas acts like a form of gunpowder and generates or propels a blaster bolt which behaves like a bullet. The kyber crystal is the heart of a lightsaber.

The modified lightsaber incorporated a crossguard hilt based on an ancient design dating back to the Great Scourge of Malachor and contained a cracked Kyber crystal, requiring it to have lateral vents on either side of the handle in order to divert the extra heat generated by the crystal.

They are impossible, Beason said. A burst of laser light moves too fast from its source for our eyes to track as a unit. Many lasers actually consist of pulsed light, but the pulses flash by so quickly that the eye renders them as a continuous beam.
