Comparing Ballistics of the .30-06 and .270
I have written this science research paper to compare ballistics of a .270 and a .30-06. This paper will also make my decision on which one I will purchase next. If I fire the .270 and the .30-06 rifles into a 2x4, then I will be able to determine from the ballistics which caliber rifle is better. For my experiment, I fired two rounds of ammunition into a 2x4 with each gun. Both rifles were fired at a range of 50 yards away, into the wind, while using 150 grain shells. The rounds for the .270 used soft tips, but the .30-06 used sharp tips.
The .30-06 is an extremely good rifle for most of the outdoor activities. The depth of this rifle is superb compared to the .270, mainly because it is of a higher caliber, and that means more power. The bullets can come from ranging anywhere from 110 grain to 220 grain, soft, regular (sharp), and hollow pointed shells. With 180 grain bullets, the .30-06 packs about 1300 ft./lbs. of energy at 400 yards. Although, at 400 yards the drop is almost 50 inches; most hunters prefer this one compared to other rifles because of its versatility and accuracy. The expansion is also good, depending on the type of shell tired-used. The kick and distance of the gun are considered to be wonderful because the kick is normal and the distance is better than normal.
The .270 rifle is a reasonably good rifle. This rifle is mainly used in open field shooting as opposed to in brush shooting. The depth and the expansion work together and turn out to be great, especially if soft pointed shells are used. The kick and the distance from the .270 rifle work relatively well as a whole. The
.270 is considered to be a fairly light gun. Even though the gun may be light its shells can push a 150 grain bullet to a range of about 3000 fps (foot pounds second), and 1200 ft/lbs. at 400 yards. The .270 is not preferred mainly because the higher the grain shell the more power and the highest shell for a .270 rifle is 150 grain.
It is now time to compare the .270 and the .30-06. The .30-06 is an accurate gun, but cannot hold up to the .270, the reason being is the power behind it.

"A Loaded Gun," is a piece by Patrick Radden Keefe, which published on February 11 and 18, 2013 on The New Yorker weekly magazine. This piece revolves around Amy Bishop, a neuroscientist working at the University of Alabama, Huntsville city. On the day of February 12, 2012, at the conference room of the Shelby Center for Science and Technology, Bishop used a 9-mm rifle killed three colleagues and wounded three others. The question is how does a person with a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D) from prestigious university of Harvard, with a cozy family-a husband and four children, with no criminal record turn into such a cold-blooded killer? Does Bishop's tenure ended is the main reason that leads to the crime, or because of her "gun accidents" that

The rifle and the coveted shotgun, literally brought home the bacon. With sleek models such as the Winchester .44 in 1873, accurate targeting sights increased a hunter’s ability to take down his prey, even from large distances, often exceeding 200 yards. The other weapon of choice, the shotgun, did not boast a straight, clean shot, but had the capacity to tear anything to shreds in a single blast. A short barrel provided the advantage of a wider blast range and easier handling (Trachtman et al 50). In many battles, the shotguns were often preferred for their simplifying features.
...waste ammunition.” During the war colonel Hiram Berdan formed a regiment of sharpshooter for the union army called Berdans sharpshooters. These new soldiers would be better shooters against their enemy and would be save great amounts of ammunition and money. Contests were held across the country to find these elite sharpshooters. To make the cut you had put 10 consecutive shots into a target at two hundred yards. Each shot couldn’t be more than to inches from the center of the bull’s eye. At the end of these contests 1,000 winners were enlisted in the 1st United States sharper shooters. The next generation of breechloaders called magazine rifles would prove ever more deadly to confederate opponents. “Guns such as Spencer and Henry repeating rifles were deigned to carry preloaded magazine of seven to fifteen bullets which could be inserted into the rear of the gun.”3
Paragraph: The Pump shotgun is better than the the Tactical shotgun in Fortnite Battle Royale. First off, the damage is much higher. According to IGN, the pump shotgun does a 95 body shot point blank and a 237 damage headshot. This implies that the Pump is an overall stronger weapon because it can do more damage than the Tactical. Once you can get the timing right and improve your aim, the Pump shotgun is going to be better in every close range situation. Secondly, from personal experiences, the Pump is much consist. Whenever I use the Tactical shotgun, the shots hit from 6 damage to 70 damage. Shotguns are meant to be a consistent and reliable weapons in Fortnite Battle Royale, and when the Tactical shotgun is hitting for random damage at

Assault weapons have been labeled as the number one source for mass killings in America. The idea that a weapon can fire a large amount of bullets at a remarkable speed can be used for recreational use was thought of otherwise. This type of weaponry was made for one reason and that is to eliminate as many people as possible and accomplish it in a reasonably fast time. The problem is everywhere and to help control the issue the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is the nation’s largest organization dedicated to enacting and enforcing gun...
The U. S. Soldiers used the M-79 40mm, also known as the thumper, which looked like a sawed shotgun. It could fire up to 300 meters and fire a 6.5 pound grenade. The M-72 is a BBMM light anti-tank weapon that weighs 5.2 pounds. It was also used as a bunker buster and fired a 1 kg rocket that could travel 300 meters. (173dairborne)”
It was made to kill very large numbers of waterfowl in one shot. It was called the punt gun. The punt gun was very large. The bore (diameter of the barrel) exceeded a 2 inch diameter. When the gun would be fired across the water, it would put out a whole pound of shot. This gun would kill 90 ducks in one shot. It was taller than the person who owned it. Now days, People mainly use a 12 gauge or 20 gauge shotgun. The 12 gauge is the more popular out of the shotguns (“Punt Gun”).
...rounds per minute, all with just the pull of the trigger. The recoil operation was a milestone in machine gun development. Warfare had truly changed. “Point a machine, and killing men was like killing bugs” (Chivers, 2010, p.85). It used new forms of cartridges which were placed on a belt that was automatically fed into the gun via the recoil operation.
Second, I use my rifle in shooting larger game such as deer. Bullets for my rifle come in many different calibers and grains. The rifle also fires center- fire ammo. It also has a scope mounted on top of the barrel. It also has a sling which I can use to carry my gun for a long walking distance. It also has loops that will hold my ammunition. These comes in handy for me in reloading my rifle. I use my rifle in my deer stand, in a shooting lane or a highline, and also in baited fields. The challenge for me in using a rifle with a scope is that, I must have steady hands and also a place to rest my rifle. My balance has to be ri...
Shooting is a popular activity and it is enjoyed by many people, so much so that it is also done at a competitive level. Although many people may have shot a firearm of some sort, few of those people actually realize how much physics is involved with the shot.
First of all I am going to describe hunting with a shot gun; it is designed to be fired from the hunters shoulder. The shot gun fires a shell that holds all types of loads which is also called shot when buying them from stores they are classified by the size of the shot that is inside the shot gun shell. There are many different varieties of shot guns that are available along with different types of shot guns such as: single-shot, pump-action, and semi-automatic.
