Police bullet lands perfectly in suspect's gun chamber

[tyler811]

what do you think?

 

[FoBoT]

as much as i support law enforcement, i think the chance someone planted that bullet is higher than the chance it was shot into there

but anything is possible i suppose

 

[Hammerhead]

Police Officer
Yeah, I meant to do that.

 

[fbrdphreak]

Um.......yyyeeeaaaahhhhhhhh

 

[swtethan]

i want a barrett 50 cal

 

[PurdueRy]

Sometime tells me it would bounce off pretty much everytime. I call SHENS

 

[DivideBYZero]

Yeah, nice try...

The only problem with that is that the bullet was fired...where are you going to find a fired bullet unexpanded enough to insert into another gun?

i don't know
it just seems impossible for a bullet fired from one person to another in a gun battle to do that

as i said, i hate threads bashing law enforcement. but there are some bad cops out there, in some cities

i am just thinking from the physical/physics side of it. that would be a billion or trillion to one event to get it to happen. you could try to reproduce it experimentally and it could take you a very long time to reproduce the feat.

has anyone ever tried it? maybe i am mistaken you could setup a couple of stationary guns and get it to happen, but then you introduce 2 humans firing the guns? in a hostile situation?

 

[Homerboy]

no fvcking way

I agree that it seems impossible, but I have no idea where you could find a fired round that would be unaltered (hadn't expanded yet, hadn't hit anything, etc.) enough to be able to fit into another gun.

 

[FoBoT]

maybe it was aliens

or GWB used his weather machine to get the bullet in there

 

[foghorn67]

He fired in 'bullet time.'

the bullet doesn't expand until it actually hits something.
i don't know enough about calibers to know if a .40 would fit into the barrel of a .38 though. was the .38 loaded with a round chambered? i'm wondering if the impact from the .40 would make the .38 round go off?

that's a good point...i would want to know more details of the case before i said it was planted, though...and if it was a plant, why would they go through all that trouble...the guy is dead right? he can't tell a story...four officers vs one dead guy with a gun...would seem pretty open and shut to me, even without the bullet

 

[arcenite]

yeah that's pretty wild

depends on the gun, but chances are, no it wouldn't cause the .38 to go off...unless the firing pin was already out, say he had just fired and not released the trigger, maybe...dunno

Mythbusters needs to try this out.

Um yeah... OP's question was what do you think. Thats what I think.

Oh btw Bradruth. Remember a bullet doesn't mushroom til it hits something. Having not hit anything before entering the barrel of the other gun it could possably go in. Of course the angle & numerous other variables would have to be perfect. Hence the low probability.

but now that i think about it there wouldn't be another round chambered at that point in a revolver, i don't know about a semi auto

hey bradruth, would a semi auto had already chambered another round at that point?

Right, but how would you collect a fired bullet without having it hit something?

If a semi-auto fires it immediately cycles another round into the chamber.
