What is a snuff bullet?

If you got shot with a bullet in your pocket, and the bullet hit your bullet, what would happen?

  • Say it was a 5.56mm bullet you had, and you were shot by a 7.62mm bullet--would this bullet absorb some of the other bullet and hurt you less? Would you get shrapnel, would it depend? Please help.

  • Answer:

    More surface trauma, less internal trauma It doesn't take much to deflect some of the energy from a bullet Contrary to popular belief, if you cause a bullet to fire outside a rifle barrel, it doesn't actually fire, the power will burn and it wil separate the bullet from the casing, but then all the gas's produced that normally propel a bullet down the barrel, just go into the atmosphere, so the actual bullet, goes no where IE: you throw a bullet in a fire, no one is gonna get killed when it explodes

If it's just a loose bullet in your pocket, the 7.62 will most likely push it aside and then drill into your body.

more damage i would assume, the other bullet would litterly push the other one in

the bullet when explode like a small bomb yes you be hurt the first bullet hitting the 2nd would be like some one hitting a bullet with a hammer

I would think that it would also explode - it is full of explosive powder. Thus, intensifying the damage
