How fast do you need to be to block a bullet?

About 250 feet per second (76 m/s) velocity is required for an expanded hollow point bullet to puncture skin 50\% of the time.

Is it possible to catch a bullet with your teeth?

Sure you can! If the barrel of the gun is pointing at either teeth or hands, you’ll catch a bullet.

How fast would your reaction time have to be to catch a bullet?

Even the slowest handguns shoot a bullet at 760 miles per hour, SciAm explains. Humans can react to something in about 0.2 seconds on the fast end depending on the task and if they know something is coming. But in everyday circumstances the average reaction is more like 1.5 seconds.

What is the reaction time of a bullet?

The fastest human reaction times, which comes from professional video game players, are about 0.12 s, which is twice the time our bullet is traveling. Even if weoved our glock back to the far edge of its range, the reaction time is the same as the bullet travel time, leaving no time to actually move.

How fast does a bullet travel through the air?

A typical rifle bullet travels at about 800 meters per second. If you knew the bullet was heading towards you – let’s say you’d need to jump to one side by a half meter (about 20″)…just to be sure to be out of the way. You have to cover that half meter in the same time it takes the bullet to cover the distance to you.

How fast should my reaction time be?

This is discused in further detail on the the statistics page. While an average human reaction time may fall between 200-250ms, your computer could be adding 10-50ms on top. Some modern TVs add as much as 150ms! If you want, you can keep track of your scores, and see your full history of reaction times.

What happens to a bullet when it falls to the ground?

Bullets falling to the ground, whether by dropping or firing, are set into motion on a linear path toward the gravitational center of the earth. In this example we can ignore the slight gravitational variations the fired bullet would travel since the increase of gravitational force would be too small to appreciably affect the result.
