external ballistics

External ballistics - The behavior of a projectile in flight.

The Magnus effect can also be found in advanced external ballistics.

The study of bullet trajectories after they leave the firearm is known as external ballistics.

The way the bullet behaves after it leaves the barrel is called 'external ballistics'.

This allows long range shots with a short time of flight, and little change in trajectory at different ranges (see external ballistics).

The physics affecting the bullet once it leaves the barrel is termed external ballistics.

Trajectory of a projectile - Basic external ballistics mathematic formulas.

The muzzle velocity and external ballistics were identical to the original towed ML-20 gun.

The limit to bore diameter is generally the sectional density of the projectile (see external ballistics).

Bullet weight and caliber are constants in external ballistics; velocity is a constantly diminishing variable.

External ballistics: Different projectiles have different ballistic characteristics.

See External ballistics.

The Coriolis effects became important in external ballistics for calculating the trajectories of very long-range artillery shells.

For reasons why a smaller diameter projectile can be desirable, see external ballistics and terminal ballistics.

Shot loses its velocity very quickly due to its low sectional density and ballistic coefficient (see external ballistics).

He was then sent to the Naval Proving Ground at Dahlgren, Virginia to work on external ballistics.

There are three aspects to ballistics: internal ballistics, external ballistics, and terminal ballistics.

The SWC design offers better external ballistics than the wadcutter, as its conical nose produces less drag than the flat cylinder.

External ballistics (sometimes called exterior ballistics): the study of the passage of the projectile through a medium, most commonly the air between firing tool and target.

Once the distance is known, the drop of the bullet at that range (see external ballistics), converted back into angular mils, can be used to adjust the aiming point.

Other bullets in use by militaries are quite back heavy, due to a long, sharp point created in an attempt to get the maximum ballistic coefficient (see external ballistics).

Ballistics (Internal ballistics, Transitional ballistics, External ballistics, Terminal ballistics)

During the War Moran worked in rocket development in the Ministry of Supply and later at the External Ballistics Laboratory in Cambridge.

Use of ballistics tables or ballistics software based on the Siacci/Mayevski G1 drag model, introduced in 1881, are the most common method used to work with external ballistics.

The distance a bullet will travel is determined by its shape, weight, launch velocity and launch angle as with any projectile, the study of which is referred to as external ballistics.
