Ballistics

Download our free guide you will learn Ballistics and the science of motion of bodies abandoned in space, based on mathematics and physics. It deals mainly with the study of the motion of bullets and shells fired from firearms, rockets and ballistic missiles.

The basics of external ballistics

Knowledge of external ballistics (hereinafter ballistics) allows the arrow before the shot with sufficient for practical applications accuracy to know where the bullet gets. The accuracy of the shot depends of a lot of interrelated factors: a dynamic interplay of components and parts of weapons between himself and the arrow body, gas and bullets, bullets with the walls of the bore, the bullets with the environment after departure from the trunk, and more.

The basics of external ballistics, the rotation of the bullet and derived

The bullet out of the barrel at a certain speed, in flight, there are two main forces: the force of gravity and the force of air resistance. The gravity is directed downwards, it forces the bullet to continuously decline. The force of air resistance is directed opposite to the motion of the bullet, it causes the bullet to continuously reduce the speed of flight. All this leads to a deviation of the trajectory down.
