: How wind, gravity, and even the Coriolis effect (Earth's rotation) influence the strike point. 4. Terminal Ballistics
This covers the projectile's flight through the atmosphere. The text utilizes complex physics to predict trajectories: : Drag coefficients ( Cdcap C sub d ), lift, and the effects of air density. Ballistics: Theory and Design of Guns and Ammun...
: The role of rifling (spin-stabilization) versus fins (fin-stabilization) to prevent the projectile from tumbling. : How wind, gravity, and even the Coriolis
: How suppressors, muzzle brakes, and compensators interact with these gases to reduce recoil or sound. 3. External Ballistics : How wind
