  Ballistics - MSN Encarta
Some of the critical elements involved in the study of interior ballistics are the relationship of the weight of charge to the weight of projectile; the length of bore; the optimum size, shape, and density of the propellant grains for different guns; and the related problems of maximum and minimum muzzle pressures.
The principle of the ballistic pendulum, as well as of the gun pendulum, which was developed by Thompson, is the transfer of momentum from a projectile with a small mass and a high velocity to a large mass with a resultant low velocity.
The ballistic pendulum consisted of a massive plate of iron to which was bolted a block of wood to receive the impact of the projectile; the pendulum was suspended freely from a horizontal axis.

  Ballistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ballistic body is a body which is free to move, behave, and be modified in appearance, contour, or texture by ambient conditions, substances, or forces, as by the pressure of gases in a gun, by rifling in a barrel, by gravity, by temperature, or by air particles.
Terminal ballistics, the study of the interaction of a projectile with its target, whether that be flesh (for a hunting bullet), steel (for an anti-tank round), or even furnace slag (for an industrial slag disruptor).
A ballistic missile is a missile designed to operate primarily in accordance with the laws of ballistics.

 Ballistics
Ballistics is the science of the motion of projectiles and the conditions that influence that motion.
Exterior ballistics deal with characteristics that influence the motion of the projectile as it moves along its trajectory.
The trajectory is the flight path of the projectile as it flies from the muzzle of the weapon to the point of impact.

These values of p refer to a standard density of the air, of 534.22 grains per cubic foot, which is the density of dry air at sea-level in the latitude of Greenwich, at a temperature of 62° F. and a barometric height of 30 in.
Interior Ballistics The investigation of the relations connecting the pressure, volume and temperature of the powder-gas inside the bore of the gun, of the work realized by the expansion of the powder, of the V FIG.
As a preliminary step to the determination of the pressure in the bore of a gun, it is desirable to measure the pressure obtained by exploding a charge of powder in a closed vessel, varying the weight of the charge and thereby the density of the powder-gas.

If you glance ahead to the Ballistics Tables, you will notice that bullet path data are listed for most rifle bullets at zero ranges of 100, 200, 300, and 400 yards, and at 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards for handgun bullets.
In the Silhouette Ballistics section the zero ranges for both rifle and handgun bullets coincide with the ranges to the targets.
The easiest way to determine the drop at 250 yards is to use a piece of rectangular graph paper, plot the values of drop at 0, 100, 200, 300, and 400 yards, and then pass a smooth curve through all these points.

 What Is Ballistics?
Interior ballistics covers the events inside a gun that occur from the time the firing pin strikes the primer until the bullet exits the muzzle.
While the internal ballistics of large cartridges such as cannons are reliably predictable from mathematical considerations, interior ballistics for small arms are difficult to predict at least by reasonable calculation procedures.
Ballistics for "point blank range" calculations are based on a series of correlations developed and published by Dr. Ralph McGehee in the early 70's.

 Ballistics For Dummies
As for terminal ballistics, that's something we have some control over but only to the extent of choosing the specific bullet, whether as a component of a handload or factory load.
Ballistic Coefficient is a different matter entirely; it's the measure of how "streamlined" a bullet is, i.e., its effectiveness at overcoming air resistance during flight.
Because with so many folks out there owning ballistics programs for their personal computers, all you need to do is plug in muzzle velocity, bullet weight and BC and you can plot trajectories for any desired zero range.

It's called Ballistics, and aside from its notoriety as one of the poster-child games for the GeForce 3, it's also one of the very few sci-fi racers that has hit the PC in some time.
Ballistics is an odd sort of racer, particularly since it always confines you to a large tube.
Ballistics is not an easy game to master, or even get the hang of, and the AI racers are both brutal and incredibly hard to beat.

 WorldNetDaily: Ballistics data don't support charge against border agents
Ballistics reports, used in the trial of Ignacio "Nacho" Ramos, one of two Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting fleeing drug dealer Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila, do not support the prosecution's claim the bullet was fired from Ramos' gun, according to documents provided to WND from Andy Ramirez, chairman of the Friends of the Border Patrol.
Ballistics testing confirms a government-issued weapon belonging to U.S. Border Patrol Agent Ignacio "Nacho" Ramos, a 96D Beretta.40 caliber automatic pistol, serial number BER067069M, fired a bullet (a.40 caliber Smith & Wesson jacketed hollow point) which hit the victim in the left buttocks while he was attempting to flee to Mexico.
The results of the ballistics tests were reported in a letter written by Joseph J. Correa, a Criminalist IV with the Texas DPS El Paso Laboratory, March 18, 2005, and addressed to Brian D. Carter of DHS in El Paso.

The ability to place the bullet where we want it is vital to any accurate shooter, and an understanding of ballistics is necessary to accomplish that in a consistent and reliable fashion.
The body of knowledge as to the factors effecting the flight of the bullet from the instant it leaves the muzzle of the gun until it strikes the target is termed External Ballistics, and that's the subject of this discussion.
In considering external ballistics at our very basic level of discussion, one more facet of the problem needs to be discussed, that of the shape of that pretty red line on the chart.
