	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.

	MSN Encarta - Ballistics
		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.

	Terminal ballistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Terminal ballistics, a sub-field of ballistics, is the study of the behavior of a projectile when it hits its target.
		Terminal ballistics is as relevant for both small caliber projectiles as for large caliber projectiles (fired from artillery).
		The observed "tissue splash," usually referred to as "temporary cavitation," is not an indication of terminal performance in an animal, as gelatin has a much, much lower elastic limit than most living tissues; a force which tears a gelatin block in half may result in nothing more than slight bruising if applied to living flesh.

	Topic of the Month
		Terminal ballistics is concerned with the effect of a projectile on a target or other object.
		However, terminal ballistics cannot be so accurately predicted since every target material creates it’s own terminal ballistics parameters and the number of potential target materials is virtually infinite.
		The basic principles of terminal ballistics can be reduced to simple terms: "Shocking power" is a function of bullet velocity and bullet frontal area and penetration is a function of velocity and sectional density.

	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.
		Terminal ballistics describes the characteristics and effects of the projectiles at the target.

	The Bullet Wound Ballistics
		Ballistics is an arcane discipline - but somehow it has a very considerable attraction for the gunners - and once you have been smitten by this discipline - the wound remains with you for ever.
		The ballistics of bullet, however, makes a very interesting study although there is considerable disagreement among surgeons, ballistic experts and the manufacturers of bullets on the finer points, particularly on the nature of the bullet wound and how best it should be treated.
		Wound ballistics is an old discipline yet more than 80 percent of what was written about wound ballistics whether or not by experts was false; many misconceptions arose from the tunnel vision of ammunition designers and surgeons who had only a partial understanding of each other's disciplines.

		Ballistic Gelatin needs to be quite carefully prepared if it is to be a realistic tissue analogue and you have no guarantee that this has been done correctly.
		The Gelatin usually used is 10% Gelatin chilled to 4 °C. As a calibration a.177 caliber steel BB fired at the block at 590fps (± 30) should penetrate 8.5cm ± 0.8 (for a 10% calibration tolerance) or ± 1.7cm for a 20% calibration tolerance.

	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.

		Exterior ballistics refers to how the bullet performs while in the air between the muzzle and the target.
		Terminal ballistics, on the other hand, takes a look at what the bullet does while inside or passing through the animal.
		If the exterior ballistics of a bullet are within reason, a look at what that bullet is capable of doing inside the animal is more important.

	BASIC BALLISTICS
		The study of ballistics is usually divided into three: internal, external and terminal.
		The ballistic coefficient is significant because it determines the rate at which the projectile slows down, and in conjunction with the muzzle velocity this decides the maximum range (at any given elevation) and the time of flight to any particular distance.
		An important aspect of external ballistics is the stability of the projectile.

		The ballistic coefficient is that number, and it relates the drag of bullets that have similar shapes to one another.
		The Ballistic Coefficient refers to the effect of air drag on a bullet's flight and can be used to predict any particular bullet's trajectory under any circumstances through what are called "drag tables" which apply only to a particular bullet and are published by bullet manufacturers.

		Terminal ballistics is the science of what happens when the bullet strikes the target (and thus the mechanism of incapacitation).
		Even today there is still a lot of terminal "bull-istics" being put forth by self-styled experts based on so-called "street data," pet theories of the proponent, and some cases even manufacturer's incentives.
		Most authorities agree that for anti-personnel use a minimum penetration in calibrated ballistic gelatin of about 11-12" (with 15" being considered ideal) is needed.

		Wound ballistics is the study of effects on the body produced by penetrating projectiles.
		The basics of terminal performance, wounding effects and wounding effectiveness are pretty easy for ordinary people to understand, and this creates a conflict of interest for some gunwriters because there really isn't much to write about.
		Wound ballistics is a specialty field that doesn’t receive much exposure outside the few professional disciplines that have a need for valid, scientifically verifiable information about ballistic injury.
