Ballistics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) |
 | | Ballistics (Greek language ballein, throw) is the science that deals with the motion, behavior, and effects of projectiles, especially bullets, gravity bombs, rockets, or the like, the science or art of designing and hurling projectiles so as to achieve a desired performance. |
 | | 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. |
 | | Transition ballistics, the study of the projectiles behavior when it leaves the barrel and the pressure behind the projectile is equalized. |
