DROP DATE: TBD
In this article, we introduce the science of ballistics.
DROP DATE: TBD
In this article, we will dig into internal ballistics. As we do, we will identify and characterize all of the variables that impact the bullet and it’s flight, before it leaves the gun.
DROP DATE: TBD
In this article, we dissect external ballistics. We will introduce the concepts and types of stabilizing forces and destabilizing forces that are inherent to or act upon the bullet in flight. We will look at how the design of the bullet can have dramatic impact on external ballistics.
DROP DATE: TBD
In this article, we will explore terminal ballistics. We will cover all of the considerations for things that happen to your bullet and a target when they meet. We will look at how the design of the bullet determines what happens when bullet meets target.
DROP DATE: TBD
In this article, we will explore the history of the rifle, including the weapons systems that inspired it and the impacts that it has had on the world.
DROP DATE: TBD
In this article, we will review the basic principles of rifling. We will then venture into a detailed exploration of the science of gyroscopic stabilization.
DROP DATE: TBD
In this article, we explore the Magnus Effect and its impacts on a bullet’s trajectory. Most know this phenomenon as muzzle jump and spin drift.
DROP DATE: TBD
In this article, we explore the phenomena of coriolis and eotvos. By the end, you will understand how the rotation of the Earth affects long range ballistics.
DROP DATE: TBD
In this article, we look at the effect of projectile velocity on the flight of the bullet.
DROP DATE: TBD
In this article, we explore the extrinsic constants and variables that can act on the bullet along its flight path. This includes air density (barometric pressure, temperature, humidity), wind, precipitation, and gravity.
