This 1962 Handbook presents information on the fundamental principles governing the behavior of ammunition in its final phase. Ammunition is produced with a great variety of final purposes in mind, and the designer must direct their endeavors toward obtaining the desired effects to the greatest poss

โฆ Synopsis
The science of ballistics involves the study of the motion of projectiles as a particular branch of applied mechanics and related fields of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering. A concept of the basis for the design of weapons or development of ammunition cannot be realized without a basic understanding of this science. This 1963 handbook presents information about each phase of ballistics to the extent believed necessary to pursue a study of the design and engineering analysis of components of weapon systems which satisfy the basic requirements of launch, flight, and terminal effects.
