The fundamentals of Ballistics

Post by xl_target » Fri Mar 13, 2015 9:17 pm

Ballistics can be complex, involving a multitude of variables. This old U.S. Army training film, however, does a solid job of breaking down the subject to its simplest terms.
Watch it here:

Ballistic share xl_target! :D

Nicely explained - very edifying!

I wish this film would have been avaialable to me in my youth (extreme youth); I learn't a large portion of these effects in practicum - from 'Diwali' crackers, sometimes with painful results - OUCH!

ROTFL
When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns!
