The division within a police department which studies the characteristics of cartridges fired from a firearm; the ballistics department. The characteristics of the weapons and bullets fired may be used as evidence in criminal investigations.
The analysis of firearms, ammunition, projectiles, bombs, and explosions.
a science that deals with the motion and flight characteristics of projectiles BDU battle dress uniform BMNT beginning morning nautical twilight
Science of the performance of projectiles, relating to their trajectory, energy, velocity, range, penetration, etc. Exterior ballistics are concerned with the flight of a bullet after leaving the muzzle of a gun. Interior ballistics are concerned with the explosion of the primer, ignition and burning of the propellant powder, internal pressures and torques resulting as the bullet is forced through the barrel.
(n.) The study of how projectiles fly. More specifically, external ballistics refers to how a projectile behaves after it leaves the barrel of a gun, while internal ballistics refers to the chemical and mechanical processes which occur with a gun after the trigger is pulled but before the projectile leaves the barrel. What happens when the bullet strikes a target is referred to as terminal ballistics.
the trajectory of an object in free flight
the science of flight dynamics
The study of objects moving through the air or moving through space, or projectiles.
The studying of fired projectiles. This study is broken into a few categories including terminal, external and internal.
the art or science of designing projectiles for maximum flight performance.
The science which deals with the motion of projectiles.
The science that deals with the motion, behavior, appearance or modification of missiles acted upon by propellants, rifling, wind, gravity, temperature or other modifying conditions of force.
The science of projectiles in motion. Divided into interior ballistics— covering the time between the start of primer ignition and the bullet's exit from the barrel; exterior ballistics—the bullet's movement from barrel exit to target impact; and terminal ballistics —the bullet's behavior from the moment it enters its target until it stops moving.
The science of the motion of projectiles. When a bullet is fired, it will have distinctive characteristics caused by the gun from which it is fired. Examiners can use this evidence to match bullets or bullet fragments to specific weapons.
The study of what happens to moving projectiles. Internal/Interior Ballistics studies what happens inside the firearm from the moment of ignition until it leaves the barrel. Exterior/External Ballistics studies the motion of the projectile after it leaves the barrel. Terminal Ballistics studies the projectile's impact on the target.
By definition, limited to the study of projectile dynamics. In practice, extended to the study of bullets, and the functioning of firearms.
The science that deals with the motion and flight characteristics of projectiles. It can be divided into three phases: 1) Internal ballistics 2) Exterior ballistics 3) Terminal ballistics The main aspects of ballistics that concern the rifleman are bullet velocity, stability, kinetic energy, trajectory and penetration/wounding effect.
The study of what happens to a fired projectile. The study is divided into, internal, external and terminal ballistics. For target shooting purposes it is the first two which are important.
Ballistics/Rifling (gr. ba'llein, "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.
