Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science of small arms ballistics is seriously underdeveloped and underappreciated. This unique and different book is a comprehensive study that fills a legitimate need for a work that covers the engineering and theory of small arms ballistics. The author shares his extensive research on working out the science of small arm ballistics mathematically and explains his theories, such as the field-effect and the field-effect over trajectory and time, along with new theories on interior, exterior, and terminal ballistics. Each equation describes a mathematical relationship, such as transfer of energy, and has an engineering application to help solve a design problem. Some equations, such as the calculation of bullet length with a given muzzle velocity and rate of twist, represent manipulations of those equations. Some other equations represent a set of mathematical instructions to resolve a technical problem, such as the computation of trajectory or depth of penetration of living tissue in real-time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the second edition of the Science of Small Arms Ballistics as a more complete and comprehensive text for members of the Academia and as well as for the recreational shooting communities throughout the world. As was true with the first edition, its purpose is not to intimidate anyone, but to communicate the theories, patterns and relationships between the physical variables and their real-world engineering applications in a way most anyone will understand if he wants to understand. Hopefully, at the same time, it will also provide a history of early man from his beginning, perhaps more than 200,000 years ago, to our present level of development of Physics and the Science of Small Arms Ballistics. It should allow for a more comprehensive grasp of Human development. It was not easy as we will see! It took a long time to get this far and was difficult and dangerous! A lot of people were destroyed or wasted through a lack of resources or opportunity. A cursory examination of the titles in the Table of Contents, for anyone familiar with this Science, will readily single out this second edition, as well as the first, as very different to anything else on the market, either now or in the past.

Book excerpt: "Know Your Ammo" is designed to show the "best of the best" ballistics and loading data. The manual is also designed to compare the performance and design characteristics of over 200 popular rounds of ammunition based on maximum muzzle velocity. The manual gives an introduction to the following : 1.) The background, notes, assumptions and formulas used when calculating the ballistic characteristics of ammunition. 2.) Individual tables of ammunition characteristics for over 200 calibers or rounds of ammunition. 3.) A Chart of Gun Powder burn rates. 4.) An Overview of Explosives. 5.) Several Emergency and Survival Preparedness GuidesThe Following Characteristics are explained and listed in the manual for ease of comparison between rounds (for example - comparing the Optimum Take-down Weight of a .223 vs. 7.62 x 39 mm):Bullet Weight ( Grains) :Cartridge Charge (Grains) :Muzzle Speed (feet per second) :Actual Chamber Pressure in (CUP's) :Maximum Allowable SAAMI Pressure (CUP's) :Accurate PowderTM Type :Bullet Type (i.e. FMJ, JHP, SWG, etc.) : Maximum Cartridge Length (inches) :Brass Length (inches) :Bullet Length (inches) :Bullet Width (inches) :Muzzle Energy (foot-pounds) :Recoil Impulse I (pound-seconds) :Free Recoil Speed VG (feet per second) :"Kick" - Free Recoil Energy EG (foot-pounds) :Minimum Length of Twist Required for Optimum Stability (inches) :Density of Loading :The Rotational Speed in RPM (Revolutions per second) :Prof. Hunter John Taylor's Knockout Blow :Sectional Density :Editor John Wooter's L-factor :Ballistic Expert Ed Matuna's Optimum Takedown Game Weight (pounds) :Momentum (pounds - feet per second) :Maximum Potential Energy of Ignited Powder (foot-pounds) :Efficiency of Maximum Energy Produced (%) :Average Speed of Bullet in the Barrel (feet per second) :Average Pressure on the Bullet in the Barrel (CUP's) :Average Energy of the Bullet in the Barrel (foot-pounds) :Approximate Ballistic Coefficient :Absolute Effective Range at Sea Level (feet) :Absolute Effective Range with 10 mph Tail Wind (feet) :Representative Weight of Weapon (pounds) :Ratio of Muzzle Energy to Weight of Weapon (%) :Bullet Drop at various ranges :

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Exterior Ballistics of Small Arms" is a book mainly about the flight of projectiles of small arms and, at the same time, represents an extension to "Exterior Ballistics with Applications Skydiving, parachute Fall, flying fragments", by Gjergj Klimi, already published by Xlibris in July 30th, 2008. The book contains the Exterior Ballistics PC programs that were not possible to be included in the "Exterior Ballistics with Applications" as well as 76 illustration examples and exercises that can be solved mainly using the Exterior Ballistics PC programs presented in this book. The book has 19 PC Programs. The present book is addressed to amateurs and professionals interested in exterior ballistics, and in shooting with small arms, hunting and sporting rifles, and in general to the readers interested in the field of military and applied science. The simple undergraduate mathematics that is used to present the material and the PC programs makes the book attractive to amateurs and training experts that continuously practice to improve the accuracy of shooting with small arms. The small firearm marksmen find in the book simple theoretical explanations to some basics concepts and characteristics of exterior ballistics and practice of shooting with small arms such as the ballistics coefficient, rifleman's rule, inclined fire, mountain firing, firing in non-standard atmosphere and in presence of wind, etc. All explanations as well as the proofs of some fundamental rules of exterior ballistics are based on the flight of the projectile in presence of drag.
