: Mathematical models used to predict the effectiveness of a specific round against a specific armor or target.
This covers the projectile's flight through the atmosphere. The text utilizes complex physics to predict trajectories: : Drag coefficients ( Cdcap C sub d ), lift, and the effects of air density. Ballistics: Theory and Design of Guns and Ammun...
: The chemistry of gunpowder, burn rates, and how chemical energy converts to kinetic energy. : Mathematical models used to predict the effectiveness
