This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Top Guns(tm) manual is in the 5th edition and was created and reviewed by experts in their field. The manual is easy to read and use. With the Top Guns(tm) manual you can educate yourself and become an expert in the field of practical ballistics.The "Top Guns (tm)" Ammunition, Ballistics, Explosives & Survivor Preparedness Manual is used to compare and understand the performance and design characteristics of numerous popular rounds of ammunition & explosives. The "TOP GUNS (tm) Manual explains the following: 1.) The background, notes, assumptions and formulas used when calculating the ballistic characteristics. 2.) The individual tables of characteristics for each round based on the values listed such as bullet weight, cartridge charge and powder type. The ballistic calculations involve a variety of equations that seek to predict the behavior and characteristics of the round being fired. The ballistic equations are divided into 1.) Internal Ballistics and 2.) External Ballistics. 3.) A Chart of Gun Powder Burn Rates & Sniper & Downrange cards 4.) An Overview of Explosives 5.) Several Emergency & Survival Preparedness Guides There are nearly 10,000 different kinds of firearms being used in over 150 countries the origins of which date back to the 1600's. These firearms all have one thing in common. The firearm is a complex balance of chemistry, physics, optics, metallurgy and ergonomics. These fields of science are used to design an efficient handheld device that has the metallurgy utilized in such a manner that the firearm barrel and mechanics can withstand the chemical explosion of the gunpowder and propel a round down range in a manner accurate enough to hit a target. This same firearm must also employ the physics of ballistics that produces a bullet that leaves the barrel with the correct amount of spin in order to stabilize the bullet in flight. The firearm must also have a design that employs the exacting physics that allows the energy and pressure of the chemical explosion to propel the bullet through the rifled barrel, use this same energy to eject the casing, cycle the action and repeat this thousands of times using a frame that is lightweight and convenient to aim and carry. The optics must be such that it allows the human eye to focus on a point down-range, usually in order to deliver a bullet reliably on target, whenever needed. All of the above, involve extensive functional decomposition, mathematical modeling and ballistics calculations and testing, in order to produce a reliable mass-produced weapon. Ballistic calculations involve a variety of equations that seek to predict the behavior and characteristics of the round being fired. The equations are usually divided into 1.) Internal Ballistics 2.) Transitional Ballistics 3.) External Ballistics and 4. Terminal Ballistics.The Top Guns (tm) Manual will educate you on the ballistics, the calculations and terms used in designing ammunition.

Download or read book A Comprehensive Guide to Munitions written by Paul F. Kisak and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Munitions are anything that can be used in combat including bullets, bombs, missiles, warheads, mines, artillery and rockets. Munitions is the collective term for all material used in war. The purpose of munitions is to project force against a selected target. However, the nature of munitions includes delivery or combat supporting munitions such as pyrotechnic or incendiary compounds. Since the design of the cartridge, the meaning has been transferred to the assembly of a projectile and its propellant in a single package. Ammunition involves the application of fire to targets, general use of weapons by personnel, explosives and propellants, cartridge systems, high explosive projectiles (HE), warheads, shaped charge forms of attack on armor and aircraft, carrier projectiles, fuses, mortar ammunition, small arms ammunition, grenades, mines, pyrotechnics, improved conventional munitions, and terminally guided munition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Manual of Tests and Criteria contains criteria, test methods and procedures to be used for classification of dangerous goods according to the provisions of Parts 2 and 3 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, as well as of chemicals presenting physical hazards according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). As a consequence, it supplements also national or international regulations which are derived from the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods or the GHS. At its ninth session (7 December 2018), the Committee adopted a set of amendments to the sixth revised edition of the Manual as amended by Amendment 1. This seventh revised edition takes account of these amendments. In addition, noting that the work to facilitate the use of the Manual in the context of the GHS had been completed, the Committee considered that the reference to the "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods" in the title of the Manual was no longer appropriate, and decided that from now on, the Manual should be entitled "Manual of Tests and Criteria".
