This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rifle Ammunition (commonly shortened to ammo) is propellant and projectile, or broadly anything that can be used in combat and fired from a rifled firearm. The purpose of ammunition is to project force against a selected target. However, the nature of ammunition use also 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 armour and aircraft, carrier projectiles, fuzes, mortar ammunition, small arms ammunition, grenades, mines, pyrotechnics, improved conventional munitions, and terminally guided munition. A "round" is a term synonymous with a single cartridge containing a projectile, propellant, primer and casing. This book focuses on the rifle cartridge, its history, dimensions, construction, assembly and use. This volume 2 of 2 focuses on 150 Cartridges larger than 50 cal. Including Metric Cartridges. You can purchase volume 1 which discusses 132 rounds under 39 caliber at https: //www.createspace.com/ 6098488.

Book excerpt: This introduction to ballistics is an overview of the essentials involved in the mathematical modeling of the ballistics that pertain to a bullet that is fired from a firearm. This book gives an overview into the classical mechanics of ballistics which includes everything from the internal, transitional, external and terminal ballistics to the equations of motion, trajectory, hydrostatic shock and Stokes' Law.Included are sections on ranged weapons, propellants, firearm, bullet and barrel design.A section on stopping power is especially noteworthy as this is often the factor that drives the design of the weapon.This edition also includes some of the latest ballistics studies from the war in Iraq.Also see these classics:"Know Your Ammo!"
