Lehrbuch der Ballistik: Äussere Ballistik: Theorie der Geschossbewegung (German Edition)

Master the science of projectile motion, from the gun barrel to the target. This classic reference presents both the theory and the practical methods of ballistics, helping readers understand how a projectile behaves through air and how to predict its path. The book combines explanations of inner ballistics (movement inside the barrel) and outer ballistics (flight to the goal) with experimental techniques and measurement methods. It is written to be usable by engineers, students, and practitioners, balancing rigorous math with real-world applications. Clear foundations of theoretical and experimental ballistics, including key concepts and equations.Guidance on analyzing flight paths, wind effects, and how to interpret ballistic data and tables.Practical approaches to reducing observations to meaningful reference frames and using curve charts.Discussion of historical and contemporary methods, with emphasis on reliability and critical appraisal of results. Ideal for readers of military science, firearms technology, and applied physics who want a solid, reference-ready overview of ballistics. Read more
