  2. Accurizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accurizing

    The first step to accuracy of a piston gun is to ensure that all screws are secure and the sights are rated for use on a piston airgun. Another potential issue regarding accuracy is resonance in the spring used to power the piston in most airguns. The spring will vibrate strongly as the piston stops, and this will affect the harmonics of the gun.

  3. Heckler & Koch Mark 23 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_&_Koch_Mark_23

    The barrel is manufactured with polygonal rifling, which is reported to improve accuracy and durability, and is much more expensive to produce. [12] [14] It also features an ambidextrous safety and magazine release on both sides of the frame. The magazine release is at the rear edge of the trigger guard, which is wide enough to allow the use of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PITCHf/x

    PITCHf/x is a system using three permanently mounted cameras in the stadium to track the speed and location of a pitched baseball from the pitcher's mound to home plate with an accuracy of better than one mile per hour and one inch. With PITCHf/x, statistics such as the pitcher with the fastest fastball, or the pitcher with the sharpest ...

    Additionally, the company makes flash suppressors for installation on the M240 machine gun and M249 SAW with the NATO Stock Number 1005-01-600-857, PN 1041V. [15] Vortex Flash Hiders can be installed on traditional bolt-action rifles and rifles such as the Ruger 10/22, Ruger Mini-14 and Ruger Mini-30, if the barrel is cut for the appropriate ...

  6. Hitting mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitting_mechanics

    In baseball, hitting mechanics studies the biomechanical motion that governs the swing of a baseball player. The goal of biomechanics in hitting during baseball training is to study and improve upon the physics involved in hitting. This includes optimizing a player's swing for either maximizing their "bat speed" or time for plate coverage.

  7. Overhand throw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhand_throw

    In the overhead throwing motion the body is a kinetic chain, and the efficiency of the kinetic chain determines the quality of the throw (velocity and accuracy of the projectile). The thrower uses muscle segments throughout the whole body to transfer potential energy from the lower extremities to the upper extremities where it is then ...

  8. Silencer (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silencer_(firearms)

    A silencer, also known as a sound suppressor, suppressor, or sound moderator, is a muzzle device that suppresses the blast created when a gun (firearm or airgun) is discharged, thereby reducing the acoustic intensity of the muzzle report (sound of a gunshot) and jump, by modulating the speed and pressure of the propellant gas released from the ...

  9. Control pitcher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_pitcher

    In baseball, a control pitcher, also known as a finesse pitcher, is a pitcher who succeeds mostly by using accurate pitches, as opposed to a power pitcher who relies on velocity. By issuing a below average number of bases on balls they exhibit good control of their pitches . [ 1 ]
