  2. Muzzle velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_velocity

    For projectiles in unpowered flight, its velocity is highest at leaving the muzzle and drops off steadily because of air resistance.Projectiles traveling less than the speed of sound (about 340 m/s (1,100 ft/s) in dry air at sea level) are subsonic, while those traveling faster are supersonic and thus can travel a substantial distance and even hit a target before a nearby observer hears the ...

  3. Hitscan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitscan

    Shooting the weapon calls the hitscan function, and if an object is detected in the projectile's path, a hit is registered. Since the effect is immediate, the projectiles effectively travel at infinite speed and have a linear or otherwise simple trajectory—a practical approximation of a bullet's speed and accuracy over short distances.

  4. Anzio 20mm rifle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzio_20mm_rifle

    The Anzio 20/50 has approximately 22,000 ft⋅lbf (30,000 J) of kinetic energy with an 800-grain (52 g) bullet. It does this by taking the .50 BMG projectile, which already is relatively large and travels extremely fast, and increases the already supersonic bullet to over 1.3 times its normal flight velocity, creating more kinetic energy ...

  5. Hypersonic weapon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_weapon

    The Silbervogel was the first design for a hypersonic weapon and was developed by German scientists in the 1930s, but was never constructed. [6]The ASALM (Advanced Strategic Air-Launched Missile) was a medium-range strategic missile program developed in the late 1970s for the United States Air Force; the missile's development reached the stage of propulsion-system testing, test-flown to Mach 5 ...

  6. .277 Wolverine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.277_Wolverine

    The .277 Wolverine has shown near-comparable performance to the 6.8 SPC with 110 gr (7.13 g) bullets, achieving similar muzzle velocities of 2,500 fps (762 m/s) vs. 2,700 fps (823 m/s). The smaller case of the .277 Wolverine (compared to the 6.8 SPC) is more efficient and has less recoil due to its smaller propellant load.

  7. Ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistics

    The arrow is perhaps the first lethal projectile ever described in discussion of ballistics. A string joins the two ends and when the string is drawn back, the ends of the stick are flexed. When the string is released, the potential energy of the flexed stick is transformed into the velocity of the arrow. [12]

  8. Muzzle booster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_booster

    A muzzle booster or recoil booster is a device fixed to the muzzle of a firearm, intended to harness the energy of the escaping propellant to augment the force of recoil on portions of the firearm. In spite of its name, a muzzle booster does not increase muzzle force or velocity but instead is usually used to improve the reliability and/or rate ...

  9. Terminal ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_ballistics

    Bullet parts: 1 metal jacket, 2 lead core, 3 steel penetrator. Terminal ballistics is a sub-field of ballistics concerned with the behavior and effects of a projectile when it hits and transfers its energy to a target. Bullet design (as well as the velocity of impact) largely determines the effectiveness of penetration. [1]
