The civilian organisations C.I.P. and SAAMI use less comprehensive test procedures than NATO, but NATO test centres have the advantage that only a few chamberings are in military use. The C.I.P. and SAAMI proof houses must be capable of testing hundreds of different chamberings requiring many different test barrels, etc.
Test Standards now define how many shots must be used to estimate a v 0 for the armor certification. This procedure defines a confidence interval of an estimate of v 0. (See "NIJ and HOSDB test methods".) v 0 is difficult to measure, so a second concept has been developed in ballistic testing called the ballistic limit (v 50). This is the ...
It is commonly used in conjunction with EN 1522 (Euronorm standard for Bullet Resistance in Windows, Doors, Shutters and Blinds) to form a ballistic classification system by which armored vehicles and structures are tested and rated. [1]
Transitional ballistics, also known as intermediate ballistics, [26] is the study of a projectile's behavior from the time it leaves the muzzle until the pressure behind the projectile is equalized, [27] so it lies between internal ballistics and external ballistics.
Internal ballistics: A subfield of ballistics, that is the study of a projectile's behavior from the time its propellant's igniter is initiated until it exits the gun barrel. The study of internal ballistics is important to designers and users of firearms of all types, from small-bore Olympic rifles and pistols, to high-tech artillery.

After test firing the guns, Goddard proved that the weapons were those used to kill the members of the North Side Gang, absolving the Chicago police department of all involvement. [12] The successful use of Goddard's technique resulted in the solidification of his place as the father of forensic firearm examination.
