  2. 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.

  3. Gun dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_dynamics

    Environmental conditions will both affect consistency (e.g. variable wind conditions down range), or accuracy (e.g. change in temperature and hence air density which affects the external trajectory). In some cases, these are accountable and could possibly be corrected in the fire control system .

  4. Hydraulic recoil mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_recoil_mechanism

    The usual recoil system in modern quick-firing guns is the hydro-pneumatic recoil system. In this system, the barrel is mounted on rails on which it can recoil to the rear, and the recoil is taken up by a cylinder which is similar in operation to an automotive gas-charged shock absorber , and is commonly visible as a cylinder mounted parallel ...

  5. Accurizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accurizing

    These changes can affect accuracy either by allowing the action to shift under recoil, or by causing slight but accuracy-destroying bending of the barrel. By removing wood from areas of contact and, when needed, replacing it with a more stable substance that is precisely fitted, such as a fiberglass composite molded in place, a more stable ...

  6. Recoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recoil

    The recoil force only acts during the time that the ejecta are still in the barrel of the gun. The counter-recoil force is generally applied over a longer time period and adds forward momentum to the gun equal to the backward momentum supplied by the recoil force, in order to bring the gun to a halt.

  7. Batting average on balls in play - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batting_average_on_balls...

    As compared to batting average, which is simply hits divided by at bats, BABIP excludes home runs and strikeouts from consideration while treating sacrifice flies as hitless at bats. In Major League Baseball (MLB), .300 is considered an average BABIP. [2]

    Then Dave Roberts plays his golden at-bat card, and you have to face the best hitter in baseball all over again. Or, say, you're facing the Yankees and load the bases against the Nos. 5, 6, and 7 ...

    Schlieren High-Speed Video Of Shotshell Transitional Intermediate Ballistics. Transitional ballistics, also known as intermediate ballistics, [1] is the study of a projectile's behavior from the time it leaves the muzzle until the pressure behind the projectile is equalized, so it lies between internal ballistics and external ballistics.
