  2. Ballistic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_table

    Example of a ballistic table for a given 7.62×51mm NATO load. Bullet drop and wind drift are shown both in mrad and MOA.. A ballistic table or ballistic chart, also known as the data of previous engagements (DOPE) chart, is a reference data chart used in long-range shooting to predict the trajectory of a projectile and compensate for physical effects of gravity and wind drift, in order to ...

    The Excel application then employs custom macroinstructions to calculate the trajectory variables of interest. A modified 4th order Runge–Kutta integration algorithm is used. Like Pejsa, Colonel Manges claims center-fired rifle accuracies to the nearest one tenth of an inch for bullet position, and nearest foot per second for the projectile ...

  4. Rifleman's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifleman's_rule

    The rule says that only the horizontal range should be considered when adjusting a sight or performing hold-over in order to account for bullet drop. Typically, the range of an elevated target is considered in terms of the slant range , incorporating both the horizontal distance and the elevation distance (possibly negative, i.e. downhill), as ...

  5. Ballistic coefficient - Wikipedia

    The formula for calculating the ballistic coefficient for small and large arms projectiles only is as follows: = [2] where: C b,projectile, ballistic coefficient as used in point mass trajectory from the Siacci method (less than 20 degrees). [3] m, mass of bullet

  6. List of guitar tunings - Wikipedia

    (Certain microtonal scales, particularly quarter tones, can be played on a standard guitar solely by adjusting tunings, but the distance between notes on the scale makes it somewhat impractical.) It is possible to play microtonal scales on a fretless guitar , to convert a fretted guitar into a fretless, or to make a custom neck with a specific ...

    Thus, the power factor in a way reflects recoil. The power factor must exceed certain thresholds, and is calculated by measuring the bullet speed using a chronograph and measuring another of the competitor's bullets on a weighing scale to find the bullet mass, thereafter calculating the power factor by the formula:

  8. Nashville Number System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville_Number_System

    The Nashville Number System is a method of transcribing music by denoting the scale degree on which a chord is built. It was developed by Neal Matthews Jr. in the late 1950s as a simplified system for the Jordanaires to use in the studio and further developed by Charlie McCoy. [1]
