ISBN 0-08-028343-8There are many textbooks on ballistics written primarily for the specialist. However, none of these offers a simple introduction to this complex subject. This volume concentrates on the principles of ballistics, illustrated by reference to military applications. The subject is broadly divided into its components of internal, intermediate, external and terminal ballistics. As the book is intended for use by both the army officer and scientist, some of the chapters are divided into two sections. The first part is largely qualitative while the second part provides a mathematical background for further study.Contents:
