Ballistic coefficient (BC) Ballistic coefficient Measure of a projectile's ability to overcome air resistance; depends on mass, cross-sectional area and shape. Used to predict trajectory, retained velocity, wind drift, and energy…
Ballistic trauma (gunshot wounds): causes, effects and management Ballistic trauma Ballistic trauma, or gunshot wounds, are injuries from projectiles. This article covers mechanisms of injury, wound patterns, clinical care, historical context, forensic uses, and…
Ballistics: the science of projectile motion and effects Ballistics Ballistics is the study of the motion, behavior and effects of projectiles—from barrel dynamics and external trajectories to terminal impacts—applied in engineering, forensics, def…
