Military Ballistics: A Basic Manual (Land Warfare ; V. 13)

There 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, with reference to its military applications. The subject is broadly divided into its components of internal, intermediate, external and terminal ballistics. Intended for use by both army officer and scientist, some chapters are divided into two sections - the first largely qualitative while the second provides a mathematical background for further study.
