The Bullet's Flight From Powder To Target: The Internal And External Ballistics Of Small Arms is a comprehensive guide to the science of ballistics as it pertains to small arms. Written by Franklin Weston Mann in 1909, the book covers the history of firearms and ammunition, as well as the physics behind the flight of a bullet from the moment it leaves the barrel until it strikes its target.The book is divided into three parts. Part I covers the internal ballistics of small arms, including the mechanics of the firing process, the properties of gunpowder and other propellants, and the behavior of bullets as they move through the barrel. Part II focuses on the external ballistics of small arms, including the effects of wind, gravity, and other factors on the trajectory of a bullet. Part III covers terminal ballistics, or the behavior of bullets upon impact with a target.Throughout the book, Mann provides detailed explanations of the scientific principles at work in ballistics, using diagrams and illustrations to help readers visualize the concepts. He also includes numerous examples and case studies to demonstrate how these principles apply in real-world situations.Overall, The Bullet's Flight From Powder To Target is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of ballistics, as well as for firearms enthusiasts, hunters, and military personnel.A Study Of Rifle Shooting With The Personal Element Excluded, Disclosing The Cause Of The Error At Target.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
