Exterior ballistics

Mayevskii, N.V. (1823—1892), eminent Russian ballistician and originator of the science of Exterior Ballistics. He was equally known for work in the field of Interior Ballistics. In 1856 he designed a method of measuring the pressures in various sections of a gun barrel on firing. In 1867 he conducted expts to detn projectile velocity and correlated press with velocity Refs 1) Hayes, Elements of Ordnance , J. Wiley, NY, 437 (1938) 2) A.D. Blinov, Kurs-... 

Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS).. In this type of projectile, a carbide core, either capped or uncapped, is placed inside a steel or light-alloy sheath (fitted with a tracer) to give good exterior ballistic characteristics, and this subcaliber assembly is placed inside a full-caliber carrier. This carrier (sabot) is so designed that it will impart velocity and spin to the subcaliber projectile. 

This type of proj has, therefore, the advantage of good exterior ballistics from die standpoint of ballistic coefficient. However, the swaged down skirts make imperfect contact with die proj body, thus creating generating points for retarding shock waves at high velocities...

In recent years, bullet design has been concerned not only with exterior ballistics and accuracy, but wound effect. Designers, for the first time, have had at their disposal the benefit of specific research into wound ballistics. Some of the solutions offered are shown below, often in conjunction with the weapon solutions already referred to...

Aero Cyanamid. A trade name for the commercial Ca cyanamide manufd by the American Cyanamid Co Aerodynamics and Its Application in Bol-listics. Aerodynamics is the branch of dynamics which studies the motion of gases, the forces acting on bodies moving through gases(such as air), and the forces involved when gases move past bodies. Aerodynamics is involved in exterior ballistics and in aeronautics...
