  2. Shot grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_grouping

    The group on the right measures about 7 mm and was fired at about 90 meters, which equals ⁠ 7 mm / 90 m ⁠ = 0.08 mils (0.3 in group at 100 yards, approx. 1.047′×0.3 = 0.314′). In shooting sports , a shot grouping , or simply group , is the collective pattern of projectile impacts on a target from multiple consecutive shots taken in one ...

    According to Newtonian mechanics, if the gun and shooter are at rest initially, the force on the bullet will be equal to that on the gun-shooter. This is due to Newton's third law of motion (For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction). Consider a system where the gun and shooter have a combined mass m g and the bullet has a mass m b.

  8. Internal ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_ballistics

    In larger caliber firearms, the shot start pressure is often determined by the force required to initially engrave the projectile driving band into the start of the barrel rifling; smoothbore guns, which do not have rifling, achieve shot start pressure by initially driving the projectile into a "forcing cone" that provides resistance as it ...

    In the classic division a choice can be made between up to a 10-shot capacity 1911 with minor scoring (e.g. 9×19mm) or up to an eight-shot capacity 1911 with major scoring (e.g. .40 S&W or .45 ACP). In the revolver division major scoring can be achieved with a 9 mm bullet diameter, but with a power factor of 170.
