Ballistic gelatin is traditionally a solution of gelatin powder in water. Ballistic gelatin closely simulates the density and viscosity of human and animal muscle tissue, and is used as a standardized medium for testing the terminal performance of firearms ammunition. While ballistic gelatin does not model the tensile strength of muscles or the ...
Gelignite (/ ˈ dʒ ɛ l ɪ ɡ n aɪ t /), also known as blasting gelatin or simply "jelly", is an explosive material consisting of collodion-cotton (a type of nitrocellulose or guncotton) dissolved in either nitroglycerine or nitroglycol and mixed with wood pulp and saltpetre (sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate).
He is credited with a number of contributions to the field of terminal ballistics, including: [6] [7] [8] Developing and testing improved media in which the effects of bullet wounds could be simulated. This led to the widespread acceptance of 10% ballistic gelatin for evaluating penetration and expansion of projectiles.
The penetration in gelatin (but not necessarily the kinetic energy) ... Ballistics. 185 gr (12 g) JHP, 1200 ft/s, 591 ft-lb, 222 power factor;
Police said Luigi Mangione, the man charged in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, appears to have had a ghost gun, a weapon that can be made using a 3D printer.
Two Russian airports were put under flight restrictions early Saturday after authorities alleged an attack by Ukrainian drones, according to state-run news agencies.
Terminal ballistics is a sub-field of ballistics concerned with the behavior and effects of a projectile when it hits and transfers its energy to a target. Bullet design (as well as the velocity of impact) largely determines the effectiveness of penetration.
Let’s face it: the world is designed for right-handed folks, from notebooks and pens to instruments, gears, and tools.Left-handed people have to struggle to find things that work for them or ...
