2. M829 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M829

   The propulsion system uses an obturating case base with a semi-combustible cartridge wall. It has a total weight of 41.1 lb (18.6 kg) and a 627 mm (24.7 in) DU penetrator with a 27 mm (1.1 in) rod diameter, [2] which reaches a muzzle velocity of 1,670 meters per second (5,500 ft/s) using 8.1 kg (18 lb) of JA-2 propellant. Its maximum effective ...

3. Taylor knock-out factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_knock-out_factor

   The Taylor KO factor multiplies bullet mass (measured in grains) by muzzle velocity (measured in feet per second) by bullet diameter (measured in inches) and then divides the product by 7,000, converting the value from grains to pounds and giving a numerical value from 0 to ~150 for normal hunting cartridges.

   Projectile dimension: 410 mm 10: 1 L/d; Projectile weight (including sabot): 5.67 kg; Projectile weight: 3.6 kg; Muzzle velocity: 1800 m/s; Muzzle energy: 5.8 MJ; Penetration: 245 mm at 0° at 2000 m, 140 mm at 60° at 2000 m, (energy at 2000 m is 4.2 MJ)

5. Muzzle clamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_clamp

   The muzzle clamp is a method of killing used by big predators, usually cats such as Panthera leo, the lion, Panthera pardus, the leopard, and Panthera uncia, the snow leopard. It requires the subduing of prey , usually completely on the ground and pinned by the predator, and the engulfing of the muzzle of the prey entirely in the mouth of the ...

6. Muzzle energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_energy

   There is wide variation in commercial ammunition. A 180 gr (12 g) bullet fired from .357 Magnum handgun can achieve a muzzle energy of 580 ft⋅lbf (790 J). A 110 gr (7.1 g) bullet fired from the same gun might only achieve 400 ft⋅lbf (540 J) of muzzle energy, depending upon the manufacturer of the cartridge.

8. Ballistic table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_table

   Example of a ballistic table for a given 7.62×51mm NATO load. Bullet drop and wind drift are shown both in mrad and MOA.. A ballistic table or ballistic chart, also known as the data of previous engagements (DOPE) chart, is a reference data chart used in long-range shooting to predict the trajectory of a projectile and compensate for physical effects of gravity and wind drift, in order to ...

9. Internal ballistics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_ballistics

   Nevertheless, there is significantly more to accuracy and cartridge lethality than the length and diameter of the case, and the 7.62×51mm NATO has a smaller case capacity than the .30-06 Springfield, [17] reducing the amount of propellant that can be used, directly reducing the bullet weight and muzzle velocity combination that contributes to ...
