The main aim of a theoretical simulation of the dynamics of the barrel, mounting, and shot, is to predict the sensitivity of the shot exit conditions to variations in the gun system parameters. This will then assist the gun designer to produce suitable designs and keep manufacturing tolerances within reasonable limits, while maintaining good ...
The Colt Canada C7 is the Canadian military’s adoption of Colt's Armalite AR-15 platform, manufactured by Colt Canada (formerly Diemaco), having similar design and function to the M16A3. The C7 and its variants have been adopted as the standard-issue rifle by the militaries of Canada, [2] Norway (special forces only), Denmark and the Netherlands.
The drop table can be generated empirically using data taken by the shooter at a rifle range; calculated using a ballistic simulator; or is provided by the rifle/cartridge manufacturer. The drop values are measured or calculated assuming the rifle has been zeroed at a specific range. The bullet will have a drop value of zero at the zero range.
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 ...

The ballistic coefficient of an atmospheric reentry vehicle has a significant effect on its behavior. A very high ballistic coefficient vehicle would lose velocity very slowly and would impact the Earth's surface at higher speeds. In contrast, a low ballistic coefficient vehicle would reach subsonic speeds before reaching the ground. [75]
In 1958, ArmaLite submitted ten AR-15s and one hundred 25-round magazines for CONARC testing. [3] The tests found that a five to seven man team armed with AR-15s had the same firepower as an 11-man team armed with M14s [ 40 ] and soldiers armed with AR-15s could also carry three times more ammunition than those armed with M14s (649 rounds vs ...
525 MOWAG Piranha armoured personnel carriers (APCs) have been sold by General Dynamics to Saudi Arabia since 1990. [5] In 2018 CBC obtained records showing that the deal struck in 2014 involved 928 of the most modern LAVs, the General Dynamics Land Systems Canada LAV 6. Of those, 354 are standard troop carriers, 119 of them are "heavy duty ...
