  2. Caliber (artillery) - Wikipedia

    These are a measure of the standardized length of the barrel versus the rifled bore of the barrel. In other words, a 12/45 is 12"×45= the length of the rifled bore of that gun in inches. This explains the differences in both penetration and long range performance of various naval rifles over the years.

  3. Accurizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accurizing

    Comparison of milliradian (mil) and minute of arc (moa).. Since adjusting the point of impact to match the point of aim is relatively simple with any type of adjustable sights, the primary goal of accurizing is to increase the precision of the firearm, which is generally measured by looking at the dispersion of a number of shots fired at the same point of aim.

  4. Electronic scoring system - Wikipedia

    In 2010, Sius Ascor released Laserscore, the first electronic target system using lasers: it is able to determine the position of a bullet with a claimed accuracy of a few hundredths of a millimeter [15] by using three infrared lasers. Since the measuring method is optical there is no need for a rubber or paper belt as used in some acoustic ...

  5. Internal ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_ballistics

    Since barrel length is limited by practical concerns to about arm's length for a rifle and much shorter for a handgun, increasing bore diameter is the normal way to increase the efficiency of a cartridge. The limit to bore diameter is generally the sectional density of the projectile (see external ballistics).

  6. Small arms ammunition pressure testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_arms_ammunition...

    The piezo measuring device (transducer) is positioned at a distance of 25 millimetres (0.98 in) from the breech face when the length of the cartridge case permits that, including limits. When the length of the cartridge case is too short, pressure measurement will take place at a chambering specific defined shorter distance from the breech face ...

  7. Comparison of the AK-47 and M16 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_the_AK-47...

    The barrel and overall length were shorter than a traditional rifle and it had a pistol grip to hold the weapon more securely in automatic fire. The principle of this weapon — the reduction of muzzle impulse to get usable automatic fire within the actual ranges of combat — was probably the most important advance in small arms since the ...

    In addition, Desert Tech presented their research data that clearly showed suppressors significantly improve the accuracy of Rifles by upwards of 1 MOA for the MDR. [19] For comparison on September 23rd 2022, Desert Tech asserted the worst accuracy in the MDRx was in .308 in the 16" length barrel. The resulting performance was 1.6 MOA ...

  9. Ballistics by the Inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistics_by_the_Inch

    Each brand of ammunition in each caliber/cartridge was tested at 18". Then, the barrel was removed and 1" was cut off the end of the barrel and the cut end was dressed. Once all the cartridges had been tested at 18" and the barrels were cut and ready, each brand was tested again at 17" and so on, right down to a 2" barrel.
