Wondering about what generates the spin drift? Curious to know more about the yaw of repose? In this article we will examine the reason behind this behaviors of the bullet in flight. In Bullet Trajectory part 2, we found that spin drift is a deflection generated by the gyroscopic motion of the bullet. The direction of the deflection is toward the direction of the spin, and … [Read more...]
Lately, we've been talking about long range shooting, but what better place to start then with some ballistics theory. In the last post in this series, bullet trajectory part 1, I talked about the variables that determine the vertical component of bullet trajectory. In this article we will examine what happens on the horizontal plane. On the horizontal plane, the bullet does … [Read more...]
