Description

“The Bullet’s Flight From Powder to Target – The Internal and External Ballistics of Small Arms” by Franklin W.Mann. Reprint. Wolfe Publishing 1980. Hardcover. Very good condition.

A comprehensive guide to the science of ballistics specifically focused on the mechanics of small arms. The book covers internal and external ballistics, exploring the physics behind the movement of bullets from the moment they are fired to the point of impact with a target.  Throughout the book, Mann uses clear and concise language to explain complex scientific concepts, making it accessible to both the layperson and the expert.

The book begins with an overview of the history of ballistics, then the technical aspects of the subject, including the properties of gunpowder, the mechanics of the firearm, and the trajectory of the bullet. Mann provides explanations of the factors that affect the bullet’s flight, such as wind resistance, gravity, and air resistance. He also discusses the various types of small arms, including rifles, pistols, and shotguns, and how their design affects their performance.
