Projectile Motion Essay

rails is a groove carved out to fit in a small projectile, which can be aluminum, graphite, or copper.[1] The way the gun works is that the power source sends an electric current up one rail, going through the projectile, and down the second rail. The result is a powerful magnetic field that causes the projectile to be thrown out of the barrel at high speeds. This phenomenon has been named Lorentz Force.[2] Due to the design of the rails, the projectile accelerates as it moves up the barrel. All

bullets. The video gave an overview of the projectiles themselves and also showed the method in which they are to be loaded. The video began by stating that the projectiles were sent to him to be tested and he did not swage the swaged projectiles that are being shown in the video. The projectiles were unique in the fact that the person that swaged them used a die that would allow the used brass from a .40 S&W to be formed into a jacket for a .451 caliber projectile that are to used to load .45 ACP. The

Gun violence kills 33,000 Americans and injures over 80,000 people per year. It is ridiculous how much damage guns have brought to not only us, but the world itself. From Columbine, to Sandy Hook, to the movie theatre to the Oregon Community College shooting, it has just been ridiculous. This is all because we in America believe it is okay for people to carry guns and for them to be used if “needed”. If they were always banned to begin with, we would never have had this problem. The private ownership

How would you feel if you just had a loved one taken from you by a reckless gun holder? Every year the number of killings via handgun have been constant throughout a majority of the country, and in some places it has even increased! With the perpetual fear of giving a psychotic person a deadly weapon as we have seen happen in the past, no one is guaranteed safe. The idea that they should regulate handguns as we do motor vehicles is completely absurd. However, improvements can be made by understanding

Prepper Journal: Panic Buying Maybe That's What They Want Panic buying is the act of buying unusually large amounts of product in anticipation. In anticipation of a perceived or actual disaster, or anticipation of price increases, shortages, or because of anticipated governmental action, action that may ban or increase governmental regulation of a particular product.

description of the .30 caliber projectile, what considers the projectile to be a .30 caliber projectile, the vast number of .30 caliber specific ammunition available today and why it is the most common and popular caliber to date. A .30 caliber is considered so due to the size of the projectile itself not by the cartridge. That is where most people get confused. If you look back our old U.S. Model M1 Carbine was a .30 caliber rifle. When talking about a .30 caliber projectile you are generally talking

Almost all modernized rifles today are either tapped or pre-drilled to accept bases or grooved for mounting attachments such as optics. The first step any rifle owner should accomplish is, making sure the rifle is safe and clear. The rifle should be placed on a rifle vise, plug screws removed, mount degreased and receiver wiped clean. When scope mounting, the first step is to ensure that the base the shooter is mounting, properly fits the rifle. For every rifle the manufacturer should have a listing

The best practices for processing firearms evidence include: unloading revolvers, if the firearm or gun contains a revolver, it should be marked to indicate its position as found. The position of the cartridge should be recorded in field notes as diagrammed below. All cartridges or cases removed should be handled to preserve fingerprints. Each cartridge case should be packaged separately and referenced to the information in the field notes (California Dept. of Justice, 1984). For unloading

At this years Black Hat hacker conference, security researchers, Runa Sandvik and Michael Auger, will demonstrate how they are able to exploit the vulnerabilities of a self-targeting sniper rifle to change the scope’s variables when planning out a shot, and even bricking the rifle altogether. Sandvik and Auger Plan to Hack a Pair of $13,000 TrackingPoint Rifles Sandvik and Auger are a married hacker couple and have spent a year researching a way to hack into these smart rifles. The techniques allow
