Ballistics: Theory and Design of Guns and Ammunition, Second Edition
"This book represents a complete self-contained reference for ballistics experts and gun designers. The material is written to allow the reader instant access to the fundamentals in the field, and shows practical examples across the entire spectrum of ballistics and guns. This is the only book that brings decades of research and engineering into one source that is readily accessible to both laymen and experts alike."––Kirk Vanden, Air Force Research Laboratory"This expanded second edition ofBallistics: Theory and Design of Guns and Ammunitionfills a critical need in the conventional weapons design arena by providing a balanced, technically detailed treatment of the field of ballistics. This text clearly presents the development of the physical theories and their application to the solution of real problems. The authors have created a valuable introduction to the technical world of ballistics."––Dr. Thomas A. Mason, Weapons Physics Directorate, Los Alamos National Laboratory""This book is a good reference as well as an outstanding book for teaching. There are a significant number of problems at the end of the chapters and this is always very helpful for teaching purposes."––Dr. Carl T. Dyka, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren,Virginia, USA
