In ballistics, the ballistic coefficient (BC) of a bullet is a measure of its ability to overcome air resistance in flight.
A high BC means the object will slow down less.
It will have more of its speed left when it reaches the target.
BC depends on mass, diameter, and drag coefficient.
Ballistic coefficient has units of lb/in² or kg/m².
BCs for bullets are normally stated in lb/in² by their manufacturers without referring to this unit.
The values for BC can be as low as 0.12 and as high as 1.00 for commonly used bullets.
Bullet performance
A bullet with a high BC will travel farther than one with a low BC since  it will keep its speed better, resist the wind better, and “shoot flatter” (see external ballistics).
When hunting with a rifle, a higher BC is good for several reasons.
A higher BC results in a flatter flight.
The effect of mistakes in estimating the distance to the target is smaller for  bullet with a higher BC.
This is important when attempting an effective hit on a game animal.
If the target animal is closer than estimated, then the bullet will hit higher than expected.
On the other hand, if the animal is further than estimated the bullet will hit lower than expected.
Such a difference in bullet drop can make the difference between a clean kill and a wounded animal.
This difference in flight path becomes more important at longer distances.
Sometimes, the difference in two bullet designs fired from the same rifle can result in a difference between the two of over 30 cm (1 foot) at 500 meters (550 yards).
A bullet with a high BC arrives at the target faster and with more energy than one with a low BC.
General trends
Sporting bullets have BC’s in the range 0.12 to slightly over 1.00, with high being the most aerodynamic, and low being the least.
Very-low-drag bullets with BCs ≥ 1.10 can be designed and produced on special lathes using mono-metal rods.
These special bullets often have to be fired from custom made full bore rifles with special barrels.
Bullet makers often offer several weights and types for a given size.
Heavy-for-caliber pointed (spitzer) bullets with a boat tail design have high BCs.
Lighter bullets with square tails and blunt noses have lower BCs.
In the larger sizes, the .338 Lapua Magnum and the .50 BMG are popular with very high BC bullets for shooting beyond 1000 meters.
They have very high BCs.
Other choices in the larger size are the .375 and .408 Cheyenne Tactical and the .416 Barrett.
Changes in bullet ballistic coefficients
Differences in BC claims for exactly the same projectiles can be explained by differences in the air density used for these BC statements or differing range-speed measurements on which the stated G1 BC averages are based.
The BC changes during a projectile's flight and stated BCs are always averages for certain distances and speeds.
Some more explanation about the transient nature of a projectile's G1 BC  during flight can be found at the external ballistics article.
This article suggests that knowing how a BC was established is almost as important as knowing the stated BC value itself.
To find the correct BC (osome scientists would call it drag coefficients), Doppler radar-measurements are required.
The normal shooting or aerodynamics person, however, does not have this expensive equipment.
Weibel 1000e Doppler radars are used by governments, professional ballisticians, defense forces, and a few ammunition manufacturers to get exact real world data on the flight behavior of projectiles of interest.
Test results came from many shots, not just a single shot.
Any single bullet can have a  very different BC than another.
It is important to know the average behavior of a bullet.
How different speed regimes affect several rifle bullets made by Lapua can be seen in the .338 Lapua Magnum product brochure which states Doppler radar established BC data.
Mathematical models and bullet ballistic coefficients
Most ballistic mathematical models and hence tables or software assume that one specific drag function correctly describes the drag and hence the flight characteristics of a bullet related to its ballistics coefficient.
Those models do not have any differences for wadcutter, flat-based, spitzer, boat-tail, very-low-drag, etc.
bullet types or shapes.
However, some different drag curve models have been made for several standard projectile shapes.

Trajectory of a projectile Ballistic coefficient can be used to calculated the path of a projectile.
The above page lacks any practical application of BC.
BC is an easy way to account for air resistance.

Michael Christopher "Mike" Starr (April 4, 1966 – March 8, 2011) was an American musician.
He is best known as the playing bass guitar in Alice in Chains.
Starr was an original member of Alice in Chains since they were formed in 1987.
Starr left Alice in Chains in 1993 which lead singer Layne Staley said to be "just a difference in priorities.
We wanted to continue intense touring and press, Mike was ready to go home.".
Starr appeared on the VH1 television series Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2010.
Police found Starr dead on March 8, 2011.
Dr. Drew said that Starr's death was caused from "a prescription-drug overdose."
Andre Young (born February 18, 1965), known as Dr. Dre is an American rapper, record producer, audio engineer, record executive, and entrepreneur.
He has had many records and songs throughout the years and is one of the most famous producers in hip-hop.
He has made albums with many rappers through their careers, including Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent and The Game.
As of 2011, Dr. Dre is ranked as the third richest rapper by Forbes and is worth two-hundred & fifty million dollars ($250,000,000).
Dre began his career in music as a member of the World Class Wreckin' Cru and he later found fame with the gangsta rap group N.W.A. with Eazy-E, Ice Cube, MC Ren, and DJ Yella which made the use of swear words in rap songs in rap to tell about the violence of street life popular.
During the 2000s, he produced music for other artists, while sometimes rapping with other artists' on their songs.
Dr. Dre signed Eminem to his Aftermath record label in 1998 and 50 Cent in 2003 helping to make their albums with them.
Rolling Stone magazine said Dr. Dre was one of the richest performers in 2001 and 2004.
Dr. Dre was also in movies such as Set It Off, and the 2001 movies The Wash and Training Day.
Because he liked Grandmaster Flash, he often went to a club called The Eve After Dark to see a lot of DJs and rappers performing live.
He then became a DJ in the club, at first under the name "Dr. J", his favourite basketball player.
At the club, he met DJ Yella for the first time.
Soon afterwards he started using the name Dr. Dre, half his old nickname, and half his first name, also calling himself as the Master of Mixology.
He later joined the musical group World Class Wreckin' Cru in 1984.
The group would become stars of the electro-hop scene that was really popular in early 1980s West Coast hip hop, and their first hit Surgery would feature Dr. Dre on the turntables and sell 50,000 tapes within Compton.
Dr. Dre and DJ Yella also did mixes for local radio stations, making the ratings for it's show Afternoon Traffic Jam go higher.
Dr. Dre's earliest songs were released in 1994 on a CD called Concrete Roots.
He was a diver in high school, but because he skipped school a lot, he was kicked off the team.
After high school, he went to Chester Adult School in Compton because his mother told him to get a job or go back to school.
After going to a broadcasting school for a little bit, he moved to his father's house, and then his grandparents house before going back to his mother's house.
He later dropped out of Chester to focus on performing at the Eve's After Dark nightclub.
In 1986, Dr. Dre met Ice Cube, who with Dr. Dre, made songs for Ruthless Records, a rap record label run by local rapper Eazy-E. N.W.A and fellow West Coast rapper Ice-T are normally said to be the creators of gangsta rap.
N.W.A favoured themes and explicit lyrics, offering real descriptions of violent, inner-city streets.
With the hit Fuck tha Police, the group's first full album Straight Outta Compton became a big hit, despite almost no radio airplay or concerts.
The FBI sent Eazy-E a warning letter for the song's content.
After Ice Cube left N.W.A in 1989 over money issues, Dr. Dre produced and performed for much of the group's second album Efil4Zaggin (Niggas for life).
He also produced tracks for other rap acts on Ruthless Records, including The D.O.C.'s 1989 album No One Can Do It Better.
In 1991, at a party in Hollywood, he slapped Dee Barnes of the TV show Pump it Up, feeling upset about a news report she did about the feud between them and Ice Cube.
Dr. Dre was fined $2,500 and given two years' probation and 240 hours of community service, as well as a spot on an anti-violence public service announcement on television.
The Chronic & Death Row
After an argument with Eazy-E over money, Dre left the group in 1991 under the advice of a friend, The D.O.C. and his bodyguard at the time, Suge Knight.
Knight, a known strongman, was able to have Eazy-E release Dre from his contract and, start Death Row Records.
In 1992 Dre released his first single with Snoop Dogg; Deep Cover.
Dr. Dre's first album was The Chronic.
Dre brought a new style of rap, both in terms of style and words.
The Chronic became really popular and had lots of big singles.
Its sound was really popular with hip hop music for the early 1990s.
In 1993, Dr. Dre also won a Grammy Award for Let Me Ride.
That year, Billboard magazine Dr. Dre was the eighth best-selling musical artist, The Chronic was the sixth best-selling album, and Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang (the first single from the album) as the 11th best-selling single.
Besides working on his own music, Dr. Dre produced Snoop Dogg's first album Doggystyle.
In 1994, Dr. Dre produced some songs on the soundtracks for the films Above the Rim and Murder Was the Case.
He rapped with fellow ex-N.W.A member Ice Cube for the song Natural Born Killaz in 1995.
For the film Friday, Dre recorded Keep Their Heads Ringin, which reached No.10 in the charts.
In 1995, just as Death Row Records signed 2Pac, Young left the label because of a contract dispute and he was worried that Suge Knight wasn't doing things legally.
In 1996, he made his own label, Aftermath Entertainment, with Interscope Records.
Death Row then suffered poor sales in 1997, after the death of 2Pac.
Aftermath Entertainment, Eminem & 2001 album
Dr. Dre released Dr. Dre Presents the Aftermath, released in 1996, with songs by Dr. Dre  new Aftermath Entertainment rappers.
Been There, Done That, was saying that he was bored of gangsta rap.
Despite selling a lot of copies of the album, it was not very popular among music fans.
In October 1996, Dre rapped Been There, Done That on popular American TV show, Saturday Night Live.
Despite the mixed reception to his label's album, Dr. Dre was on two No.1 singles in the charts in 1996, they were California Love by 2Pac and No Diggity by Blackstreet.
They were Dr. Dre's first No.1 songs since being with N.W.A.
Aftermath gained more popularity in 1998, Dr. Dre signed Eminem, a rapper from Detroit.
Dre produced three songs and sung with him on two of them on Eminem's first album The Slim Shady LP.
My Name Is, the first single from the album, made Eminem famous.
The album sold lots of copies.
Dr. Dre's second album, 2001, released in 1999, was his return to gangsta rap.
It was at first called The Chronic 2000 as a sequel to his first album The Chronic, but was changed to 2001 after Death Row released an unrelated album called Chronic 2000: Still Smokin in 1999.
The album has also been called by fans 'The Chronic 2001' and 'The Chronic 2'.
The album featured a lot of guests, including Devin the Dude, Hittman, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Nate Dogg and Eminem.

So Weird was a Disney Channel television show about a girl of 14 called Fiona Phillips, played by Cara Delizia.
She was obsessed with the occult.
She was the daughter of a singer named Molly Phillips, played by Mackenzie Phillips, and had a brother, age 16, named Jack.
Fiona was played by Cara Delizia.
In the series her singer mother homeschools her and they travel around the country by bus.
In the series Fi's brother is skeptical of the occult.
Their father was obsessed with it but died when Fi was only 3.
Later on in the series Fi meets an entity called a will o' the wisp who seems to know her father and gives her information about him.
He takes possession of her brother Jack's body in one episode until she expels him by discovering his name and saying it through a computer puzzle based on a hint he gives her.
His name is Bricriu.
Bricriu in a later episode takes possession of her mother's body and tries to prevent her from meeting a man who knows who killed her father.
Bricriu lets slip to her that his allies in the spirit, although not Bricriu himself, murdered her father because of his investigations into their world.
He finally meets Fi again in the first episode of season 3 and convinces her to give up interest in the occult in order to protect her family.
Fi stopped appearing in the show after that episode.
Fi met her father by time traveling to her third year in the episode Fountain.
The first two seasons of the show, particularly the second, were dark.
In the second season Fi even meets vampires.
However, in the third season Disney decided to choose a lighter tone.
Also Delizia left the show in the third season so she was replaced by Alex Johnson who played a new character called Annie who replaced Fi.

She has been called "the greatest Spanish gypsy dancer of her generation".
and "the most extrardinary personality of all time in flamenco dance".
She danced from the time she was 4 years old.
Accompanied on the guitar by her father, she danced in waterfront bars in Barcelona.
A young person who saw her dance as a girl was the Spanish guitarist Sabicas (Agustín Castellón Campos).
He later said "I saw her dance and it seemed like something supernatural to me... I never saw anyone dance like her.
I don’t know how she did it, I just don’t know!".
Sabicas accompanied her for many years.
He recorded Queen of the Gypsies (1959) and Flamenco!
with Amaya.
In 1929, she made her debut in Paris, to warm acclaims and admiration of her dancing skill.
She moved to America in 1936, where she went on to act in several movies that broke box office records, including the Romeo and Juliet adaptation Los Tarantos, and the short movie Danzas Gitanas (Gypsy dances).
Amaya often danced in trousers rather than the layered skirt traditional for female flamenco dancers.
One theory is that she did this to give more scope to her footwork, which was exceptional, and rather like a flamenco male dancer.
Apparently, in early flamenco, women did not do so much footwork, and male dancers used to fill in the steps while sitting on chairs, unseen in the wings.p100 Her style has been described as repetitive because she always did the same dances: "Carmen was a fabulous dancer, but limited" (Antonio Ruiz Soler).

Gas is present in large amounts so it will be divided in gas bubbles separated by liquid regions which may form films, thinner and thinner when the liquid phase is drained out of the system.
When the scale is small, e.g. for fine foam, this dispersed medium can be considered as a type of colloid.
