Change in Muzzle Velocity due to a Change in Propellant Temperature for SmallArms Ammunition

摘要

The available muzzle velocity test data for small arms ammunition were analyzedto determine the change in muzzle velocity due to variations in propellant temperature. This change in muzzle velocity must be quantified in order to provide range safety data for the small arms weapon systems. This task was accomplished through the analysis of Ball and Improved Military Rifle (IMR) propellants.
