INTERIOR BALLISTIC EFFECTS OF GUN EROSION

Abstract

The equations which serve as the basis of the present interior ballistic tables for multi-perforated powder are modified herein to account for arbitrary engraving resistance 'patterns'. From empirical data, estimates are made of the engraving resistance patterns for a particular type of weapon. Using these patterns and the modified equations, interior ballistic trajectories are computed by numerical integration under conditions designed to investigate certain effects of the engraving resistance and its interaction with other interior ballistic variables.
