DAMPING OF CALIBERS 0.30 AND 0.50 BULLETS AND 37MM H. E. SHELL

Abstract

The damping factors of the caliber 0.30 bullets, ball M1 and M2 and tracer M1; caliber 0.50 bullets, ball M1 and A. P. M2; and 37mm H. E. Shell M54 with P. D. Fuze M56 have been determined experimentally. The corresponding aerodynamic coefficients are tabulated.
