Ballistic Range Development

Abstract

A ballistic range was developed for use in testing structural materials. High velocity and low velocity guns were investigated. Charge values for various projectile weights were determined and velocity consistency and reproducibility were verified. A range notebook was compiled with necessary user information and test results.
