A Methodology for Selecting Small-Arms Rounds to Meet Military Requirements,

Abstract

This paper develops a methodology for determining the characteristics of candidate small-arms rounds that satisfy a given set of military requirements. Ballistics-related information required for the methodology (and of general interest to the small-arms field) is also presented. The intended user of the methodology is the military project officer or analyst rather than the munitions developer; consequently, the approach taken is primarily operational rather than technical.
