A Low Velocity 0.30-cal. Gun System

Abstract

An efficient method was needed to perform ballistic testing using 0.30-cal. Fragment Simulating Projectiles at or near subsonic velocity in order to screen new resin systems for advanced composite/ceramic armor scaled-down test coupons. This technical note outlines the custom gun system and testing methods developed to enable this ballistic testing.
