The idea of taking firearms away to make the

without ballistics-the bullet and its cartridge‚ and the barrel. In scientific terms‚ it is called Interior and Exterior ballistics. This paper will cover only the beginning of ballistics and firearms‚ because it is such a vast expanse of information and it varies with each firearm. Why I am interested in ballistics and firearms is that I want to know more about them altogether‚ more importantly I want to know about the projectiles‚ the powders used to fire them‚ and the barrels of firearms. In the
