Control of exterior ballistic properties of spin-stabilized bullet by optimizing internal mass distribution

This paper introduces a novel approach for controlling the exterior ballistic properties of spin-stabilized bullets by optimizing their internal mass distributions. Specifically, the properties of interest are the bullets’ stability characteristics that are examined through dynamic and gyroscopic st...
