Gillette's Theory of Terminal Ballistics

Gillette's Theory of Terminal Ballistics analyzes how bullets behave and transfer energy upon impact with a target. It considers factors like bullet design, velocity, and target tissue to predict penetration, tissue damage, and stopping power. The goal is to optimize ammunition for effective performance, ensuring the bullet delivers sufficient energy to incapacitate a target efficiently. Essentially, it provides a scientific framework for understanding the interactions during a shooting, helping engineers design better projectiles and law enforcement or military professionals choose the appropriate ammunition based on desired effects.
