Terminal Ballistics

Terminal ballistics is the study of how a projectile, such as a bullet, behaves upon impact with a target. It focuses on the effects of the bullet on the target materials, including penetration, energy transfer, and damage caused. This field examines factors like bullet design, velocity, and the properties of the target (e.g., human tissue or armor). Understanding terminal ballistics helps in various applications, including firearm design, ammunition development, and forensic analysis, enhancing our knowledge of how projectiles interact in real-world scenarios.
