AMCP 706-107, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF MATERIAL - ENGINEERING DESIGN HANDBOOK: ELEMENTS OF ARMAMENT ENGINEERING (PART TWO) BALLISTICS (SEP-1963)., The science of ballistics involves the study of the motion of projectiles as a particular branch of applied mechanics and related fields of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering. A concept of the basis for the design of weapons or development of ammunition cannot be realized without a basic understanding of this science. This 1963 handbook presents information about each phase of ballistics to the extent believed necessary to pursue a study of the design and engineering analysis of components of weapon systems which satisfy the basic requirements of launch, flight, and terminal effects
