    Gunpowder contains an oxidising agent, I don't think it requires any external oxygen.

    Ah, fair enough, never seen that equation before!

    I take it Cd is drag coefficient? What are the A, p and l?

    BC = ballistic coefficient as used in physics and engineering
    M = mass
    A = cross-sectional area
    Cd = drag coefficient
    ρ (rho) = average density
    l = body length



    Bullet BC calculation is different but still takes mass into account.

    Name: c494b0416825cdc5fa71474121f6dfa0.png Views: 204 Size: 1.1 KB

    BC = ballistic coefficient
    SD = sectional density, SD = mass of bullet in pounds or kilograms divided by its caliber squared in inches or meters; units are lb/in2 or kg/m2.
    i = form factor, i= CB/CG, (CG ~ 0.5191)
    CB = Drag coefficient of the bullet
    CG = Drag coefficient of the G1 model bullet
    M = Mass of bullet, lb or kg
    d = diameter of bullet, in or m

    DC is direct current? Co-efficient of Drag

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Don't believe it unless you have been there and tried to do it yourself.
