The Science of Small Arms Ballistics.

"This very unique and very different book is a comprehensive study of the science of small arm ballistics--from interior and exterior ballistics to terminal ballistics. The science of small arms ballistics is seriously underdeveloped and underappreciated. The volume provides a complete grasp of...
