Difference between Ballistic coefficient and Bullet

Ballistic coefficient vs. Bullet

In ballistics, the ballistic coefficient (BC) of a body is a measure of its ability to overcome air resistance in flight. A bullet is a kinetic projectile and the component of firearm ammunition that is expelled from the gun barrel during shooting.

Similarities between Ballistic coefficient and Bullet

Ballistic coefficient and Bullet have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Ammunition, Caliber, External ballistics, Imperial units, Metric system, Ogive, Projectile, Rifling, Sectional density, Sierra Bullets, Speed of sound, Spitzer (bullet), Very-low-drag bullet, Wadcutter, .50 BMG.

Ammunition

Ammunition (informally ammo) is the material fired, scattered, dropped or detonated from any weapon.

Caliber

In guns, particularly firearms, caliber or calibre is the approximate internal diameter of the gun barrel, or the diameter of the projectile it shoots.

External ballistics

External ballistics or exterior ballistics is the part of ballistics that deals with the behavior of a projectile in flight.

Imperial units

The system of imperial units or the imperial system (also known as British Imperial or Exchequer Standards of 1825) is the system of units first defined in the British Weights and Measures Act of 1824, which was later refined and reduced.

Projectile

A projectile is any object thrown into space (empty or not) by the exertion of a force.

Rifling

In firearms, rifling is the helical groove pattern that is machined into the internal (bore) surface of a gun's barrel, for the purpose of exerting torque and thus imparting a spin to a projectile around its longitudinal axis during shooting.

Sectional density

Sectional density is the ratio of an object's mass to its cross-sectional area with respect to a given axis.

Speed of sound

The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium.

Spitzer (bullet)

The spitzer bullet, also commonly referred to as a spire point bullet, is primarily a small arms ballistics development of the late 19th and early 20th century, driven by military desire for aerodynamic bullet designs that will give a higher degree of accuracy and kinetic efficiency, especially at extended ranges.

Very-low-drag bullet

The very-low-drag bullet (VLD) is primarily a small arms ballistics development of the 1980s–1990s, driven by shooters' desire for bullets that will give a higher degree of accuracy and kinetic efficiency, especially at extended ranges.

Wadcutter

A wadcutter is a special-purpose flat-fronted bullet specifically designed for shooting paper targets, usually at close range and at subsonic velocities typically under approximately 900 ft/s (274 m/s).

.50 BMG

The.50 Browning Machine Gun (.50 BMG, 12.7×99mm NATO and designated as the 50 Browning by the C.I.P.) is a cartridge developed for the Browning.50 caliber machine gun in the late 1910s.
