Ballistics
Most of the ballistic data acquired for this web site was that data from the M2 ball round. This data is also the approximate average of that found from the resources used and not the specific data from one site. The average was used since each resource differed slightly.
| muzzle velocity | 888m/s |
| projectile weight | 42.9g |
| projectile length | 58.7mm |
| muzzle energy | 16914J |
This is a diagram of the trajectory of the bullet where; v is the muzzle velocity of the weapon, thata is the angle from the ground to the barrel, h is the height of the round, and R is the distance the round travels.
The distance a round travels can be found by;
where the angle 45 degrees is needed to reach the maximum distance.
The maximum height that a round can obtain can be found by;
