The terminal ballistics is concerned with :

  • A.the destructive effect on the target
  • B.the damage suffered by the projectile
  • C.the angle of incidence at which the projectile hits
  • D.the determination of the terminal or remaining velocity of the projectile

Answer: A

Terminal ballistics is concerned with the destructive effect on the target.

Ballistics is divided into internal ballistics (from ignition until the projectile leaves the barrel), external ballistics (the flight through the air) and terminal ballistics (what happens when the projectile strikes its target). Terminal ballistics deals with penetration, energy transfer and the damage done; wound ballistics is its branch dealing with the body.

Damage to the projectile, its angle of incidence and its remaining velocity are details studied along the way, but the subject's concern, the one the key names, is the effect on the target. Remaining velocity in flight belongs to external ballistics.
