Daily Defense Season 2- Ep 24: Rifle Ballistics & Why They Matter
This "Daily Defense" episode delves into rifle ballistics, focusing on external ballistics and their impact on AR-15 platforms without complex math or graphs. It explains how gravity, air resistance (affected by temperature, altitude, and humidity), and height over bore influence bullet trajectory. Key concepts like initial intersection, maximum ordinate, and terminal intersection are detailed. The video also touches on terminal ballistics, highlighting how bullet velocity at impact and bullet fragmentation affect wounding capability and lethality in self-defense or hunting scenarios.
