BULLETS IN FLIGHT
Even the Best Aimed Ones Never
Follow Their Noses.
1 STRIKE A W£E BIT SIDEWAYS.
[ The Projectile Travel* en ■ Curve, of
! Courts, and It Keep* It* Axle Always
I In the Direction the Axis Had When
the Ball Left the Gun.
/
It la u well knewn fact that a ballet
uever goes straight to a mark, bat flies
in u curve 011 the order of tho parabola.
But most •'people think that tha ballet
itself follows Its nose and that at first
(when the noee ts pointed op) tha bal
let follows It aad that when tha bullot
is coming down on tha ethor teg of the
curve the nose ta pointed down.
Thla is a mistake, for tha nose of a
bullet always maintain* its own direc
tion, no matter what the ballet as a
whole tries to do. That is, if a gun be
pointed slightly up, the bullet, when it
strikes the target, will not enter it per
pendicularly by the nose, aad the hole
made will be larger than tha bullet is
round, for the bullet of necessity must
hit la a certain degree flatwise. Of
course the reason the bullet does this
I is because it has a very rapid rotation
given It by the rifles i» tiio barrel,
which keeps It alio from taming over
and over lntbe air.
Another thing that will «eein peculiar
to most people is the action of gravity
on a bullet Jf a gun be fired exactly
horizontally the bullet will have to bo
pulled down by grarity exactly sixteen
feet during the first second. So if there
were no sights on a gun and It was
leveled by means of a hand levei and
fired the bullet would bit something
exactly sixteen feet below the gun at a
distance away equal to the velocity of
the bullet per second.
No matter what tho bullet's velocity,
gravity'will pull It down sixteen feet
during the first second, or if the bullet
be fired upward gravity will take from
I its upward velocity thirty-two feet dur
ing the first second.
| The bullet itself keepe Its axis al
ways in tho direction the axis had
when the bullet issued from the gun.
This is the well known gyroscopic prin
ciple made use of in tho gyroscopic
compass and the monorail car—that a
rotating body will maintain its axis of
' rotation In the same direction unless a
moment of force be applied to 1L
Ru! what actually happens with the
modern high powered rifle? Does It
shoot a bullet that goes in sideways?
To a slight extent it may be stated
that the modern army bullet does do
that very thing. Its velocity, however,
Is so enormous that the gun barrel does
not have to be elevated through so
large an angle, and consequently tho
bullet enters fairly on its nose, thongh
not squarely so, at all osdlnary ranges.
The same may b« said of tho bigger
guns. They have rifling hi thom and
so give rotation and gyrescopl* action
to the projectile*. But a roertar does
not A mortar shoots something al
most straight up In tbe air and lets It
fall down. As the mortar Is too short
barreled to be riled the top of the pro
jectile would hit a target a long dis
tance away, but for a shot almost
straight up in the air te fall right down
of course the bottom of the projectile
would strike first. The inertw projec
tiles are generally round, se that H will
not matter how they etrtke.
The reason a bullet cannot be made
so that it will always enter a target
squarely on its nose is that for every
range a differently shaped ballet would
have to be manufactured; also the bul
let should be symmetrical, so that the
air will exert no disturbing Influence
ou Its distorted parts.
A bullet has a distinct curve like that
of a baseball, due to its rotation, and
this curve la independent of the parab
ola given by gravity. The smoother
and more polished a bntlet is the less
Is this curve. But the action of the
rifling in a gun barrel pots little
grooves In tho bullet as it goes through
the barrel. These catch the air as the
bullet rotates and causes the curve
spoken ef.
If the bullet be rotated In the direc
tion of the bands of a clock the curve
will make the bullet go to the left of
the exact point aimed at The effect Is
so small, however, that it does not
have to be taken Into aceount in the
manufacture of rifles and' ammunition
