is due to Newton's third law of motion (law of interaction) which states that every action is always equal and opposite reaction. The forward movement of the bullet atter the explosion results in the backward movement of the cartridge case.

Study Notes
Ballistics
- Ballistics is the science dealing with the motion of projectiles and the conditions governing that motion.
- Ballistics involves the study of metallic and non-metallic objects propelled by means of force.
Rifling
- Rifling is the action of a bullet passing through a rifled bore barrel firearm, which is either twisted to the left or right.
Propulsion
- Propulsion is the forward movement of the bullet or shot out of the shell by the action of the expansive force of gases from burning gun powder.
Ricochet
- Ricochet is the action of the bullet once it hits a target and subsequently bounces back, deviating from its original trajectory.
Wobble
- Wobble is the unstable rotating motion of the projectile, where the end of the projectile wobbles before it picks up a smooth flight path.
Internal Ballistics
- Internal Ballistics refers to the properties and attributes of the projectile while still inside the gun.
- It covers the time from when the firearm is loaded with the cartridge to the movement of the bullet from the breech to the muzzle of the gun.
- The primer must explode, and the firing pin must hit, due to the theory of friction, which creates a resistance to motion.
Primer
- Primer is a sensitive mixture that must be devoid of any moisture and air.
- When the primer is crushed and ignited, the flash passes through the vent towards the gunpowder, providing combustion of gunpowder.
Combustion of Gunpowder
- The combustion of gunpowder results in an equal expansion of heated gas inside the cartridge, causing the bullet and shell to separate from each other.
- The heated gas created by the burning powder charge develops a tremendous pressure in the chamber of the firearm.
Newton's Third Law of Motion
- The forward movement of the bullet after the explosion results in the backward movement of the cartridge case, due to Newton's third law of motion (law of interaction), which states that every action is always equal and opposite reaction.
Stopping Power
- Stopping power refers to the fatal equivalent of a bullet compared to a pound that is dropped from a certain height.
