MWB/LB-47 : Ballistics The objective of this course is to give one day of material from each of
five courses given in the area of BALLISTICS, by Baldini Resource Associates, Inc.
Another objective is to have instructors different from those currently teaching
those courses in order to give another point of view. One of the five days would
be from each of the following five day courses: 1. HIGH VELOCITY; 2. BALLISTIC
RANGE TECHNOLOGY; 3. INTERIOR BALLISTICS; 4. GUNS ARMS & AMMO; and 5. TERMINAL
BALLISTICS. The scope will in general consist of material in Interior Ballistics,
Exterior Ballistics, Terminal and launching techniques; Also, safe gun and range
design and operation from low to high velocity; Some standard weapon and
ammunition testing will be covered; Quality and Total Quality Management (TQM)
techniques to assure a product which can be put into production and meet or exceed
requirements, will also be part of this course.
