Here you can find the results of my experiments and researches in Ballistics & Java programming
language. Basically some ballistic formulas interpreted in java. IMHO this is where Java is good, small applets for some nice animation effects & calculations.
This section will be expanded, at least planned so, depends on many different things though.
So far we only have:
New - Muzzle Energy Calc & Power Factor Calc support complete data/state trasfer between them. On both pages there's a link that switches one calculator to another. That means - you can enter the data in one of those two applets, draw the graphs & then click the Switch link above the applet & go to the other one. All the data entered, working mode & the current element number will be transfered to the calculator being loaded.
Muzzle Energy Calculator/Graph Builder
- Calculator that builds a graph by calculated bullet muzzle energy using the bullet mass and the velocity. You also can enter sevral bullet masses and draw the comparison graphs, just in case if you want to visualize different loads this way ;). After using it for some time & several responese I've reconsidered original design & now the calculator supports both English & Metric UOM systems & can convert vaules bewteen them.ME Calc - English/Metric
Power Factor Calculator/Graph Builder
- Very similar to the previous one, but the formulas used are different. Gives a different picture for the same rounds. Many people prefer this one. For this one special thanks goes to Charles Winters, for the idea & the detailed info provided &to Scott Rutter without whom the metric system calculation wouldn't be available for a long time I guess :)
PF Calc - English/Metric
Recoil Energy, Impulse & Velocity Calculator
- Calculate Recoil energy, impulse & gun free velocity by the bullet, gun & powder charge masses & muzle velocity. Gunpowder type (Blackpwoder ro smokeless) also accounted, Both UOM systems: English & Metric are supported, including value conversions. Special thanks goes to Scott Rutter for all his help :).Recoil Calc - English/Metric
Shotgun Recoil Energy, Impulse & Velocity Calculator
- Calculates Shotgun Recoil energy, impulse & gun free velocity by the bullet, wad, gun & powder charge masses & muzle velocity. Both UOM systems: English & Metric are supported, including value conversions.Shotgun Recoil Calc - English/Metric
