4.0 out of 5 stars A mechanical engineer's perspective, March 22, 2007

tomm1968 (Reno NV USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Modern Practical Ballistics (Hardcover)

Pejsa's book presents a well-researched examination of the theory of ballistics starting from first principles of physics and progressing through the effects of drag and elevation. I have personally verified his results at short ranges, and can attest to the fact that his formulas will work within their limitations.

The problem with his results stems from the fact that his formulas do not easily transition through the transsonic and subsonic speed ranges. His formulas, by their algebraic nature do not automatically compensate for the point at which the bullet changes from one drag region to another the way a differential treatment can.

That said, the algebraic methods described in this book bring individually tailored ballistics information to anyone willing to do the math.
