Interior ballistics is a subfield of ballistics in which there is study of the propulsion of a projectile. In guns internal ballistics covers the time from the propellant's ignition until the projectile exits the gun barrel. The study of internal ballistics is important to designers and users of firearms of all types, from small-bore rifles and pistols, to high-tech artillery.
Explanation of ballistics, various fields of ballistics, Forensic Ballistics,Firearms and its components, Ammunition and its components, firing mechanism of firearm, Identification & individualization.
Forensic Ballistics is a branch of forensic science which deals with shooting incidents for the purpose of justice. Matching and identification of cartridge cases and bullets plays a key role in identifying the firearm.

Firearms safety: ten guidelines for proper weapons handlingmartien635
This is the most fundamental rule of defense. There would be almost no shooting incidents if anyone treated a weapon so carefully that the muzzle never pointed at anything they didn't want to shoot. It's as simple as that, and the option is yours.
Never point your gun at something you don't want to kill. When loading or unloading a weapon, this is especially important. As long as the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction, no damage will occur in the case of an accidental discharge.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Sights on firearms allow the shooter to correctly align
the barrel on the target so accurate shot placement
can be consistently achieved. Sights come in a
variety of styles.

prevent accidental discharge of the firearm. Never
rely on safety as an alternative to safe firearm
handing or storage.

17. How a Gun Fires
BOW - Intro to Firearms 17
1. Cartridge or shot shell is loaded into the chamber.
2. The firing pin strikes and ignites the primer.
3. The primer ignites the powder.
4. Expanding gasses propel the bullet or shot.
19. Shotgun Shells

U.S law requires the use of non-toxic (steel, bismuth, tungsten, etc) while hunting
waterfowl!

20. Shotgun Chokes
BOW - Intro to Firearms 21
Chokes slightly narrow the muzzle of the barrel to influence the shot stream and
deliver a desired pattern. Chokes don't make the shot go farther. Their purpose is
to deliver an effective density of shot at a particular distance.
22. Firearm Cleaning
• Firearms should be cleaned after each use.
• Before cleaning any firearm, first point the muzzle in a safe direction
and then check to be sure it is unloaded!
• There should be no ammunition in the cleaning area.
• Work undistracted in a well ventilated area.
• Buy a cleaning kit and accessories that are the correct size for the
firearm.
• Using equipment designed for a different caliber or gauge can damage your
firearm.
• Use commercial solvents and gun oils specifically manufactured for firearms.
• After cleaning and a light oiling, store firearms in a secure place under
locked conditions.
• Ammunition should be stored separately from firearms, likewise under lock and
key.
• Rifles and shotguns should be stored muzzle down to prevent oils from
collecting in actions or being absorbed into the stock.

23. Glossary
• Action - which loads, fires and ejects ammunition
• Barrel - a metal tube that the projectile passes through
• Stock - that supports the action and in many cases, the barrel
• Butt - the end of the stock that is held against the shoulder. Sometimes fitted with a
recoil pad.
• Muzzle - the front end of the barrel where fired projectiles exit.
• Chamber - the beginning of the barrel that holds a cartridge or shot shell for firing.
• Breech - the rear end of the barrel, beginning with the chamber.
• Bore - the interior channel of the barrel through which fired projectiles travel.
• Safety - a mechanical device designed to prevent accidental firing (never to be
used as an alternative to safe firearm handing).
• Magazine - a compartment that holds ammunition for the action to load into the
chamber. This can be built into the stock or a detachable container.
• Trigger - the part moved by the finger that fires the cartridge or shotshell.
• Trigger guard - a protective ring that deters the trigger from being accidentally
