Internal Ballistics Modeling Software (DOS)
- Leduc's Model (free)
This model based on an empirical relation between
distance and bullet velocity is useful in predicting
velocity as a function of barrel length in a gun.
- Coppock's Advanced Internal Ballistics Model (shareware)
This an advanced analytic model that attempts to predict
the velocity and peak pressure of a load given the physical
parameters of the gun, powder, and bullet.
- Other more advanced numerical models are also available.
