About this title

Synopsis

"New Principles of Gunnery: Containing the Determination of the Force of Gun-Powder, and an Investigation of the Difference in the Resisting Power of the Air to Swift and Slow Motions" by Benjamin Robins delves into the intricacies of gunnery, challenging conventional beliefs about projectile trajectories. Through experiments and calculations, the author explores the impact of air resistance on projectile flight, the relationship between velocity and range, and the penetration depth of shots. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding resistance to bullet penetration and highlights the uniform resistance of solids, offering a comprehensive exploration of gunnery principles.
