Ballistics by cutting barrels shorter?
It’s a way to test how the length of a barrel effects the speed of the bullet coming out. It’s pretty interesting to study. The speed of the bullet directly effects it’s external and terminal ballistics. How the external ballistics change is just math and can easily calculated, now terminal ballistics is quite the study and speed of the bullet doesn’t have a linear change on anything, it’s more bell curved.
