Path, Trajectory, and Deviation Calculator for Bullets

Vinita Sahu, Khilesh Turkar, Mayank Verma, Sushant Banjare

Abstract


The topic of path, trajectory, and deviation calculators for bullets is of great importance in the field of ballistics and marksmanship. Accurately estimating the flight of a bullet and its deviation from the intended target is crucial for marksmen and ballistics enthusiasts. This thesis aims to design and implement a calculator that considers various factors that influence the flight of a bullet, such as its initial velocity, air resistance, gravitational pull, wind speed and direction, and the characteristics of the firearm and ammunition used. The results provided by the calculator will allow the user to estimate the path, trajectory, and deviation of a bullet and make necessary adjustments to ensure accuracy. This introduction sets the stage for the thesis and highlights the importance of the topic for marksmen and ballistics enthusiasts. With the help of this in future, we can accurately hit the target without any problem. Wwe can achiveachieve our target easily, and this will help to find the a solution recardingregarding the various environmental desputedispute.
