Understanding Internal Ballistics by Sathya Narayanan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Internal ballistics covers the propulsion of a projectile from ignition until it exits the gun barrel. It is important for designers and users of firearms. There are three parts to interior ballistics: lock time from sear release to primer strike, ignition time from primer strike to projectile movement, and barrel time from projectile movement to muzzle exit. Models have been developed to represent the complex processes that affect chamber pressure, projectile acceleration, and muzzle velocity. The equation
