" ... deals with the dynamics of liquid-filled projectiles which are known to behave in an unpredictable manner in flight."--Pref.

The pamphlet pertains to that phase of projectile life starting at the gun muzzle (or, for a rocket, at burnout) and ending at the point of burst or impact. The subject is covered in a manner intended primarily to assist the ammunition designer in recognizing and dealing with the design parameters of projectile weight, shape, muzzle velocity, yaw, drag and stability, in designing for optimum results in range, time of flight and accuracy.
