What is the best definition of distance in ballistics?

• how far the bullet is projected from the muzzle of the firearm

• the amount of volume from the bullet is projected form the muzzle of the firearm

• the speed from the bullet is projected form the muzzle of the firearm

• how far the bullet is projected from the hand of the shooter

The kinetic movement calculated by the bullets mass multiplied by the velocity is

• Trajectory

• Energy

• Distance

• Velocity

Which components are essential to know the trajectory of a bullet?

• velocity but no kinetics or potential energy

Velocity is NOT which of the following in ballistics?

• speed and direction

• speed from which the bullet leaves the gun

• kinetic energy of the bullet

• none of these answers

Revolvers are one of the most common guns because
