    Here are brief descriptions of the branches of ballistics: Internal or Interior Ballistics - The motion of the projectile while inside the gun barrel. Transitional or Intermediate Ballistics - The projectile's behavior from when it leaves the gun muzzle until the pressure behind it equalizes. External or Exterior Ballistics - The motion of the projectile from when it leaves the gun muzzle until it reaches the target. Terminal Ballistics - The effects of projectiles upon impact with the target, including physical damage. Wound Ballistics - Closely associated with terminal ballistics, concerned with the nature and medical implications of physical injury caused by bullets.

    Etymology
    • Ballo or Ballein (Greek Word) – “to throw”
    • Ballista (old English Ballistae)- giant bow or catapult
    Definition
    • Ballistics is the science of motion of projectiles
    • Science- systemized body of knowledge
    • Projectile- the metallic or non- metallic objects propelled from a firearm
    • Motion- the movement or action of projectile launched by a firearm
    Branches of Ballistics
    • Internal or Interior Ballistics- motion of projectile while inside the gun
    • Transitional or Intermediate Ballistics- projectiles behavior from the time it leaves the muzzle
    until the pressure behind the projectile is equalized
    • External or Exterior Ballistics- motion of the projectile from the time it escapes from the gun
    muzzle until it reaches the target
    • Terminal Ballistics- effects of projectiles on their target upon impact to include what happens
    when the projectile strikes the target
    • Wound Ballistics- closely associated with terminal Ballistics, primarily concerned with the nature
    and medical implications of Physical injury and shock caused by bullets and explosive-driven
    fragment
    Historical background of Ballistics
    • Man first used indigenous weapon such as bow arrow and sling shots
    • Discovery of the black powder
    First developed by Chinese alchemists
    First explosives used to propel missiles for military reasons
    • 10th century A.D, China- used for military purposes in the form of rockets
    and bombs fired from catapults
    • 1126 AD- first cannon appeared, Chinese soldiers used oiled bamboo
