A Review of Ballistic Science for the Law Enforcement Officer
Crossman, EB
Writer and independent consultant in the field of firearms, ammunition, and related subjects, Va.

Abstract

The author says, “There is rather widely spread a less than satisfactory understanding among law enforcement personnel of the basic laws of physics and principles that govern the functioning of firearms,” which he attempts to improve. The book does not deal with tactical use of various arms, although a considerable part is devoted to bullet effect, wounding, “stopping power,” and similar matters.
