Abstract

The article reports a study on internal ballistics of an air gun. It mentions that analysis for air guns is simple due to assumptions of constant temperature during gas expansion phases which apply Boyle's law rather than a complex temperature-dependent gas law. It also notes that the gun's muzzle speed increases with its barrel length and anticipates realistic values.
