Calculate Muzzle Pressure







Formula

To calculate the muzzle pressure (\(P_{muzzle}\)):

\[ P_{muzzle} = \frac{m \times V^2}{2 \times A \times L} \]

What is Muzzle Pressure?

Muzzle pressure refers to the pressure exerted at the muzzle of a firearm when a projectile is fired. It is a critical factor in ballistics and affects the performance and behavior of the projectile.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ P_{muzzle} = \frac{0.02 \times 800^2}{2 \times 0.0001 \times 0.5} = 128,000,000.00 \text{ Pa} \]

The muzzle pressure is 128,000,000.00 Pa.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ P_{muzzle} = \frac{0.05 \times 600^2}{2 \times 0.0002 \times 0.7} = 91,428,571.43 \text{ Pa} \]

The muzzle pressure is approximately 91,428,571.43 Pa.
