Some possible topics for us to discuss:

homemade ballistics test media

Interested

simplified techniques for shooting from elevations (deer stands, etc.)

Interested

recoil

Interested

why bullets follow the paths that they do

Interested

how bullets move through gelatin (cavitation, drag, etc.)

Interested

what actually makes bullets expand

Interested

why coatings on optical lenses are important

some interest, but not a whole lot.

roof prism versus Porro prism binoculars

some interest, but not a whole lot

how bulletproof glass works

interested

how ceramic armor works

how soft body armor works

interested

how "one-way" bulletproof glass works

Some interest

why your hunting knife is harder than your gun

some interest

the WWII German Ultra pistol project

interested

defensive pistol shooting techniques of Eastern European armies

interested

innovative methods of attaining higher muzzle velocities

interested

how rail guns work

interested, but would also like to discuss using high-energy UV lasers to ionize the air to facilitate the firing of a particle beam weapon within the atmosphere

squirrel hunting with rail guns (just kidding)

Magnetic mass drivers are far more fun...though getting the timing of each magnet pulse is a pita.

Actually would like to see some discussion on the stability of a projectile as the velocity increases, and any relationships between velocity and the rotational speed (spin) of a projectile.

Sounds like a lot of good things to discuss :beer:
