Remember the following definition of terms:

1. Ballistics - The science of mechanics that deals with the flight,behavior     and effects of    projectiles.

2. Forensic Ballistics  - It involves the analysis of bullet impacts to     determine information of use     to a court or other part of the legal     system.

3. Ballistic Fingerprinting - It involves analyzing firearm,ammunition,and     toolmark evidence in order to establish whether a certain firearm or tool     was used in the commission of  crime.  4. Ballistic Missile - It is a missile guided only during the relative brief 

    initial powered phase of  flight whose course is subsequently governed     by the laws of classical mechanics.

5.  Internal Ballistic - The study of the processes originally     accelerating the projectile.

6.  External Ballistic - The study of the passage of the projectile      through a medium.

7.  Transition Ballistics - The study of the projectiles behavior when it      leaves the barrel and the   pressure behind the projectile is equalized. 8.  Cartridge - It is also called a round.

9.  Matchlock - Employed a burning wick on  a spring that was locked back      and  released into a pan of powder upon pulling a trigger.

10. Percussion - Consists of a hammer that was locked and when      released, struck a cup  containing a volatile primer that ignited on      impact sending a flame  through a small tube into the barrel chamber.
