ABSTRACT
Chapter 3 provided us with the information necessary to determine the forces acting on the projectile and gun. This chapter endeavors to describe techniques necessary for the projectile or weapon designer to be successful. Sections 4.1 and 4.2 describe topics in the field of mechanics of materials. This material will form the basis by which we will evaluate designs. Sections 4.3 through 4.8 apply these concepts to the design of projectiles and guns. This chapter ends with practices and techniques used to design modern ammunition that must be fired from a gun.
