04 / Ballistics

The ballistics
engine.

A three-dimensional flight model calculates drop, wind deflection, and remaining velocity. G1/G7 drag, Coriolis, spin drift, and aerodynamic jump are part of each shot.

01 / G1 & G7 drag models

Drag has
a speed curve.

Drag changes as a projectile slows. The engine samples a G1 or G7 reference curve using its speed relative to the air and the local speed of sound.

Each ammunition profile pairs its curve with a ballistic coefficient (BC). Profiles with speed-banded data interpolate between BC values as Mach changes; others use a constant BC.

Mach 1

The local speed of sound. The sharp rise around Mach 1 is captured in the reference tables.

Reference drag data
G1G7
G1 and G7 reference drag curvesDrag coefficient against Mach number, from zero to four. Both reference curves rise sharply around the speed of sound, then fall. The G1 and G7 curves use different reference values and must be paired with their own ballistic coefficients.Drag coefficient0.00.20.40.6Mach 101234Speed / Mach
G1 and G7 reference samples used by the engine. Each curve requires its matching ballistic coefficient.

3D point-mass simulation

Position. Velocity. Time.

The engine advances the projectile in three dimensions, updating its position and velocity as gravity and aerodynamic forces act. A shot is calculated independently of the display frame rate.

Flight geometry / schematic, not to scale
02 / Flight

Gravity & flight time

Gravity acts throughout the flight. As drag reduces speed, the projectile spends longer in the air. The solver records time of flight, remaining speed, Mach number, and energy at impact.

03 / Wind

Gusts along the range

Wind changes with position and time, including gusts, direction shifts, and an authored shelter region. The trajectory, wind ribbons, and foliage share the same field. A bench reading is only a local snapshot.

04 / Atmosphere

Air density & sound speed

Temperature, station pressure, and humidity determine air density and sound speed. Density changes drag; sound speed sets the Mach value. Atmospheric density remains uniform during each flight.

05 / Spin drift

Twist & stability

An empirical drift model depends on flight time, twist rate, twist direction, and gyroscopic stability (Sg). Current rifle profiles use estimated stability. The engine also supports Miller estimates when complete sourced projectile geometry is available.

06 / Coriolis

Earth’s rotation

The solver includes Coriolis acceleration throughout the flight. Latitude, shot bearing, and projectile velocity determine its direction and magnitude. The game uses configured range coordinates and bearing.

07 / Aerodynamic jump

Crosswind at launch

Muzzle crosswind adds a small vertical launch-angle adjustment. Its direction depends on barrel twist, and its size uses estimated stability. This is a calibrated approximation rather than a full rotating-projectile model.

Spin drift

Top view / right-hand twist

The orange path gradually separates from a dashed reference line toward the right-hand side of the shot’s direction of travel. The drift is exaggerated for illustration.

This schematic illustrates deflection relative to the rotating Earth; its direction and magnitude depend on latitude, bearing, and velocity. RotationDeflectionLaunch
Schematic, not to scale. Deflection varies with latitude and shot bearing.

Aerodynamic jump

At the muzzle

Crosswind changes the bullet’s initial vertical angle. The flight model carries that small change downrange.

Reverse the crosswind or the barrel’s twist direction, and the jump reverses too.

Crosswind changes the launch angle An oblique view of the muzzle shows crosswind passing across the barrel. An orange line leaves the muzzle at a slightly higher vertical angle than a dashed reference line. The upward example is exaggerated: the jump can be up or down depending on crosswind and barrel twist. These lines show launch directions, not complete trajectories.

From the scope to the impact

What else shapes the shot.

08

Sight height & zero

The muzzle starts below the scope’s line of sight. A fixed reference zero sets the bore angle; MOA or MIL adjustments change the launch direction. Scope cant rotates those correction axes.

The solver supports cant and vertical wind; the live range currently leaves both at zero.

09

Dispersion & cold bore

Rifle profiles add variation to launch direction and muzzle velocity. The first round also receives the profile’s cold-bore offsets. The chronograph records that round’s actual launch speed.

The computer calculates a nominal solution; it does not cancel random shot variation.

10

Moving-target lead

A moving target keeps traveling while the bullet is in flight. The computer iterates its prediction using the target’s position at the expected arrival time. Hit checks use the target’s position when the shot reaches it.

11

Optics & magnification

Each weapon has its own sight configuration and zoom range. Magnification changes the field of view. Marked precision reticles use first-focal-plane angular geometry, keeping their angular spacing consistent as zoom changes. Scope shading also responds to magnification and eye offset.

12

Ground contact & replay

Misses are checked against the range’s ground-height model. The recorded flight is shortened at detected terrain contact so the tracer and impact resolve together. Successful-hit replay follows the saved flight.

13

Bullet wake

A visible wake follows the recorded projectile path. It drifts with the wind and broadens as it fades. Added turbulence is a visual effect; it does not alter the bullet’s flight.

Plinking Range uses gameplay approximations. Its ballistic profiles and secondary effects are not validated firing data.

05 / Equipment

Then adjust.

All three instruments are available to try in Practice. Purchase them individually or as a bundle for use where the mode’s equipment rules allow.

01

Wind meter

$0.99

Measure wind speed and direction at the bench. The reading stays fixed until you sample again; it does not reveal the wind farther downrange.

02

Chronograph

$0.99

Record each shot’s muzzle velocity and review the session average. Load the last shot’s measurement into the computer.

03

Ballistics computer

$1.99

Calculate elevation and windage for the selected game rifle using your distance, wind reading, and measured velocity. Apply the result to the scope; changing wind can make a reading stale.
