The available muzzle velocity test data for small arms ammunition were analyzed to determine the change in muzzle velocity due to variations in propellant temperature. This change in muzzle velocity must be quantified in order to provide range safety data for the small arms weapon systems. This task was accomplished through the analysis of Ball and Improved Military Rifle (IMR) propellants. Small arms ammunition, Ordnance, Ball propellant, Improved military rifle propellant, Range safety data, Muzzle velocity, Propellant temperature. (jg)
