Comparative Analysis of the Trajectories of Projectiles Fired from Polish Small Arms Systems: MSBS-5.56 and BERYL [PDF]
This paper presents the results of the theoretical external ballistic calculations for projectiles fired from barrels which correspond to the barrels used in two Polish small arms systems: MSBS- 5.56 system (MSBS GROT standard rifle and MSBS GROT carbine)

Ballistic Anisotropic Magnetoresistance [PDF]
Electronic transport in ferromagnetic ballistic conductors is predicted to exhibit ballistic anisotropic magnetoresistance (BAMR) - a change in the ballistic conductance with the direction of magnetization. This phenomenon originates from the effect of the spin-orbit interaction on the electronic band structure which leads to a change in the number of ...
