OK. First off, I KNOW that a bullet does not RISE in its path to its target.
I KNOW (thanks to my fiances father who CREATED Modern Ballistics/, a ballistics calculator program) that people may THINK it rises due to the sight angle and bore angle being different. IE you aim straight (level) but your barrel is pointed slightly upward.
What I need is PROOF to show three other individuals from my unit who seem to believe that because of the bullets shape (spitzer) that it generates lift and makes the bullet rise then fall due in its path.
I read a quote from Modern External Ballistics (book) about this, but am not able to find a source online.
Does anyone know where I can prove the laws of physics to these guys online? One of them, an E6, basically told me to put up or shut up. So, yeah.
Any help is appreciated.
