GunCalc

GunCalc is a simple to use application that allows you to calculate the energy and velocity of a fired bullet, based on input values. The application requires that you provide the weight of the bullet, measured in grains and the speed of the weapon muzzle, expressed in FPS.

GunCalc is designed as a simple calculation program for fire weapon enthusiasts, offering you a quick way of estimating the speed and energy of a bullet. The application requires that you provide the bullet weight, measured in grains, a unit which is specific to fire weapons ammunition. It indicates the mass of bullets or propellants, determining their speed in air.

You also need to enter the value for the muzzle speed, which represents the velocity of the bullet as it leaves the weapon muzzle. This speed decreases as the bullet travels through the air, due to resistance, therefore, the result of the calculation always indicates a smaller speed.

GunCalc can offer you the results of the calculation as soon as you click the designated button. The returned values represent the energy of the bullet, measured in Joules, as well as its average velocity, in meters per second.

GunCalc offers an intuitive calculation, since the real values are bound to a large series of physical parameters. Barometric pressure, humidity, air temperature and wind speed can influence the real speed of the bullet while in the air. Nevertheless, it can offer you an indication of the destructive force of a fired bullet.

GunCalc is a simple application, which offers a quick result based on two variables. However, it is easy to use, quick to install and features a visually appealing interface. All you need to do is input the bullet weight and muzzle speed, then click the Calculate button, in order to reveal the result.
