Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters How can this be?

When I was first in the service, one of my instructors used to refer to events like this as "Ballistic Magic". IOW, he couldn't provide an answer, or at least one that we could understand. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Years later, when I was teaching, I tried to explain how pressure spikes could move back and forth on a graph. I thought that the time/pressure graph would be self explanatory. I was wrong. It generated more questions than I had answers for. With one young fellow, I said (as Yoda from Star Wars would undoubtedly say-paraphrased) "Accept that the spike will move and accept that you control its movement. As you learn control, so shall you understand the mystery."
It worked. At least it worked well enough to satisfy his curiousity.

Getting back to the subject at hand, test what you don't believe or understand and it will be easier to accept. If you run across and engineer, try this one. I don't have time to understand the theory. I've only got a week to make this crap work!
