Tumbling bullets v/s Sir Isaac Newton
#8
Drew Phipps Wrote:In mid-air, you would observe the bullet spin around its longitudinal axis (its direction of travel) very quickly and likely also see a slight wobble (precession) as the bullet gradually lost some of its angular momentum. If the bullet was "tumbling" it would rotate around an axis perpendicular to the bullet's direction of travel.

Thanks for your answer. I see that we are speaking the same language.
