In order to understand bullet stability, you will have to understand how the center of pressure and center of gravity relate to each other. Watch this video to get the definitions squared away before we move on to fill in more of the details. Also see Rex play with a M865 Cone-Stabilized Discarding Sabot KE Projectile used in the M1A1 and M1A2 Abram's 120mm smooth bore main guns.

Center of Gravity: the balance point of the projectile The Center of Pressure: is the point where the aerodynamic forces acting on the bullet are balanced along its longitudinal axis NEW: Donation Button - finally added to TiborasaurusRex's main page - for all those who have offered to help fund this operation. Thanks to those who have helped thus far. :-D All the music in this video was created by TiborasaurusRex, an unsigned artist.
