This video is an addition to the film I made about the Pedersoli 1874 Sharps rifle chambered for the 45-120 cartridge. In this chapter we'll go through the basics of wound ballistics while we check the trajectory of the bullet propelled with a full load of 120 grains of black powder, and we check its terminal (wound) ballistics effect in ballistic gelatin.
