Abstract：
:The yaw angle in flight of high velocity bullets has been discussed for a number of years, due to its contribution to the tumbling of the bullet in the target. Since few unclassified reports of contemporary bullets are available, we investigated the yaw angles of the bullets used in the M16A2, G3, AK-47 and AK-74 rifles by the shadowgraph technique. Our results show that bullets from military rifles tend to stabilize at less than 3 degrees within 25 m, and this angle has been thought to be insignificant in the production of gunshot wounds. Bullets from some modern small calibre high velocity rifles such as the M16A2 and the AK-74 can have quite large yaw angles in their initial flight. The results, which confirm the opinion of contemporary writers, should settle the controversy in this area of wound ballistics.
