Firing tables are used in ballistics to determine the trajectory of a projectile when fired. Synonyms for this term include range tables, ballistic tables, and firing charts. These tables provide important information, such as the elevation and azimuth required for precise aiming, muzzle velocity, and windage. Range tables are often used by military personnel and marksmen to improve their accuracy, as well as to ensure safety during training exercises. In addition to serving as a tool for calculating bullet drop at longer ranges, ballistic tables can also be used to calculate ballistic coefficients and other important factors in rifle and ammunition design.
