[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 177497, member: 1622"] No! :) Sir Isaac's 1st law is being misapplied here by Catshooter, a direction changing force IS being applied to the projectile to cause it's nose to broadly (ie less the yaw of repose) follow the trajectory...but confusingly (to some!!) it is the overturning (ie nose lifting) moment. ...which is why all his "it turns left" nonsense is back to front....nothing's trying to push the nose down (which would indeed have a leftwards reaction) the nose is going down ultimately as the result of gyroscopic stablisation. Anyway, I give up. I'll not waste anymore time trying to re-educate Flat Earth 'the rest of the world is wrong' self taught ballisticians :) Got to get back to recalling all those point detonating fuzes. [/QUOTE]
