What does 'Ballistics' refer to?

  1. The study of laws

  2. The examination of fired bullets

  3. The science of weapons design

  4. The history of firearms

The correct answer is: The examination of fired bullets

Ballistics specifically refers to the study of projectiles in motion, such as bullets fired from firearms. It involves understanding the science behind the trajectory, velocity, and impact of these projectiles. Option A is incorrect because ballistics does not solely focus on laws. Option C is incorrect because it only covers one aspect of ballistics, which is weapon design, rather than the overall study of projectiles. Option D is incorrect because while it may be covered in the study of ballistics, it is not the main focus.
