  1. “Ballistics” http://www.surplusinc.com/prodimg/PN1050.jpg Poem by Billy Collins Presentation by Christian Femrite http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DeYUJUDMyns/TqYnoJqfs8I/AAAAAAAAClU/x9jEyewVprM/s1600/Collins+Ballistics.jpg

  2. Progression of Events Attention-Grabbing First Stanza: “When I came across the high-speed photograph of a bullet that had just pierced a book – the pages exploding with the velocity –” http://world.guns.ru/userfiles/images/handguns/czechoslovakia/hg51/1287752864.jpg To fire a bullet, when the trigger is pulled, the firing pin strikes the primer in the bullet, making a spark to ignite the fuel inside the bullet. The bullet is propelled out of the gun by its own force coming out the back, giving it no other direction to go but towards the target (“Firearms Tutorial”). http://edwardcheverton.deviantart.com/art/Book-Explosion-154666584

  3. Vibrant Detail With Simple Words Line 7: “Many novels sprang to mind” http://jamesharrisgallery.com/wp-ontent/uploads/2011/05/exploding-bookhor.jpg http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/medievalbook/pics/225pixW/4600BdMs20_cover.jpg Yaw refers to the vertical motion of the bullet’s tip, precession refers to the deviation of the entire bullet around a central point of the bullet, and nutation refers to the cylindrical motion of the bullet (Denny). http://library.med.utah.edu/WebPath/TUTORIAL/GUNS/GUNBLST.html

  4. Dark Humor Lines 5-7: “and began to wonder which book the photographer had selected for the shot. Many novels sprang to mind” A rifle has a thicker barrel to be able to withstand more pressure to launch a bullet farther (“Ballistics”). https://home.comcast.net/~gavinsw/57/5.7x28%20Test%20%20Barnes%20.224%20%2045%20Grain%20Banded%20Solids/images/7_usg_45grbarnes_solid_6_1_30ft_exit_with_bullet.jpg http://www.info4guns.com/graphics/gun_parts_shotgun.gif The difference between a rifle and a musket is that a rifle has a corkscrew lining inside the barrel to put a spin on the bullet to launch it straighter (“Internal Ballistics”). http://www.sviguns.com/img/diagram_550_350.gif http://png-2.findicons.com/files/icons/1952/exempli_gratia/128/photographs.png
