Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the behavior of density
shot XM261 when fired from the .45 caliber pistol (M1911A1).
Density shot ammunition is a multiprojected round which
contains 16 small pellets. Both the standard rifled barrel
and a smooth barrel were used to collect data on the behavior
of the XM261 round. A family of distributions is selected
for each barrel type to model the scatter of pellets from
the XM261 round at varying ranges.
