A family of distributions to describe a multiprojectile round.

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.
