This introduces some of the math involved in predicting where a bullet will
hit before it gets there. Three microphones on a helicopter pick up the
conical shock wave.

Gun ballistics were solved about a century ago.

The only thing new is what took days and a room full of people and
calculators/math tables now takes seconds.

That's cute, but actual military application of this idea is used to
retrodict the position of the gun that fired the shot.

Man, with your brains, you could do some serious
ultrasound engineering, for medical scanning.
