Hey there is one correction to be made. Though this is a very understandable way to explain this, it is not the full explanation and I was incorrect in one place as a result. It makes no difference in what direction you shoot. Coriolis will make the round curve right in the n hemisphere and left in the southern and the amount of curve is only dependent on your latitude.

We learned about the basics of the Coriolis effect, and the fact that it does not come into effect under most combat situations. Only at very long ranges does it come into play. EDIT: USMC would not let him train with Scout Snipers (though he might shoot a friend's personal .50cal rifle) and there is ZERO chance that he trained with scout snipers... they would have set him strait on his shooting calculations.

Some interesting points to this guys story (fairy tale). I am a Marine, there is no such thing as a former or ex Marine, period. Marine snipers are selected from the top shooters across the Corps, not real sure a machine gunner would be selected as a sniper candidate. Marine snipers are a two man team, a shooter and a spotter so I doubt if you would be ale to "flank" a sniper team. I also had in the past shot high power rifle competition. never ahd to factor in coriolis as 500 meters was max range for me. During practice and competition you have, what I refer to as, a weapons "dope" book. This is to recird all the variables for each shot such as time of day, sun position, wind speed and direction, air temperature, range to target, etc. I would go as far as recording the ammo lot number for competition. There was also a section for your sight in shots usually a three shot group at 100 yds. for your initial correction factors (moa sight adjustment) with same type information. fairly certain a dedicated sniper would have the same type book with a lot more information and any coriolis effect would be eliminated with the adjustment for the aforementioned variables. Finally, Wolfie6020 posted a video last week on the coriolis effect on aircraft. Apologize fir lengt of comment but flerfrs who claim to be sniper savvy in this subject irritates the hell out of me. The hours I spent practicing to be a fairly proficient shooter pales in comparison what dedicated snipers spend honing their skills. I apologize for length of this comment. As always a huge fan of your work. From the depths of the bayou I bid you adieu.

A point of correction. As sombody who has had to fire the Barret in anger I can say that it was never designed to be a "sniper" rifle. Its purpose is a anti material weapon. The semi auto with a barrel that recoil makes it very inaccurate at long range, especialy if you need to fire a 2nd shot. The barrel never recoil back to the same postion. You can thump a engine block from 2000 yards away but good luck on hitting bad guy. Yes it's been done but it's not a normal thing. We used ours mostly for dealing with VBID/ IED and personnel behind cover (wall or steel plate). What accuracy at long range then the Accuracy International Super Magnum (L115A1) is your weapon of choice. It will reach out and touch the ones you dislike the most. Had 2 at our FOB in Afghanistan and they can put lead on target out too 1900m (our best) with confirmed kills out to 2475m by a British Soldier. Edit: Also, the CheyTac M200 is a nasty weapon also. It can hit out to 3000m but due to the bullet going from super sonic to trans sonic to sub sonic at those ranges the round becomes unstable. Only fired the M200 20 times and that was at a finalization range out to 1500m and was nats ass accurate.

Well done Bob. One minor point of improvement: It's worth reinforcing more strongly that even at sniper ranges where coriolis has a noticeable effect, that effect is often smaller than the inherent accuracy of the weapon. Which means that factoring in coriolis force does not make the difference between hitting the target and missing it, it improves the probability of actually hitting the target. Eg: if you're shooting at a tall target 20 inches wide, with a rifle of an inherent uncertainty of 20 inches off centre, you have a 50%-ish chance of hitting it. But if coriolis force has an displacement of 10", for example, ignoring it means your 50% has just become 25%. I remember reading somewhere a comment from the DoD about ultra-accuracy on sniper rifles. It said, roughly, the goal is to do the training and provide the equipment to hit exactly where you want every time at any range. There's many relatively obscure forces in addition to coriolis forces (eg: spindrift) that can be factored in without burdening the shooter too much, however, even measuring wind speed and direction can be subject to so much error, that the obscure forces get swamped, so at least at the basic sniper training level it's simply not worth teaching the obscure stuff. But the true experts push themselves beyond the basics to get the best possible results and are willing to expend the effort to "do it all". There are manuals for those too. I think I did find coriolis in the advanced army manuals, not the basic ones. You didn't say much about battleships, despite the intro. I found this gem: The necessity of accounting for the Coriolis force by battleship gunners is discussed in Marion's mechanics book. The relevant paragraph is quoted here: "During the naval engagement near the Falkland Islands which occurred early in World War I, the British gunners were surprised to see their accurately aimed salvos falling 100 yards to the left of the German ships. The designers of the sighting mechanisms were well aware of the Coriolis deflection and had carefully taken this into account, but they apparently were under the impression that all sea battles took place near 50 degrees N latitude and never near 50 degrees S latitude. The British shots, therefore, fell at a distance from the targets equal to twice the Coriolis deflection." (Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems, Second Edition - by Jerry B. Marion, Academic Press, Inc., 1970, p.346 fn.)

This is a very good video. A few other, perhaps insignificant, details about planes and bullets. A bullet is a ballistic object. It gets its impulse at the starting point, and from the moment it leaves the barrel (or maybe I should include the exhaust from the barrel), its path is described by the mass, velocity, and the external forces acting on it. An airplane is not a ballistic object. An airplane is propelled by engines that are part of the object itself as it flies through the atmosphere. Though it is also subject to external forces, it is able to exert force to counteract those external forces and does not have to rely on momentum alone. Even in non-powered flight, an aircraft is able to exert forces on the air around it, and should not be considered a ballistic object.

In short, it is always present, but often not big enough that it requires adressing. Great video Bob.

If I met him I would talk about how in the UK we have service numbers (mine ends 3873) and ask if they do the same in the Marines. Having asked what his number was I would wait a few minutes and then repeat the question. You could wait ten years between asking for my service number and I would give the same answer. If I met anyone claiming to be ex-Army I would know within a minute if they were lying just by talking about where and when they served. If they were Navy or Air Force I would know by the way we take the piss out of each other and the banter. You don’t even need to find a real sniper to prove this guy is talking crap, just a Marine.

As an ”expert ” on classical Mechanics I really like the Coriolis Effect (and the Foucault pendulum): Principle of Least Action, Lagrange equations, rotating frame of reference . Just beautiful! Well the Eötvös effect is actually a component of the Coriolis force. The Coriolis force has a component parallel to the surface of the earth (the “normal “Coriolis effect) and a component pointing in the direction of the radius of the earth ( up or down) . This is the Eötvös Effect. The explanation with added centrifugal force is of course also correct. Some mathematics explanation.... www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/dynamics/two.pdf Richard Feynman: “When I was in high school, my physics teacher called me down one day after class and said, “You look bored, I want to tell you something interesting”. Then he told me something I have always found fascinating. Every time the subject comes up I work on it.” Feynman’s teacher told him about the “Principle of Least Action”, one of the most profound results in physics. Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965.

I was a squad designated marksman in the Army. Which is not very much like a sniper but we did have allot of training shooting targets 600 meters and closer. As far as I know, that is not nearly far enough for the effect of Earth's rotation to change your shot. If I am not mistaken, most shots made by snipers are 500 meters and closer. Also, what kind of range does this guy have where he can set up shots 600 yards in two directions?

A sniper once explained to me how he did this very test to demonstrate eotvos on a salt flat. More than enough room to fire due east or west 1km. Under identical conditions of time equipment, distance, shooter etc, he explained how the ranging computer used the inbuilt azimuth of the computer to adjust the elevation accordingly. Recording his shots by somehow having a phone showing what he was aiming at ( to show he was being consistently accurate to the best of his ability) he fired both east and west. When he applied the elevation adjustment recommended by the computer he matched his accuracy of firing east to firing west. When he did not, he consistently dropped short.

Excellent analysis. If flerfers could do maths for themselves then maybe Coriolis wouldn’t be such a mystery to them - of course then they’d have to recognise that the earth IS actually revolving... I’m surprised that the Barratt only groups to 1.5 MOA. I would have expected better. Maybe that’s worst case for a cold barrel shot followed by a warm barrel shot. Then again the M82 is semi-auto and I’m more accustomed to a single shot bolt action which should (in theory) offer better accuracy - especially if you develop your own loads.

16 inch naval gun. Range 20.55 NM. Muzzle velocity 1600 NM per hr. What’s missing in the graphic at 7:00, is during the time of flight of the projectile, the cannon has moved east too. At the equator... The cannon and projectile are moving east 901 NM per hr. Muzzle velocity is 1600 NM per hour. The cannon and projectile are moving east at 56% of the muzzle velocity. Max Time to impact about 45 seconds. When fired due north the cannon and projectile have both moved east 11 NM. (Remember the longitude of the cannon does not change. It’s moving with the earth.)
@scott_meyer

Yes, the cannon has also moved, but that's irrelevant. The cannon could disappear after firing and nothing changes. The round has moved east 11 NM. But the target area has also moved east, just not as far. And there is why it misses to the east if not accounted for.

Mr. Bob, interesting video and prop marine. When I was stationed in Aberdeen Maryland Proving Grounds in a small Marine Detachment in said Army Base, the military rivalry was hot and heavy just like it was in the Nam where those Marines that failed the top secret ballistics school on canon trajectories would get shipped straight to Danang airport and be reassigned in that hellhole to some hot LZ. Watching your video, which I liked but not loved, gave me flashbacks of over 55 years ago when I went into the head (boys room back then; when foxholes were round and not oval like today) to take a piss and with the hot rivalry between army dogs and marine jarheads, I wasn’t going to stick around to respond to the usual army dog slurs on marines mainly because I was far outnumbered. After taking a healthy piss from drinking the Pabst Blue Ribbon beer for 25 cents out of the beer machine, an army dog asks me loudly: Hey! Don’t you Marines wash your hands after taking a piss? The air went quiet as the group of army dogs awaited for my response, and I answered: IN THE MARINE CORP THEY TEACH US NOT TO PISS ON OUR HANDS! And I booked out of there, but could hear some boots behind me and a roar of laughter from the majority group of the Army dogs all crowded together like bitches going to powder their noses and put on their makeup, but I guess that’s common practice now that you get high heels and lipstick in your C-rations (MR. Es, or whatever they’re called now). Upon exiting the bathroom door I halted and swung around to punch the first army dog square in the nose and blood exploded from his face, it was the army dog that asked me the question loudly in front of his buddies. I then swung around again and booked into the forest in my natural environment. A few minutes later, Marines were front and center in front of the Marine barracks with an Army dog with face all bandaged up trying to identify the Marine that hit him with a “club”, or “sap”. It was my fist only and I was scared shitless. I still hadn’t turned 18 years of age and I was the smallest kid in that bathroom. It reminded me of junior high (middle) school when entering into a white bathroom only and I am very far from being an albino. A few minutes later, MPs and Provost Marshal closed the bar and thirty marines stood front and center for a long time until they gave up the perpetrator (still hiding in the forest). By the way, back then, those Marines would’ve given me up in a flash. The only Marine brothers are made in combat. Looks like A.I. might have messed up my text, but either way, back to the Coriolis Effect and the curvature of the Earth that said effects are perpendicular (90 degrees) to each other and thus combined effects use trigonometric functions to calculate the total effect from each; excluding the plethora of other known and yet unknown variables. I wish I had your technical prowess in making videos, but since I don’t, I can only request for you, if so kindly you put up the equations involved with the two variables discussed. For example, put your map of the Earth, but only the northern hemisphere, and at 45 degree latitude, mean sea level, 59 degree Fahrenheit, 50% relative humidity, and 29.92 inches of mercury with zero wind shoot out to 1,000 yards at an azimuth of zero degrees, and thereafter, shoot same distance but increment the azimuth by 1 degree until you go all around a circle firing 359 shots then plot on a graph the deflections both vertically and horizontally then make your video claim and explain why the graph is lying. Do not shoot 360 rounds because zero is a number; similar to binary math where an 8-bit counter has 256, but only 255 steps because the zeroth step (the floor) is a number. I liked your video and will follow, but I don’t totally agree, and I’ve been wrong three times in my life, I’m on my fourth marriage. Thank you for the great video and for the flash from the past. And don’t thank me for my service because I didn’t serve, I sacrificed too many friends that took care of me and I looked up to them and I had to tag and bag them in forty pound body bags to send what ever pieces were recoverable back home at an age that I was too young to smoke and drink alcoholic beverages, but were accessible on base with no proof of Identification.

Although this analogy is inaccurate regarding the actual mechanics involved, I find that it helps elucidate the general concept of Coriolis. Consider a canoe crossing a stream from one bank to the other moving perpendicular to the direction that the water is flowing. Since the wter closest to either bank experiences friction, the speed of the water gradually moves faster towards the middle. This will cause the canoe to twist.

The Coriolis effect is not supposed to have any tropical storms in the equator, and storms in the Southern hemisphere are always going clockwise, right? Why didn't this happen in 2001 with the Southern hemisphere Tropical Storm Vamei, which traveled through the equator, and was going counterclockwise? Naval Postgraduate School, in Monterey, CA did a tiny paper on it and said that other oceanic forces prevailed, such as the narrowing of the South China Sea, temperatures, and winds. So even with our small 60 year recorded history of these storms, the Coriolis effect doesn't seem to hold true all the time. Other oceanic factors seem more important.
@BobtheScienceGuy

Coriolis, in this example, almost doubles the error of the gun at that distance. Well, technically it shifts it. Not a difficult adjustment, but I would still compensate for it nonetheless vs just ignore it. Not sure what the deal is between you and the weirdo from the beginning. But that's none of my business.

This is not an aerodynamic effect, but the slight pull of earth’s rotation on a bullet, pulling it a tiny bit right or left. Seldom considered by riflemen because it’s only a concern at extreme ranges, this deviation varies according to where the shooter is located, and the direction of his fire. It’s greatest on the poles and least on the equator, and the closer a shooter is to firing directly east or west, he can minimize its impact. However, again, calculating the effect requires a ballistic computer and, I suspect, most snipers make their best guess and take the shot"
