The title "Father of Modern Ballistics" is often attributed to Major General Julian Hatcher. Hatcher was an influential American firearms expert, author, and military officer. His work in the early to mid-20th century laid the foundation for much of the modern understanding of external, internal, and terminal ballistics.
One of his most notable contributions to the field is "Hatcher's Notebook," published in 1947. This comprehensive text is considered essential reading for anyone interested in the science of ballistics, firearms design, and forensic ballistics. Hatcher's extensive research and systematic approach to studying the behavior of bullets and firearms have had a lasting impact on the field.
