A gun requires a sighting mechanism if it is to be able to hit its target, but you cannot construct such a device before you have a complete understanding of how the weapon will function when firing under different conditions.
External Ballistics is the study of how a projectile flies after leaving the gun. The study of what happens while it is still in the gun is called Internal Ballistics.
