It is an arbitrary concept created by rangefinder manufacturers to sell rangefinders at a higher price for having the feature.
In theory, when you shoot the range -with a laser rangefinder- to a target that is at an angle, it is somehow different in reality.
A little research and development cost that has translated into a lot of revenue.
The ballistic constant is a measure of a projectile's efficiency in overcoming air resistance in flight. It is calculated as the product of the projectile's weight and its ballistic coefficient. A higher ballistic constant indicates better aerodynamic performance.
the crazy old lady was ballistic when she realized her precious kittens had been stolen from her.
ballistic: crazy, uncontrolled " BALLISTIC person"= "crazy person" Ballistic has a specific technical meaning. It refers to the flight, behaviour and terminal effect of projectiles that are unguided. The study of this is known as ballistics. An example sentence might be "A bullet fired from a gun behaves as a ballistic projectile".
The intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was the eventual method developed to deliver nuclear weapons. The variants IRBM (intermediate range ballistic missile) and SLBM (submarine launched ballistic missile) are currently used, along with cruise missiles. However, some weapons are still carried by jet bombers in the USAF's Air Force Global Strike Command (formerly Strategic Air Command).
The range of a nuclear bomb depends on its size and type. Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) carrying nuclear warheads can reach distances of up to thousands of miles. Some ICBMs have a range of over 6,000 miles.
The Agni-IV intermediate range ballistic missile's range is 3,200 - 3,700 km.

A missile with a range of 3500+ miles is an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
Short range ballistic missiles
ICBM stands for Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles is a ballistic missile with a long range (greater than 5500 km or 3500 miles)
The Agni-3 Ballistic Missile has a range capability of approximately 3,000 to 3,500 kilometers. It is a nuclear-capable intermediate-range missile developed by the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
The Agni missile is a family of Short to Intermediate range ballistic missiles developed by India
Scud
Latest Agni-5 7500km...& with full warhead its 5500km
Agni 3 has a range of 3500-5500kms with a payload of 2000kg.It can carry both nuclear and conventional warheads.
A ballistics scientist performs in depth forensic studies. Much of their work is related to fighting crime. The average salary for a ballistic scientist is $65,000 a year with full benefits.
