So I’ve been looking into this for a few weeks. It’s hard to to explore the globe earth theory as all debunkers are jack asses who responses are basically if you don’t know physics you’re a retard and I can’t help you lol. My conclusion so far is NASA is definitely lying about shit and in reality it seems like their is a lot of people who will never be convinced of a globe unless they can see a curve for them selves. Honestly why do globe defenders get so bent out of shape if it’s such a stupid thing to think the earth is flat. If I was arguing with an idiot I wouldn’t even entertain them. What is the purpose of people pushing flat earth. Flat earthers definitely give a reason to why globe theory is pushed so hard. I would like see some level headed debunkers that can actually explain to a normal person why flat earth is wrong and answers to their questions. I find plenty of explanation for flat earth that answers alot of what global theory people say debunk flat earth.

I listed the page as the source for the scanned material you asked for. I also gave you the bureau of ordnance letter number itself as well as the date. You are free of course to request the document officially yourself or search for a scan of it on a website you do trust.
Was a shit source let's just be honest here. Am looking for the archived version but not finding any for that date with the corresponding letter number. If this is the only one out there and it's only available by some request or by using eugeneleeslover.com..... give me a break. It should be archived somewhere, or literally there should be a dozen or more other documents with similar or different explanations. This should be a widely available standardized instructions used in many applications, however it is not.
Now we're sitting here and you're referencing a document we can only find on a fringe unofficial website.
Nonetheless even if it did exist here, that is no proof it is practiced or applicable, there's no proof this is used, and actually there is too much proof that it is not used.
Snipers take everything into account, however they do not account for which direction they are facing because the Earth's rotation will affect them..
The Coriolis effect is the most ridiculous "proof" of spin, mainly because it does not exist, if it did, you should be able to test and prove this in an endless amount of experiments, however you can't.
Even if a ordnance letter number suggests it, this does not prove it is practiced. If it did, you should be able to prove this yourself with any apparatus thrown or shot into the air.
CORIOLIS FORCE
In classical mechanics, an inertial force described by the 19th-century French engineer-mathematician Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis in 1835. Coriolis showed that, if the ordinary Newtonian laws of motion of bodies are to be used in a rotating frame of reference, an inertial force acting to the right of the direction of body motion for counterclockwise rotation of the reference frame or to the left for clockwise rotation--must be included in the equations of motion.
The effect of the coriolis force is an apparent deflection of the path of an object that moves within a rotating coordinate system. The object does not actually deviate from its path, but it appears to do so because of the motion of the coordinate system. The Coriolis effect is most apparent in the path of an object moving longitudinally. On the Earth an object that moves along a north-south path, or longitudinal line, will undergo apparent deflection to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. There are two reasons for this phenomenon: first, the Earth rotates eastward; and second, the tangential velocity of a point on the Earth is a function of latitude (the velocity is essentially zero at the poles and it attains a maximum value at the Equator). Thus, if a cannon were fired northward from a point on the Equator, the projectile would land to the east of its due north path. This variation would occur because the projectile was moving eastward faster at the Equator than was its target farther north. Similarly, if the weapon were fired toward the Equator from the North Pole, the projectile would again land to the right of its true path. In this case, the target area would have moved eastward before the shell reached it because of its greater eastward velocity. An exactly similar displacement occurs if the projectile is fired in any direction.
The Coriolis deflection is therefore related to the motion of the object, the motion of the Earth, and the latitude.
The Coriolis effect has great significance in astrophysics and stellar dynamics, in which it is a controlling factor in the directions of rotation of sunspots, It is also significant in the earth sciences, especially meteorology, physical geology, and oceanography, in that the Earth is a rotating frame of reference, and motions over the surface of the Earth are subject to acceleration from the force indicated. Thus, the Coriolis force figures prominently in studies of the dynamics of the atmosphere, in which it affects prevailing winds and the rotation of storms, and in the hydrosphere, in which it affects the rotation of the oceanic currents. It is also an important consideration in ballistics, particularly in the launching and orbiting of space vehicles. In modern physics, application of a quantity analogous to Coriolis force appears in electrodynamics wherever instantaneous voltages generated in rotating electrical machinery must be calculated relative to the moving reference frame: this compensation is called the Christoffel voltage.
To;dr start firing high velocity shells as described above and see the effect for yourself. On a perfectly calm day with no wind to cause a vector, your shell will still not land in a perfect straight line away from you due to the earths rotation. This is REALY shitty hill to die on man. You could just as easily say the flat earth rotates too and come up with some bullshit that math won’t work to explain. But instead you claim this “just doesn’t exist”.
You're grasping at straws and literally have shown nothing despite all of your typing. I'm 100% open to proof if you have some actual proof.
You go test it if you can't figure it out that's your problem.
Your argument from authority falls flat. You wont respect my page that simply hosts scanned images of the official documents because you won’t even go to it, your words. You won’t accept official pages either, anything from .gov or nasa is not an official source to you because you call them all liars. I can’t give you an official government web page or you’ll poo-poo it, I can’t give you a “fringe” website (unbelievable that a conspiracy website user doesn’t think smaller lesser known sites can hold any useful information) or else you’ll poo-poo it cause it’s not official enough. You will ONLY believe any official or unofficial info that agrees with your bias. Simply claiming “nah they don’t actually use it” is bullshit. You have no first hand knowledge of artillery or naval gunnery, you searching for 3 seconds and not seeing exactly what you want isn’t proof of anything either. Take the time, look at Russian, USA, German, British, French, take your pic of any naval power you wish and look at their charts for naval gunnery and you can find the tables they use for shot adjustment. Naval gunnery and sea battles is quite an interesting topic, it shouldn’t even be that boring to poke into.
You're the one making the argument without any proof. Go test it, easy. Super easy to test. Test it with a baseball. It's nonsense.
