What is WCD?<br>
<br><br>
A perennial question when shooting at live targets is: Is this combination of caliber, pellet weight, and
on-target velocity adequate for a humane kill? The WCD calculator uses the principles of terminal ballistics to estimate the depth of penetration of a pellet in living tissue.
<br><br>
Use it conservatively to predict whether there is a reasonable expectation that a given airgun will cause the pellet to arrive with adequate energy to reach deeply enough in the intended quarry at the expected range.
