The Revic Ops App is a Free Ballistics Calculator for Long Range applications from Gunwerks. The new Revic Optics Ballistics Engine features a Ballistic Solver that uses a Modified Point Mass Solution (4 Degrees Of Freedom, or 4 DOF) backed by doppler verified ammunition ballistics. The cutting-edge ballistic calculator provides accurate shooting solutions by either ballistic coefficient (G1, G7) or drag coefficient based on doppler radar analysis of select bullets. A library with common, high performance bullets is included in the app and new projectiles are added automatically. The Revic Ops App works as both a powerful stand alone ballistic calculator and also for managing Revic devices such as rangefinders and smart rifle scopes by creating, storing and loading profiles directly from the Revic Ops app via Bluetooth. Profiles include caliber, barrel twist, sight height, muzzle velocity and more. Two-way bluetooth communication allows Revic devices to provide real-time information like station pressure, temperature and more back to the Revic Ops app ballistic calculator. Module Based Features include: Profile Management Create and store unique rifle and ammunition profiles, shareable with other users through QR Codes. Select bullet profiles from more than 950+ datasets. Ballistic Calculator Real Time calculations account for: Environmental Conditions, Target Azimuth and Angle, Wind Speed and Direction, Eotvos, Corriolis, Spin Drift, Aero Jump, and more. Weather Station Query National Weather Service Data based on GPS positioning. Sync or manually enter weather data into the Ballistic Calculator.
