3. Environment
These three main data groups
determine an accurate firing
solution. The first step in getting a
firing solution is selecting your gun.
Gun selection
The Gun Selection screen allows you
to choose a preconfigured gun or
build your own. You may create and
store up to 16 guns. A user-created gun is defined as a
gun that has been modified for one or more parameter
values of the New Gun or any of the preconfigured guns.
A preconfigured gun is any gun loaded onto the Kestrel
using the AB Gun Loader software.
When a New Gun is modified, the name instantly
changes to UserGunX (where X is a number suffix to
ensure the name is unique). If a preconfigured gun
(whose name ends in a letter) is modified, a number
will appear at the end to create a unique name. If a
preconfigured gun (whose name ends in a number)
is modified, a letter will appear at the end to create a
unique name.
