The ballistic limit or limit velocity is the velocity required for a particular projectile to reliably (at least 50% of the time) penetrate a particular piece of material. In other words, a given projectile will generally not pierce a given target when the projectile velocity is lower than the ballistic limit. The term ballistic limit is used specifically in the context of armor; limit velocity is used in other contexts. The ballistic limit equation for laminates, as derived by Reid and Wen is as follows: where where

| - The ballistic limit or limit velocity is the velocity required for a particular projectile to reliably (at least 50% of the time) penetrate a particular piece of material. In other words, a given projectile will generally not pierce a given target when the projectile velocity is lower than the ballistic limit. The term ballistic limit is used specifically in the context of armor; limit velocity is used in other contexts. The ballistic limit equation for laminates, as derived by Reid and Wen is as follows: where
* is the ballistic limit
* is a projectile constant determined experimentally
* is the density of the laminate
* is the static linear elastic compression limit
* is the diameter of the projectile
* is the thickness of the laminate
* is the mass of the projectile Additionally, the ballistic limit for small-caliber into homogeneous armor by TM5-855-1 is: where
* is the ballistic limit velocity in fps
* is the caliber of the projectile, in inches
* is the thickness of the homogeneous armor (valid from BHN 360 - 440) in inches
* is the angle of obliquity
* is the weight of the projectile, in lbs (en)
