Worth it? Not to me.

Look at the projected paths of hurricanes; the spreading area ahead of each storm represents a collection of computer projections,each one is supposed to predict the path. The programers have some really big computers and a LOT of data to base the programs on; not only are the projections widely different they are often quite inaccurate in the event. And those storm projections are made with millions of dollars worth of data samples, skilled people and very high priced hardware so they are about as good as computer models can get. The support for internal ballistics projections aren't even in the same ball park as the weather guys, for whatever that's worth.
