"Ballistic" refers to something that is thrown (shooting counts as "throwing"). A ballistic object is one that rises due to energy being applied to it and then falls back in response to gravity. Since gravity does not affect forward motion (air resistance does) ballistic objects are powered through the first half of their flight and then fall into their targets.
