Ballistic

Hello

Could anybody tell me what does the expression "ballistic" mean? I found it in the dictionary but it doesn´t match with the context I read it.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Ballistic

to go ballistic usually means to go crazy, to fly off the handle, to pop your top etc. alocarse would probably be a pretty good translation. Why don't you post the context too? That would help with knowing the meaning.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say with that.

En ese caso entonces, diría "Now it makes sense"
