Where you out of, champ?

Just moved back up north, I was in Georgia previously

@EZflats Are you coptic?

Vibin

@下道 do you wonder why you don't have access

because buying fashion splinter shit is why you don't have access

good thing i wasnt wondering

>original ww2 jacket

>fashion shit

u think ur gonna cry?

is that pic real

@下道 that's a very loose "original WW2 jacket"

Does barrel length effect the final spin rate at all? Or is a bullet rotating at the intended speed as soon as it fully engages the rifling?

thats a function of twist, doesnt matter if its one inch or 1000 inches, as long as the bullet stabilizes

Wait how would it bro

vibe check

Thanks.

Someone shoot this kid a /arg/ invite.

@franknotcreep I thought maybe the bullet slips, and the rifling gradually brings it up to speed. You know how boat propellors have a pitch angle that's basically the same as a twist rate, it's just exterior "threads" instead of interior? But if you throttle up a boat, you won't travel at the speed implied by the twist rate and RPM of the prop because water slips. At the velocity of a bullet, I thought copper and steel might exhibit similar slippage, but it's still metal on metal and rifling engraves bullets rather than turning them down like a lathe so I wasn't sure.

Oh, /arg/ has a discord?

So a couple of guns have been made with variable twist rifling

It's mostly for not having barrels of really hot cartridges destroy themselves as quickly

But it's super expensive to do compared to normal rifling

sounds like you could just buy 2 barrels

Na it's like the twist gets tighter as it goes so that the bullet isn't instantly forced to spin up to full speed

Because if the gun is some retard fudd load that destroys rifling

I have heard of those. What kinds of cartridges would run that hot?

The Lee navys had em iirc

Mostly just meme guns

Why not use that on normal barrels to make them last longer? More expensive that replacing them?

It's absurdly expensive

Oh, you'd probably need a CNC gun lathe to do that now that I think about it.

So basically, within a year our 3D printing Russian god will have figured out how to do it with $20 in hardware store parts and a few stepper motors.
