Wait how would it bro

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.

When will heavy duty CNC sewingachines become as cheap as 3d printers so we can just make chest rigs and kevlar sheets in a few hours? That would be bad ass.

The expensive part of Kevlar is the actual material @Red Korvo

Like it's this weird ass semi liquid crystal fiber

@Red Korvo just buy a sewing machine you fucking mong.

@Red Korvo you're autistic

@franknotcreep I imagine that a spool of kevlar would be cheaper than the fabric at least. And you could make your own shit more easily.

Yeah but that isn't sewn dingus

You can buy kevlar pretty cheaply

It's woven

@War Waifu eventually I plan to. I need to move out and get more space for one.

It's a sewing machine

You can do it at your desk

I have a computer at my desk, and nowhere to store the sewing machine. I need to clean out my room as it is.

Wash your penis

@franknotcreep By CNC sewing machine, I meant one that could weave too, my bad.

Two very different machines

Are you Jorden Petersoning me?

yeah a loom and a sewing machine are way different
