to have the work done by an experienced professional.

Can you bend a gun barrel?

What happens if you shoot the barrel of a tank?

Probably nothing

. The barrel has been designed to resist fire. The AP round in the barrel will not take a lot of damage from the bullet. Since the AP round needs to be fired for it to be armed, the bullet will not set it off.

Can bullets be fired in a vacuum?

Fires can’t burn in the oxygen-free vacuum of space

, but guns can shoot. Modern ammunition contains its own oxidizer, a chemical that will trigger the explosion of gunpowder, and thus the firing of a bullet, wherever you are in the universe. No atmospheric oxygen required.

Can a wallet stop a bullet?

Can rifling be repaired?

Yes, the rifling can be restored at a slightly larger diameter of both lands and grooves

. When you look down the barrel, you will see that there are “pits” in both the bottoms of the grooves and lands. To restore, the grooves must be cut deeper (larger diameter) and the lands bored to a larger diameter.

Modern small arms barrels are made of

carbon steel or stainless steel

materials known and tested to withstand the pressures involved.

Does the Krummlauf work?

However, we are talking about failed weapons. The Krummlauf (“curved barrel”) was an example that

did not work so well

What is the biggest gun in the world?

.

Would a firearm work in space?

Assuming you are floating freely in space the gun will work just as it does on Earth

. However, the bullet will continue moving for many thousands of years, eventually coming to a stop due to the friction from the diffuse material found in ’empty’ space (or when it encounters another object).

Why is titanium not used in body armor?

Titanium’s relatively poor shear strength, combined with its very poor heat transfer properties, make it inherently susceptible to fail catastrophically in such situations via a phenomenon known as adiabatic shear plugging.

Can a cast iron skillet stop a bullet?

If you’re confronted in your kitchen,

don’t reach for the cast-iron skillet

. Surprisingly, that didn’t stand up to the gunshot. However, if you can make your way to the laundry room, that 14-pound box of kitty litter could save your life, as long as you hold it so the bullet has to travel the long way through.

What metal is bulletproof?

Kevlar

. Perhaps one of the better-known bulletproof materials, Kevlar is a synthetic fiber that’s heat resistant and incredibly strong. It’s also lightweight, making it a popular choice for wearable bulletproof items. Kevlar is used in both military and civilian applications.

Does threading a barrel affect accuracy?

Threading

it shouldn’t affect accuracy

, if it was cut down some, maybe. I did read that you may need to re-zero after putting a suppressor on, but doesn’t have to do with the threading.

Can a rifle barrel wear out?

The rifling at the muzzle of my match rifle shows

hardly any wear at all

. Barrel life is determined by a number of things. First is the powder charge relative to the diameter of the bore. The more powder you burn, the sooner your barrel will die.

Does cutting a barrel affect accuracy?

Subject: RE: What would happen if I cut the barrel of a rifle down?

The barrel crown is crucial for accuracy

as you need a perfect end to not affect the bullet flight when it leaves the barrel. ANY minor flaw will affect it and also the gasses as they leave the barrel can mess with the barrel.

What happens if you dont clean your guns?

They leave behind remnants of carbon from the gunpowder, as well as trace amounts of lead and copper.

The residual fouling can build up in the barrel, affecting your precision and potentially your handgun’s reliability

. Failure to fire: Failure to fire is a common issue with guns that don’t see regular cleaning.

How much does a trigger job cost?

The whole service runs

between $100 and $300

, depending on the weapon and what you need done. Most of the time this costs less than buying a new trigger group, and for the money, you won’t find a kit that can improve your weapon like our gunsmiths can.
