Does gun recoil affect accuracy?
It can.
What factors determine the length of a gun barrel?
Barrel length is measured from the bolt face to the end of the barrel.
Will tacking a slug barrel to the gun make much difference in accuracy?
No
How accurate is the bt4 assault?
It is completely dependent on you paint quality, how it matches the barrel and the consistency of your propellant, the gun itself may only affect %10 or less of accuracy.
Does a pitted barrel change the accuracy of a gun?
It may or may not depending on the ammunition used.
What is the barrel length of a Model 12 riot gun?
The one I have has a 20 inch barrel.
Is it dangerous to shorten a gun barrel?
It can be, depending on the action the gun uses. It can also be illegal if you cut the barrel length below the legal limit. In the US, a Title 1 rifle must have a minimum barrel length of 16 inches, and a Title I shotgun must have a minimum barrel length of 18 inches.
What does it mean if a gun has a fluted barrel?
The barrel has deep grooves milled into the outside of the barrel. Called flutes, the grooves reduce the weight of the barrel, yet leave it a stiff barrel with very good accuracy.
What are the main specifications of the Type 100 submachine gun?
The main specifications of the Type 100 Submachine Guns include weight length and barrel length. The weight of the gun empty is 7.5 pounds, loaded is 9.7 pounds. The length of the gun is 35.4 inches. The barrel length is 9.1 inches.
How does temperature affect the accuracy of a bb gun?
YES! Especially CO2 systems.
What is the minimum legal length of a shot gun barrel in minnesota?
The usual minimum length is 18 inches measured from the face of the closed bolt. It is possible to own and possess a shotgun with a shorter barrel, but this requires obtaining a federal tax stamp ($200). Also shortening the barrel causes a loss of accuracy and a reduction in velocity of the shot.
How will the range of a gun increase with barrel length?
barrel length increases accuracy not range. It increases range also. not it doesnt, it allow for different bullets which may contain more gun powder but it you fired the same bullet from a regular M-16 and a short barrel M-16 they will both travel the same distance as the bullet is subject to the same thrust, friction and gravity forces which ultimatly determine the max range. however the longer barrel contains more coils giving the bullet more spin enhancing accuracy. to increase range you need more thrust or reduced friction or mass of the bullet none of which has anything to do with barrel lengh ==Actual Answer== Please do not speak if you do not know what you are talking about. It is a well known fact that barrel length increases range, that is a big reason they use them on sniper rifles. Seriously, it is laughable that you would try to speak against it when you have not even tried to research it, everyone in the firearms world would laugh. The longer barrel allows for the expanding gases to have more time to accelerate the bullet down the barrel, and increases the muzzle velocity, which in turn allows the bullet to travel farther. I hope I don't have to describe why a faster muzzle velocity increases the range as well. Now as for accuracy, I have not read anything yet that really gives me a good reason besides "it should." I'm going to leave it up for grabs for now to be interpreted either way, but as of now, I have not found sufficient evidence that barrel length greatly affects accuracy. If anything, a longer barrel will allow for more vibration which can slightly lower accuracy. Most of accuracy is up to other factors in the gun, like rifling for example.
