How do they do the rifling in firearms?
Can be hammer forged, cut or drawn.
What is barrel twist?
In relation to firearms, it has to do with the rate of rifling in the barrel. Rifling is the spiral grooves that puts a spin on a bullet to increase it's accuracy. "Barrel twist" is the rate of spiraling or inches per turn. That is the length of barrel it takes to spin the bullet a full 360 degrees.
Do all types of guns have rifling If not which do not and why?
Not all types of guns have rifling. Shotguns, for example, typically have smoothbore barrels, meaning they lack rifling. This design is intentional, as shotguns are designed to fire multiple projectiles (shot) or larger single projectiles (slugs) that spread out over a wider area, making them effective for hunting birds or in close-range situations. Rifling is primarily used in firearms that fire single projectiles, as it helps stabilize the bullet for greater accuracy over longer distances.
What is the name of a cannon or firearm with an unrifled barrel?
Smoothbore: muskets, musketoon, carbine, blundebuss, howitzer. Rifling made a great difference to accuracy of firearms. I would add to that Mortars.
What is the difference between micro groove rifling in old firearms and Ballard type in new guns?
the micro groove is button cut and ballard is the lands and grooves are not equally spaced
What is a rifle?
A rifle is a firearm with a shoulder-stock which is used to propel a bullet to strike a distant target. The Rifle is distinguished from the muskets of eras past, by the presence of 'rifling'. Rifling is the presence of spiral grooves cut into the interior of the barrel. Rifling induces a spin on the bullet resulting in more stable flight through the air. This spin has the effect of making the firearm more accurate by not only giving the bullet a straighter flight-path, but making the rifle's point of impact more consistent. (Consistency allows the user to properly adjust his sights to ensure his bullets hit where he or she aims.) Previous firearms such as muskets had no rifling. Today shotguns have shoulder stocks, but are typically smooth on the interior and have no rifling. (Some shotguns with rifled barrels exist to shoot specialty 'sabot' ammunition. While still called shotguns by the shooting community at large, the correct term for these firearms is Bore Rifle.) Modern handguns also incorporate rifling, but lack shoulder-stocks and are referred to as pistols.
Gun barrel rifling?
RIFLED firearms are those that have a method of making the bullet spin when fired. This makes for a much more accurate projectile. The oldest and most common means of doing this is buty cutting spiral grooves on the inside of the barrel. These grooves grip the bullet, causing it to spin as it passes up the barrel. The grooves are known as rifling.
What is Rifling in the bore of small arms is designed for?
Rifling in the bore of small arms is designed to impart spin to the projectile as it travels down the barrel. This spin stabilizes the bullet in flight, improving accuracy and range by reducing the effects of aerodynamic drag and wind. The helical grooves, typically cut into the barrel's interior, help ensure a more stable trajectory, allowing for greater precision in shooting. Overall, rifling enhances the effectiveness of firearms in hitting targets accurately at various distances.
Do wheel weights make good lead bullets for black powder guns?
Not really. Lead wheelweights can make decent bullets for modern day firearms. However, muzzle loading firearms have very shallow rifling, and need VERY soft lead bullets. Wheelweights are just too hard.
Why is rifling present in the bore of the barrel?
The rifling is there to spin the bullet, which gives greater accuracy.

What doe groves in a gun barrel do?
Grooves in a gun barrel, known as rifling, serve to impart a spin to the bullet as it travels down the barrel. This spin stabilizes the bullet in flight, improving its accuracy and range by minimizing wobbling. The specific pattern and depth of the grooves can also affect the bullet's interaction with the barrel, influencing factors such as velocity and trajectory. Ultimately, rifling is crucial for enhancing the overall performance of firearms.
