WHich part is he wrong about? It being in there or rifling improving accuracy through spin stabilization?

Tyler Florence... thats the name of that hack of a cook. I wonder what other country's recepies he stole and claimed as his own...

The part about the guy peeing, I assume.

o_frenchtoast · 10-27-2006, 03:57 AM

Bingo. You know, the part that was absurd.

Rifling was invented by one of my relatives.

No joke.

Lost · 10-27-2006, 12:07 PM

Yeah, rifling through teh rubbish bin!

o_loader · 10-27-2006, 12:29 PM

No, rifling in guns.

Although I think we could also say that a spiraled gun barrel won't increase accuracy. I mean come on, what kind of idiot would believe somthing like that!

Right and all that made up crap like gravity...what a bunch of rubes!

Sarcasm.

**mervaka** · 10-27-2006, 02:48 PM

i wonder if rifling works on cannon balls?

o_loader · 10-27-2006, 03:00 PM

Yes, it can. A good museum to goto is Fort Nelson somewhere in Pompey/Portsmouth (I think). Very good museum about guns and shit.

Naw aw.

o_the russian · 10-27-2006, 04:54 PM

far as I know, rifling works on everything from artillery to paintballs

I have an old-school Phantom pump action paint ball gun, amazing stuff.

I'd be interested in reading something that supports the stabilization of cannonballs. My understanding of the principle requires a cylindrical projectile for spin stabilization to be of any use. Spinning a ball projectile has no effect on accuracy...or at least that's my understanding.

o_frenchtoast · 10-27-2006, 07:20 PM

It's like shotput vs. baseball.

It increases damage though.

I dont have a physics book on me, but I know for a fact that paintball barrels that are good are all rifled, and the differences has been both proven, and I experiemented with it myself.. I had a smoothe barrel attachment for my Spyder and a rifled barrel attachment, the difference was more than noticeable. The only downside being that balls tended to break in the rifled barrel more if I went for rapid fire.. turning it into a shotgun...

Well yeah, rifling kinda makes the barrell more 'sharp', so to speak. Hence why it breaks. Bullets, however, dont tend to burst...

St. Augustine's Castillo de San Marcos is only about an hour away and I go there every now and then. Anyways, when the French were sieging Castillo de San Marcos(a pretty damn heavy duty fort) from about a half mile away with cannons(keep in mind this was the late 1600's) they hit the fort damn accurate. There are still marks and holes from where the cannonballs landed, and they hit square in their apparently intended targets. The front of the fort was real messed up, and so were the guard towers and battlements.

Here's a pic of the fort.

Not sure what kind of cannons they used, but they seemed to do good damage with cannons of that era.
