摘要:
A firearm barrel, including rifling formed of an alternating, spirally-extending plurality of grooves and lands defining a twist angle adapted for imparting rotation to a bullet being impelled through the barrel from a chamber end to and exiting a muzzle end. The plurality of lands each include a reduced width component communicating with the chamber end of the barrel for a predetermined distance towards the muzzle end of the barrel. The reduced width component defines an acute angle in relation to a longitudinal axis of the barrel adapted to cause a bullet being fired from the firearm to prevent blow-by gases to exit the barrel in advance of the bullet. A method of forming the firearm and barrel is also disclosed.

A barrel for use in a firearm optimized to fire subsonic ammunition with high precision. The barrel groove diameter being within 0.0003 inch of the nominal bullet diameter and the barrel has at least 8 rifled grooves. Each of the plurality of rifling grooves has a sidewall formed from the bore diameter to the groove diameter, wherein the sidewalls formed are substantially parallel and the depth of each of the rifling grooves is shallow. The bullet is obturated as the bullet is forced down the bore. The plurality of shallow barrel grooves forming a plurality of raised lands upon the bullet. The obturated bullet having at least 50% lands formed around the circumference of the bullet body. The buffeting effect upon the bullet in flight by a transition shock wave upon the raised bullet lands is reduced by the plurality of bullet lands and the reduced height of each of the plurality of bullet lands.
摘要:
A firearm barrel has an elongated body defining a bore and defining a bore axis, the body defining a breech end and an opposed muzzle end, a chamber defined in the breech end and contiguous with the bore; the bore having an interior surface having a plurality of alternating lands and grooves, the grooves being surfaces separated from the bore axis by first radius, the lands being surfaces separated from the bore axis by second radius less than the first radius and the lands and grooves being straight elements parallel to the bore axis, such that no spin is imparted to a projectile propelled down the bore. The lands and grooves may extend from the chamber to the muzzle end. The bore may have a constant cross-sectional profile along its length.

A modular barrel system for firearm includes a first barrel segment and a second barrel segment. Each barrel segment comprises a tubular member having an axial bore, a proximal end, and a distal end. The proximal end of the first barrel segment has a first threaded element for removably attaching the first barrel segment to a firearm. The distal end of the first barrel segment has a second threaded element and the proximal end of the second barrel segment has a third threaded element which is complementary with the second threaded element, the third threaded element for removably attaching the second barrel segment to the first barrel segment. In a further aspect, method for the manufacture of a modular barrel system are provided.
摘要:
A bullet may have its base shaped such that explosive from the cartridge or chamber causes the bullet to spin. A bullet may have any shape to the base that causes spinning that closely or exactly matches the rifling of a particular rifle. The base may be structured to achieve an impellor or turbine action to angularly accelerate the bullet while the bullet is being acted upon by an axial force from a propellant explosion during free travel within the gun or while travelling along the rifling.

The present invention relates to rifling of a gun barrel to provide grooves and bores in the gun barrel separated by a single edge area and a polygonal area.
摘要:
A jacketed bullet having a penetrator constructed of a hard material in line with a slug having a lower modulus. At least a portion of both the slug and the penetrator are then encased by a metal jacket. A plurality of circumferentially spaced and axially extending flutes are formed along the slug and possibly the penetrator. These flutes receive deformation of the jacket upon firing of the bullet into a rifled gun bore to thereby reduce friction between the bullet and the gun bore during operation.

A system for firearm barrel modification includes a firearm, a collar and an auxiliary barrel. The firearm has a barrel with holes extending inward from the first muzzle end. The barrel has rifling. The collar surrounds the barrel to serve as a securing anchor for an auxiliary barrel. A sleeve slidably engages onto the firearm from the muzzle. The sleeve contains a tubular component, serving as a barrel extension. The tubular component extends from within the sleeve to form a second muzzle at the opposite end. The mating end of the barrel extension is situated within the sleeve. It butts up against the muzzle and is aligned with the rifling of the gun. Alignment rods protrude from the mating end of the tubular component and insert into corresponding holes at the muzzle end of the firearm. A spring member attached to the sleeve sets in place over the collar.
摘要:
A rifle having a rifled barrel and a cartridge having a bullet having a diameter, a length, a ballistic coefficient (BC), and a muzzle velocity (V1) greater than 1250 ft/sec are related to achieve accuracy at very long range in that the twist of the rifling is substantially equal to: 83.7 ÷ ( bullet length × 2 B C bullet diameter ) × bullet diameter × [ 1 + ( V 3 V 1 × 0.667 ) ] where: V2 is the entry speed for the transonic, i.e. 1,250 ft/sec., and V3 is V1 minus V2. A rifle barrel for receiving a bullet has rifling twist according to the relationship. A method uses the relationship to determine the rifling twist for a rifle barrel receiving a known bullet. Another method uses the relationship to design a cartridge for a known barrel rifling. The relationship is particularly applicable for bullets having a high BC, such as 0.325 or greater.
