Rifling refers to helix-shaped pattern of grooves and bands that have been formed into the inside of the barrel of a firearm to impart a spin to a projectile around its long axis. This spin gyroscopically stabilizes the projectile and improves its accuracy and stability.

What is the land in a gun?
Lands and grooves are the portions inside the barrel that make up the rifling, which is a spiraling series of raised lines (lands) which put a spin on the projectile as it travels down the barrel. This stabilizes the projectile and allows longer range and better accuracy.
Is a match grade barrel and a gas piston system a bad combination due to pistons accuracy loss?
Not the best combination if you are seeking long range accuracy.
What barrel length will give the best long range accuracy 200yds to 800yds in a 7mm rem mag?
26"
What is the most accurate Tippmann A-5 paintball barrel for the price and length of the barrel?
This depends on you budget, quality of paint and what job you need done. If you are close range, the stock barrel is fine. if you need long range, get an apex or flatline barrel, if you want maximum accuracy, you need a two piece barrel and paint that fits the bore perfectly.
What barrel should you get for your spyder pilot?
If you need better accuracy, buy a Custom products 2 piece barrel. If you need better range, buy an Apex tipped barrel. If you need a lighter barrel, buy a Carbon fiber barrel, like the Azodin Carbon or Stifi MF.
What is the uses of micro caliper?
It measures the inside or outside diameter of an object with a degree of accuracy in the microscopic range.
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.
How far can the longstrike shoot?
The Nerf Company says it shoots 30-35 feet without mods, and with the barrel extenstion. The barrel extension shortens range, but give accuracy. There are 2 main types of mods, including the removal of the Air Restrictor. These mods greatly affect the power and range of the gun.

What caliber is a paintball?
Very much so. Paintball guns come in .43 .50 and .68 caliber, none of which can be used in place of the other. .50 and .43 caliber has been shown many times to be inferior to the common .68 caliber however. The size/mass/volume/and ballistic coefficient of the .43/50 cal are not able to match the performance that the .68cal is able to produce currently. Also within the .68 caliber range there are differently manufactured paintballs averaging about .685 but usually range +/- .015. This paint bore, and its matching to the barrel bore is the most important factor in accuracy: If a ball is smaller than the insides of a barrel (barrel bore) the ball may bounce around inside the barrel as it travels. This will cause in-accuracy. However a ball that is bigger than the barrel bore may break inside the barrel from the friction. It is common belief that finding the proper fit between paint and barrel (paint to barrel match) makes for the best effect.
What was the range and accuracy of the sixshooter used in the 'wild west' please?
range about 30 yards. accuracy depended on shooter....................
