We do a LOT of bluing, and the answer is going to be "it depends." If you are talking about hot-salt bluing like a professional shop uses then the answer is absolutely not. We do not plug bores in a hot-salt bluing tank because the pressure would cause the plugs to shoot out of the bore and splash 295 degree caustic salts everywhere. If you are talking about a traditional rust-blue where an application of bluing solution is swabbed onto the prepped steel, the part is allowed to oxidize (rust) in a humid cabinet, then boiled off in water and carded, the answer is yes. Bores do need to be plugged when rust-bluing simply to avoid any of the solution getting into the bore. We make plugs out of wooden dowel when we set up for this process - I know of no commercial reusable bore plugs for this purpose. Finally, if you are referring to swab-on "cold blues" - I would imagine you could plug bores similarly to the rust blue process. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Can a machine gun have a silencer?

Yes, but normally "submachineguns" (small machineguns that use pistol-caliber ammo) are better to put silencers on, since they use less gunpowder and have lower pressures in the barrel. A real rifle-caliber machinegun CAN be used with a special kind of silencer designed to hold up to the heat and pressure of fully-automatic shooting.


What kind of force is the backward kick of a rifle after its been shot?

This will vary depending on the cartridge fired, and the weight of the rifle. With a heavy target rifle in caliber 22 LR, it will be barely noticeable. With a light hunting rifle in 30-06 caliber, it can be enough force to be painful. With VERY powerful cartridges, such as the .577 T-Rex, recoil may be enough to knock you down. Recoil is the REACTION to the ACTION of accelerating a bullet down the barrel. The weight and speed of the bullet generate the recoil (heavier, faster bullets = more recoil) , modified by the weight of the rifle- heavier= less recoil.
