There is a lot less resistance with the polygonal rifling. More over, if the polygonal rifling is chrome lined, the walls of the barrel are completely slick and offer less resistance. The projectile, the bullet, goes way faster. IDPA estimation here in the US are 10-30% faster.

Does a convection oven heats food faster?
Faster than a conventional oven, slower than a microwave
Why are pressure cooker used in cookery?
cooking food faster than conventional cooking
What is a polygonal base?
A base, or bottom, which is polygonal -- that is, a polygon. It's hard to put it in terms any simpler than it already is.
What is a polygonal pistol barrel?
Most rifled firearms have a bore that is round, and has spiral grooves (the rifling) cut inside the bore. However, some guns (notably most Glock pistols) use a different system. The cross section of the bore is a polygon, with several flat surfaces. These surfaces twist in a spiral as you pass up the bore. It is claimed that produces a higher velocity than standard rifling, but it cannot be used with unjacketed lead bullets.
Why were rifled guns not considered the best for militaty use?
Although they weren't as accurate, smoothbore "muskets" were easier, faster to reload than a rifled barrel. Less constriction in the barrel without rifling.
What is faster a train or a airplane?
Planes, on average, are faster than trains. With most planes traveling at 400 to 500mph while even the fastest conventional train in regular operation only goes 200mph
Is it true of false that object oriented programs are executed much faster than conventional programs?
False. OO programs are usually slightly bigger and slower than 'standard' programs.
Why bullet trains have streamlined body?
The streamlined body reduces drag and friction from the air, and allows the bullet train to travel faster than a conventional train.
Why a hover craft travels much faster than steamer pushing through water?
A hovercraft lifts the hull of the craft out of the water. This significantly reduces the friction force exerted on the hovercraft, allowing it to travel faster than a conventional boat.
Why does a rifle shoot more accurate than a musket?
Lands and grooves aka rifling
If you were to parachute in Colorado would you fall slower or faster than in a hotter climate?
In a hotter climate, there are more conventional currents thus meaning that there will be more hot air rising which will effectively slow down the parachute. So in Colorado it will fall faster than in a hotter climate.
What is conventional iconography?
Conventional Iconography is commonly characterized by being much more conventional than unconventional iconography.
