How does rifling make firearms more accurate?
it depends on the gun, if its a shotgun then im not sure because ive never fired a rifled shotgun barrel. but with slugs in the shotgun yes it will make it much more accurate. and any traditional gun will be much more accurate with a rifled barrel. thats why muskets sucked lol
What is the difference between smoothbore and rifled shotgun barrels?
A smoothbore is cheaper and works just as well when using regular shot. A rifled shotgun barrel only helps if you are going to be firing slugs, but if you are it improves performance considerably, giving the slug near-rifle accuracy. If you can afford it and plan to be using slugs the rifled barrel can be well worth it and gives you much more versitility.
What if the barrel is rifled on HR handy gun?
If the Barrel is rifled I would say that satisfies the BATF ruling and makes the gun equal to any other Pistol that has a rifled barrel. The whole ruling on this particular firearm is so ridiculous that it makes anyone that was involved in writing this law and singling out firearms like this a complete idiot doesn't make any sense. Rifling only makes the projectile spin as it goes through the air much like a well passed Football and increases accuracy. Having said that, find yourself a good Gunsmith and have the barrel riffled.
When did sniper rifles get invented?
Sniping goes back to the American Revolution, when the Kentucky Rifle was used by sharpshooters behind the American front lines to take out high value targets, such as officers. The Kentucky Rifle had much better performance at range, because it had a rifled barrel vs. the smoothbore barrel of the Brown Bess musket. However, it had no sights, and was slower to load.
Does speed increase accuracy on a bb-gun?
Most BB guns use a "Smooth Bore" barrel. It just a hollow tube for a barrel. They are not consistently accurate. Speed does help some but not much. Pellet Guns and Rifles usually use a rifled barrel, one that has grooves in it. This makes the pallet spin and gives it more accuracy than a BB. There are combination BB and pellet guns made, but they are also smooth bore. I know of one BB/Pellet gun, the Gamo P-23, that is a combo bb/pellet gun. It uses a rifled barrel and special "Led BB's." The common Steel BB will ruin a rifled barrel that's why the Gamo P-23 uses "Led BB's." This barrel makes the BB spin and more accurate. Speed will increase the distance and power of a projectile.
Will shooting buckshot hurt a 12 gauge slug barrel?
No. The lead of the shot is MUCH softer than the steel of the barrel. However, if you have a RIFLED slug barrel, expect poor accuracy with any shot load- the rifling will make the plastic shot cup spin, and as it leaves the barrel, centrifugal force will make the shot pattern open into a "doughnut" shape.
How does a shotgun barrel differ from the barrel of a handgun?
Shotgun barrels in the US must be at least 18 inches long, and are generally smooth inside. Handgun barrels are usually much shorter than 18 inches, and are rifled- a set of spiral grooves (rifling) is cut into the inside of the barrel to make bullets spin when fired.
What is the value of model 870?
For a brand new gun, it can range from $400 to as much as $800. The most expensive sub model is the wingmaster, and the cheapest tends to be the express sub model line.
Gun barrel rifling?
RIFLED firearms are those that have a method of making the bullet spin when fired. This makes for a much more accurate projectile. The oldest and most common means of doing this is buty cutting spiral grooves on the inside of the barrel. These grooves grip the bullet, causing it to spin as it passes up the barrel. The grooves are known as rifling.
Why rifle barrel rifled?
Rifling the barrel imparts spin to the projectile, which helps to stabilize it and keep it "right end first". Projectiles fired from a smooth-bore weapon are much more subject to tumbling, which doesn't make much difference if the projectile is spherical but makes a very big difference to drag and therefore to range and accuracy if the projectile is NOT spherical.
How much you an used Remington 870 wingmaster deer gun worth?

Can you shoot BB with the Gamo PT-85 CO2 pellet gun?
The Gamo PT-85 is designed to shoot Pellets not BB's. Here's why. The barrel in the PT-85 is rifled meaning it has grooved down the barrel that make the pellet spin as it leaved the barrel. Pellets have a soft skirt that catches the C02 blast. This skirt conforms to the grooves as it travels down the barrel. This spinning makes the pellet very accurate as it travels to the target. BB's are usually fired from a smoothed bore barrel, much like a straw, BB tumble as they leave the barrel and can wander off target easily. When a BB is forced into a Pellet rifled barrel. It doesn't conform to the grooves, what it does is scrape the grooves off a little at a time. Each shot damages the barrel a little more making the rifle barrel worthless for pellets. Forcing BB to be fired down a pellet barrel will ruin a very good rifle in a very short time. It will no longer be as accurate as it once was.
