An octagon barrel on a firearm typically provides better accuracy due to its increased rigidity compared to a round barrel. Additionally, the octagon shape can give the firearm a more classic and traditional look, while a round barrel may offer a sleeker and more modern appearance.
None,they are one and the same firearm.
any firearm may be referred to as 'gun'. however, only semi-automatics are referred to as a pistol..........................
The best barrel length and velocity calculator for optimizing firearm performance is the JBM Ballistics Calculator. It allows users to input various factors such as barrel length, bullet weight, and muzzle velocity to determine the optimal combination for maximum performance.
A 5-groove barrel rifling has five lands and grooves, while a 6-groove barrel rifling has six lands and grooves. The number of grooves can affect the stability and accuracy of the bullet as it travels down the barrel. Generally, a 6-groove rifling may provide better grip on the bullet, leading to improved accuracy, while a 5-groove rifling may offer easier cleaning and maintenance. Ultimately, the impact on performance can vary depending on the specific firearm and ammunition used.
The Brown Bess is a firearm, a bayonet is an attachment to a firearm like a knife.
They both propel a projectile to hit a target, and their projectiles are specially designed to fly through the air with the least amount of air resistance possible. The differences begin that a firearm mainly uses the explosive force of gunpowder as opposed to using the potential energy of the string on the bow, and ending that modern firearms are rapid-fire devices (with the exception of bolt-action rifles). Also, the effective distance.
That statement means that state laws and the regulation of firearms are the same in every state. That is not a true statement. Each state has its own laws and there are broad differences in state firearm laws. There are also federal firearm laws.
In the military I was taught that "gun" is slang for penis and "weapon" is what you use to kill the enemy. Not sure if this applies, but it might keep you from getting killed by a drill instructor!
Nothing! The US federal government does not require anything when a firearm is transfered between private individuals.
The inside diameter of the barrel measured between the lands.
The differences will usually be in the sear and trigger group, and often in the dimensions for the space milled out for the trigger group to fit into. This prevents a firearm from being converted to full auto by simply dropping in full auto parts. Additionally, a full auto firearm will typically be strengthened and reinforced more than a semi auto will.
