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.

Why do racing vehicles use alcohol-based fuels instead of conventional gas?

Alcohol requires less energy to give energy than conventional gas. With Alcohol, you can accelerate at a much faster pace than you can gas because of little it needs to expend its potential energy. The MAJOR drawback to running alcohol, it is horrible burn time. It burns at a much greater rate than conventional gas. You get more power, but consumption is more as well
