How Bad Are Rifles Without Rifling?
Banana Ballistics has published a video testing how rifles perform when the rifling is removed from the barrel. Rifling is the spiral grooving inside a barrel that spins a bullet for stability and accuracy, so the experiment explores how much performance is lost without it. Viewers are engaging heavily with the physics behind why spin-stabilized bullets fly straight and what happens when that spin is gone.
Why now: It is a popular hands-on physics experiment showing a counterintuitive firearms question put to the test.
