[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 2585926, member: 67552"] To expand a little on Orkins video. I agree with the theory on pressure. There is the shear outward pressure of gas and bullet, but you also have to add the pressure of thermal expansion as the barrel steel is also growing as it heats creating pressure in a different or all directions. All of these may also make the steel susceptible to some degree of chemical reaction possibly causing erosion through reaction as opposed to abrasion? Just spitballin. [/QUOTE]
