[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 521330, member: 30902"] No, torsion is restricted by the same principles of physics. Until the bullet exits, all the forces are acting on the bullet itself. The torquing effect is felt because the gasses escaping the barrel are following the path created by the lans and grooves of the rifling creating a vortex of gasses at the barrel as they exit. As long as the pressure vessel remains sealed, the forces are simply driving forward. Energy always seeks the path of least resistance, and twisting a small bullet is far easier than twisting a rifle that out weighs it by many, many times over. Again, with a proper muzzle brake you will notice little to no torque effect at all. [/QUOTE]
