[QUOTE="bigboom, post: 2874219, member: 126877"] Yes which would tighten the barrel. Not really "a scientific way" to test the theory but I have seen videos of machine guns being shot in slow motion. With every shot the entire rifle twists (from the gyroscopic forces of the bullet being spun up to RPM) It twists in the same direction as if you put a wrench on the end of the barrel and were to tighten it. Also I remember hearing somewhere that most handguns have a right hand twist so it pushes the grip into the palm of the right handed shooter, same thing, same force as tightening the barrel. Definately an interesting discussion and hard to picture. [/QUOTE]
