[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2071363, member: 1951"] I’m trying to listen to what you are saying. Right now, your arguments are illogical and you are screaming. Screaming is used in speech to stop others from speaking back. Is that your intent online? Traditionally when on presents illogical arguments, one supports those arguments with articles from a recognized subject matter expert. Can you do that? Does this test you speak about exist? Often times these test results created with taxpayer money are published somewhere. Is it? Maybe you could show us where the cf barrels are deployed into military service? We have other folks questioning your research and expertise with their job function explained? If you are the sme can you explain that? So, last let me give some basic support to your argument. Carbon Fiber is quite similar to graphite. Graphite is an excellent thermal conductor in some forms. Carbon Fiber composites have a history of being poor thermal conductors. There is some activity to improve this by adding graphene to the composite. I don’t know if barrel makers are doing this, but I believe it would be new technology if they were. That would increase the thermal conductivity of the composite. So then we go to the other side. When shots are fired in a barrel, heat is transfered into the barrel at the bore. With a thin barrel, the temperature is raised higher than with a thin barrel because the thermal capacity is lower than a thick barrel. With an ultra thin barrel wrapped in cf, the temp would be even higher because the thermal conductivity of current carbon fiber composites is widely variable but generally lower than steel. Develop a path to transfer heat to the outer surface with something like graphene and this changes, but that is not developed as far as I can tell. [/QUOTE]
