Talk:SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle: Difference between revisions

Line 43:

The ammo section of this article seems to imply that the discarding sabot is the fins on the bullet, when in fact the sabot is compleately differnt. I am going to rewrite this with the correct information. [[User:Not Now John|Not Now John]] 07:35, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

== Barrel ==

Most weapons systems that employ APFSDS (Armor Piercing, Fin Stabilised, Discarding Sabot) have a non-rifled barrel so that they are more effective as using an APFSDS round in a rifled barrel would convert some of its linear kinetic energy into rotational kinetic energy and thus, means it's ability to penetrate materials in reduced. If the SRS99D-S2 AM has a rifled barrel, it would seem somewhat illogical, though it is possible if it incorporated ball bearings to isolate the rotation. It would also however increase barrel wear. So would the SRS99D-S2 AM have a rifled or smoothbore barrel? [[User:SSG Bozo|SSG Bozo]] 00:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
