    @@rcfokker1630 yes, they really do flex that much! Think about it. There's an explosion (ok, pedants, a deflagration) inside the barrel. That causes a pressure wave to go down the barrel at supersonic speeds. Supersonic speeds for sound in metal. Then that pressure wave hits the muzzle and part of it gets reflected back towards the chamber, where it gets reflected back towards the muzzle, repeat ad nauseam. This is still supersonic in metal, so the bullet hasn't left the barrel, and the rifling engaging is causing the barrel to twist opposite the spin of the rifling (trying to make the rifling straight).

    ​@Jordon Carlson ME (B.S.) here. Firearm operating systems were not covered by any instructor in my program, although there were some junior/senior-year projects that probably would have allowed someone the latitude to choose something in this area (for, e.g., demonstrating design principles, stress calculations, material considerations, etc.). To my mind, that makes sense, though. Subjects like statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, etc. apply to everything from firearms to clockworks to car chassis to jet engines. I do feel Arkadeep's complaint, though. Engineering is deep and wide, and I think the most a 4-year degree can give you is a good toolset and starting point to get into your interests in further ed or on your own time.

    @Jordon Carlson Good question! Even then, it seems like it might have fallen to on-the-job training within military contractors ... but I could be wrong. Something else worth noting, relevant to your first question, is that although it seems like "mechanical engineering" would be concerned with *mechanisms* as a matter of course, that whole area got only very light coverage in my undergrad at least. I think "physical" engineering might give a better sense of the main subject matter - not at all to trivialize it, just to say there's so much groundwork to learn for the engineering that goes into many commonplace things like guns, engines, motor controllers, and so on.

    @Jordon Carlson As James Pray said the mechanical systems of firearms and their designs are not covered in most engineering degrees, it's too specific of a topic and pretty much no undergraduate degree would cover them in any substantial amount. Even in graduate school, you are not likely to come across many colleges that will offer a degree in the specific field of weapon systems, it is more likely to be attached to something like internal/external ballistics and maybe aerodynamic depending on the specific field. Aside from the military academies, there are only a couple of colleges that offer degrees in armament design/engineering in the U.S. and only a handful around the world that offer an equivalent. However, the curriculum that mechanical engineers go through gives them the knowledge and know-how to be able to design a weapon system and they are often much more desirable than an armament engineer.

    @Jordon Carlson An undergraduate degree, also commonly called a 4-year-degree, or bachelor's degree is what most people get when they finish all the required classes in their field of study. Sometimes students stay in college for an additional amount of time in order to get their master's degree, also called a graduate's degree, which allows a student to become more knowledgeable in a certain field. The field of ballistics specifically relates to bullets, unguided bombs, heavy munitions, etc. so it goes hand in hand with the military, not much else. However, there is one particular area that comes to mind where it would be used outside of the military. I don't know of any college that offers a degree in pure ballistics, most of them have it coupled to a field called forensic ballistics which is crime/evidence related. Forensic ballistitians are able to use external ballistics to determine where bullets have been fired from. Internal ballistics focuses on how a projectile moves through a closed space i.e. the barrel of a weapon. It is a very speciallized field that also requires a very high understanding of math, so unless the company you work for is developing new propellants, it has very limited use elsewhere. External ballistics would focus on how a projectile moves in an uncontained environment i.e. outside of the barrel. This is also called projectile motion in physics and is used on much more regualr basis for things as simple as throwing a baseball or shooting an arrow. As for an armament engineer being more knowledgeable in the firearms operation, you are correct, they would be. When I said that mechanical engineers are often more desirable I was speaking in general. The reason why goes back to the old adage "jack of all trades but master of none, though often times better than the master of one." Mechanical engineers are much more versatile in the job market as a whole, but if a firearms company was hiring between the two then I imagine the armament engineer would be a better choice.

    In my ME degree there was only a single problem presented about calculating the muzzle velocity of a projectile. If you know the pressure in the barrel as a function of distance traveled by the bullet, then you can solve the differential equation to work out velocity. But I wonder whether nowadays even this small piece of firearm related learning has been taken out of the course in order to not trigger students and encroach on their safe space...

    Ian, you should consider doing a follow-up discussion on the Winchester 50 / 59 series of shotguns, using the pretty brilliant David Williams designed floating chamber short recoil system. This created a soft shooting inertia driven shotgun with a fixed barrel. The 59 was further uniquely enhanced with the first steel/fiberglass barrel which made a very light but still comfortably shooting 12 gauge - now largely forgotten.

    Brilliant thankyou, please could you do a series on mechanisms and principles ? Being a Brit I have limited access to fire arms. However your documentations more than compensate and provide us with fascinating and privileged insights, any technical education would only further my understanding of your work. These weapons are gone but thanks to your work they are not forgotten!

    I find it interesting that Short Recoil action isn't used often in long guns, but Long Recoil action was. The Browning A5 and others patterned off that design, as well as the Remington model 8 and its subsequent designs are among my favorite guns.

    @@zepetv589 I've looked into this and Maxim's system was very different then Browning's. Maxim would naturally try to sue but you have to remember, Maxim invented one gun, Browning did 128 and lord only knows how many patented mechanisms and systems. The short recoil mechanisms and principals used today were designed by Browning, not Maxim. Also Browning wasn't an egotistical greedy douchbag like a lot of other inventors in his time.
