Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates and explains the causes of wear and damage inside the barrels of machine guns and other small-caliber firearms. The author uses metallographic analysis to study microscopic changes in gun barrels, conduct experiments with intentional damage, and review previous research. The book provides a complete picture of factors that impact the lifespan of gun barrels, from the abrasive action of the bullet to the effects of hot gases. It also discusses the role of the gun barrel's manufacturing process in its susceptibility to cracking. The author concludes that the deterioration of gun barrels is caused by a combination of the abrasive action of the bullet and abrasion by hot gases, but to a greater degree by the former.
