Thread 64501672

Why doesn't imparting spin on a bullet with rifling cause the bullet to go off trajectory with the magnus effect if theres wind?

>>64501672 (OP)
I think it just happens so fast that it doesn't matter.
>t. retard that doesn't actually know

>>64501672 (OP)
because bullets aren't balls

>>64501672 (OP)
Because the axis of spin is parallel to the trajectory of bullet's movement.

>>64501672 (OP)
It does do that. That's why some machine gun optics have spin drift compensation. It's just that at most ranges its effect is negligible.

It does, retard.
Earth's rotation is also a factor.

You Need momentum tò oppose another objects momentum.
mass*Velocity, Wind tò apply a force Need a large surface area, bullets dont have a large surface area, are going much faster than Wind.
And you Need to account Wind variation, but It varies for distance.

Theoretically, if you were to shoot a bullet at just the right angle and velocity into a tornado, would it get spun right round baby right round?

I add rifling to my barrels precisely to make them go off course when im shooting outside

Its path in space would bear some resemblance to a record baby right round round round, yes.

Make sure to shoot your guns upside down indoors to counter the Coriolis effect.

dumb question but does shooting a gun in australia differ from shooting a gun in murmansk in terms of rotation?

why would it? You're not a globetard, are you?
