I was thinking about the torque that will be applied on the hand(s) when a shot is fired.
Before I come to that - what is the effect of the rifling (turns per inch or cm)? I will argue that the more turns the rifling has per cm, the greater the force applied to the bullet in order to get the spinning started (the accelleration of the spinning or rotation is greater) and the bigger the torque on the barrel/pistol. I will also argue that a heavier bullet and or a hotter load wil have the same effect.
What will happen if we could "suspend" the pistol in the air and pull of a shot? Will the pistol rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise (seen from behind the pistol)? Anyone wants to deliberate?
