Seriously, however, what is the twist rate? At a nominal 12″, that’s 300,000 RPM – getting mighty close to disintegration speeds. Seems like you’d need permission from Starfleet Command to fire that. When a .22
bullet disintegrates at that RPM, the tangential velocity of the fragments is about 3,500 f/s – enough to cause damage orthogonal to the bullet path over quite a lateral distance. Not safe to shoot if so.

What’s next? Warping the space/time continuum?

Wow! What kind of twist rate are you running for a 224 going that fast? Have you had any trouble with bullets tumbling or keyholing targets? I would imagine if the bullet spun too fast it would spin the jacket right off.”

It’s not too difficult to find bullets that will come apart when driven to too high an RPM. I have done it with .224 bullets (these were factory-labeled with velocity warnings and performed as they should). I’ve also had it occur with lighter-weight bullets fired through a Swedish Mauser. (which generally have a relatively quick twist rate.) Anyway, the concentricity and tensile strength of a bullet is not something that can be ignored.
