Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Oh I've had knowledge for quite a while now, just too lazy to implement it on a daily basis. Which is partly why I really enjoy this threadOriginally Posted by buffalobo
So, I take it that is an accurate statement about barrel lengths?
Best read I've seen for understanding the topic (and myths) of bullet stabilization.

In short, the LENGTH of a bullet (and longer = heavier in general) the more air can disturb the bullet. Higher rotational stability is needed to prevent the disturbance. A faster twist barrel provides the necessary rotation.
Think of how much rotation a really short top may need to remain upright if you blow air on it, vs how much rotation would be needed to keep a much taller top stable.
Barrel length affects stabilization only by virtue of loss of velocity affecting rotation speed.

At least they didn't steal the tennis balls off the feet on your walker, old man.
Tennis balls are for pussies. I like aggressive all terrain grabbers.

It's a good thing we know kazoo can take care of himself. Otherwise you guys would be in trouble for elder abuse.
