5:32 I'm not an expert, but I believe I understand why that happens and I can explain it simply The longer the barrel is, the more tension it is under, because it's bending under its own weight, even if you can't see it with a naked eye, but this is more noticeable in thinner barrels for obvious reasons. If we make the barrel shorter - we shorten the lever and that tension goes away, which means we can bring out everyone's favourite HARMONICS of the barrel. So, basically, shortening the barrel the way you did, improved harmonics and therefore accuracy

I've heard reloaders have better luck with longer barrels, as the resonance frequency is greater with a longer barrel, making it easier to find the peaks of the waveform (node as reloaders call it, anti-node or maxima as physicists call it). I think a more rigid barrel shoots better across multiple loads. But long thin barrels can be tuned more easily. Not really relevant to most people for ARs, just an interesting topic

As he gets ready in the plane to jump out, he is told that he has a backup parachute in case the main one doesn't work. As he jumps out of the plane, the parachute doesn't open, so he tries to open the backup chute. That also fails to open. As he's falling down, he says to himself, " This is just great!

The barrel shortening and getting more accuracy thing is a real classic. That´s how the old Ruger mini-14s used to work. It sounds counter intuitive to get more accuracy from a shorter barrel but it´s because the barrel is bad to begin with. Long thin barrels with bad harmonics = garbage accuracy. The shortening takes the bad harmonics (vibration) out of it and you get more accuracy. Now guys please dont go shorten all your barrels... if you have a good barrel longer is better. The shortening for accuracy only works on some bad barrels.

Ok super good opportunity to talk about suppressors. What is the advantage of a 12ish inch 556 rifle with a can vs a 16 inch rifle? (assuming everything else the same) I presume you almost never shoot it without the can because you'd need to change the gas setting and it would be crazy loud. Since there isn't subsonic 555, the two are the same length, there's no flash on the 16" barrel with the right flash hider, and the 12" suppressed definitely isn't hearing safe, what's the benefit being suppressed?
@PolenarTactical6 ай бұрын
Haven't shot it a lot but even without the suppressor it's fine, as long as it has a good flashhider on. The suppressor in the video is a conventional one and it combined with overgassed WWSD it creates a lot of blowback gasses. So if i want to shoot it comfortably i have to dial the gas down quite substantially. So now im looking into getting a small flow through can that will hopefully work on the same gas setting as unsupressed. The advantages of a 12"rifle with a suppressor vs a 16" rifle with a suppressor are that it's shorter, lighter and more maneuverable. Downside is reduced velocity because of a shorter barrel. .223 can't be made hearing safe because the supersonic crack will always be too loud. Making it subsonic would be impossible to make it cycle and reduce the energy of the bullet to .22lr We use suppressors because they reduce the sound signature and muzzle blast - it makes it more pleasant to shoot and there is no need to have doubled up hearing protection when shooting indoors

@PolenarTactical6 ай бұрын
The barrel has a gas hole drilled into it at the position where the gas block sits. This hole was waaay too big on the european WWSD which meant it was sending a lot of high pressure gas back through the gas tube. If you shorten the barrel you shorten the length of barrel that the bullet travels after it passes the gas hole - and the hot gasses are only creating pressure in the gas system until the bullet leaves the barrel, then they are wented out of the muzzle. This time of bullet going pass the gas hole and still traveling in the barrel is called "dwell time". If you shorten the barrel, you reduce dwell time which reduces the time gasses are pushing through the system. So shortening the barrel will reduce gas

Here's an explanation for shorter barrel in case you run into a nerd - anything linear tends to suffer under harmonic vibration, in which, for rifle barrels, means flexing every which way, and by reducing the length, (which furthers the vibration, or flex), the rigidity is thus increased, reducing chances of groupings open wider henceforth. Because science. LOL.
@PolenarTactical7 ай бұрын
Yes, but... recently there has been a discussion about the barrel vibration and harmonics and how that's not a real thing. Bryan Litz and Hornady balisticians made some more or less scientific testing and according to them, barrels do not vibrate. Barrel harmonics was always just an unconfirmed theory but it exists for a reason - anyone that does some precision shooting and loads their own ammo will tell you that a lot of seemingly unimportant factors will have an effect on the accuracy of the barrel. Now if barrel harmonics really are a myth, then there has to be some other force or system behind this, to explain the results that we are seeing. Until we get a new theory, i still use the term "barrel harmonics" to explain this phenomenon. Anyway, i'm that nerd 😅
@seijiroukikuoka59757 ай бұрын
@@PolenarTactical Well, hard to dismiss the "flex" aspect of it, still, because under intense pressure - 55,000 psi for modern load 5.56 - the longer something is, the much more intense it will flex. If it doesn't flex, it'll break. "Vibration" can be substituted by pressure or force, but ultimately, further testing might just turn them out to be the same thing. Insofar as precision shooting goes, most precision barrels are bull barrels, so maybe added mass and material? Anyways, it goes on. One thing for sure - we need Firearms PhD as an actual research degree and department.

What he didn't tell you is that his "Commando setup" involves something more than shortening the rifle, if you know what I mean...

So did you turn the new crown of the barrel or just leave it all hacked off? 😂

We made a full video about that, coming soon. Afterwards i sent the barrel to a gunsmith to make a proper crown and threads on a lathe

I suppose the question is with such a short barrel and a suppressor would .300 blk make more sense?
