TnE RIrLE-Many persons who are very expert in tn,
Of the rife know nothing Of the principle which
operates and would be at loss if asked why grooved
barrel throws q ball truer than smooth bore. The
reasons these:
In the first place, bullet is be cast perfectly
spherical One side is always heavier than the other and
the ball therefore from the right line Of proec
ton However hard it may be to prove this theoret-
cally practice demonstrates it. The smooth BORE
immovaby fixed twice loaded with the same charge Of
the same powder and with balls cast in the mould
will not plant them both In the spot at the
distance The rifle barrel is female screw which gives
the tightly driven ball rotary molten, that If the
bullet rather the slug, with twist Of the
screw another revolution corrects the error.
There are but three motions in rife balthe straight
forward the spiral and the downward, caused by the
power Of gravity rifle Of thirty to the pound drops its
ball about foot in hundred yards Rifles sighted,
therefore to meet this deviation On leaving the barrel
the ball above the line Of sight continually falling
in parabocal till it ntersecs IT, The point OF
intersection is called the point blank.
Who invented the rifle is not known It's principle was
known to the North American Indians before the discovery
OF the continent Their feathered sprally
