    Neat looking… But a pita to make and makes the seal between mini-ball + barrel worse, leaving you with more blow-by and less muzzle power.

      I’d pretty much guarantee this is just a decoration on the tip. You can see the seam where it attaches to the regular shaped barrel. It just shoots through the slightly larger attachment like a silencer or muzzlebrake.

        I wonder if anyone ever tried to develop rifling with irregularly shaped bullets

          Whitworth rifle is the only one with a non round rifled bore that I know of.

          Rifling being the grooves inside the barrel that make the bullet spin, I’m thinking not. I can’t imagine anything but a cylinder working.

            I thought maybe if you had a shaped barrel and then just twisted it, you could spiral a bullet without cutting groves. Not sure if you’d ever find that easier than conventional rifling but people have tried wackier shit

      Only if the entire barrel is that shape; perhaps it’s only the tip for the aesthetics? That would also make manufacturing easier.

    This is how you get out of that heart shaped box.
