贝克是螺旋膛线,但旋得比较小,30英寸枪管1/4转,合120英寸1转,比现代标准低。据贝克说,当时选型时,1/2,3/4,1转都参与对比考虑,最后1/4转在塞膛故障率低情况下,基本保持了同等准确率,最后赢得设计评选。

The above quotation holds what, perhaps, may be the essence of that which we call a Baker rifle. That is the rifling twist rate "having only one quarter of a turn in the rifle". Baker's barrel was only 30 inches. In modern terminology, that equates to one turn in 120 inches - an extremely slow twist. Today, muzzleloading rifles are generally one in 60, or one in 72 inches, for patched round ball, and only one in 48 inches for rifles designed for slug projectiles. |
