peer agreement (net): +1| mit zehn Zügen und Rechtsdrall with ten grooves and right twist Explanation: Search this page for "grooves": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifling This image is quite revealing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifling#/media/File:Hammer_for... The number of chambers is irrelevant. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2022-08-27 20:56:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- with right(-handed) twist = with clockwise spin https://www.americanhunter.org/content/why-is-rifling-twist-... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2022-08-28 11:15:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Context: "Es geht um Morde im Hamburger Milieu in den 1980er Jahren." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_firearm_examination#E... The three main class characteristics of all bullets are the lands and grooves, the caliber of the bullet, and the rifling twist. All three can be tied directly to the type of barrel that was used to fire the bullet. The lands and grooves of barrel are the bumps and valleys created when the rifling is created. The caliber is the diameter of the barrel. The twist is the direction of the striations left by the barrel's rifling, clockwise (right-handed) or counterclockwise (left-handed). Re 'chambers': The loading capacity of the revolving cylinder is not a factor in the forensic examination of a bullet found at the crime scene. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 45 mins (2022-08-28 13:53:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- German term or phrase: Pistole mit zehn Zügen und Rechtsdrall Der Arminius-Revolver hat die Besonderheit, dass er zehn Züge hat (und nicht sechs wie andere Pistolen) und die Kugel mit Rechtsdrall abfeuert. >>> The special characteristics of the Arminius revolver are its right-hand (clockwise) rifling with ten grooves and lands rather than the standard six. |
