They don't need rifling to work. Makes the gun more accurate. Your not making a gun.
Because if you are then you wouldn't be asking this.
If you are building a rifle that is going to be accurate at all, you need rifling. If you plan on hitting a target from more than 10 paces you need rifling. Now if you are building a zip gun to take care of some "business" you won't need rifling because how close you have to get to take out the mark.
Rifling is like throwing a football in a spiral; it makes it go farther more accurately.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
