I mean besides those obviously faked videos that showed an aluminium airplane MAGICALLY fly through a concrete and steel skyscraper? Or can we just chalk this up as another Illuminati hoax like the Moon Landings?
I wouldn't even bother making anything like that unless it was just for hanging on the wall in a display caseWhy on earth would you want to make a barrel out of iron or a soft metal? You're playing with fire, the rifling would wear out way too fast, and the barrel would possibly rupture due to the heavy amount of pressure used by that type of ammunition (high grain)The number of rounds you could fire out of that type of barrel would be subjective to the metal type, and round typeAre you using jacketed rounds? That would effect the lifespanWould be a total waste of time, and turn an otherwise fine firearm into a worthless piece of crap.
Iron MIGHT last a few hundred rounds but the rifling and the throat will erode very quickly Aluminum and bronze could possibly be made safe to handle the pressures but would look like a sewer pipe with a needle sized hole down the middle to do it and I wouldn't bet on them holding any of the rifling more then maybe 50 shotsCopper, Silver Gold? Not a chance to make one that would actually have a properly dimensioned chamber and bore after the first round firedThese metals are far too soft to handle 60K PSI pressures with out deforming.
Forget about silver or goldToo soft to contain the pressure of the fired round, it would expand or rupture with the first few shotsCopper and aluminum are not much better, by the time you built up a barrel that would be rigid enough to stay on target, the barrel would be hugeThe first guns were made with iron and bronze barrelsThey were thick, heavy and smooth boreWhile they would last longer than the others, they would never approach the accuracy or long lasting qualities of a modern steel barrel.
I suggest you ask the relatives of the victims on those planesYou may get an answer that you wont like
