Hi Vana, thnx for sharing your thoughts. I think for small scale (helical) groves would definitely be easier then fins. Maybe a combination of spinning airflow and groves on the pellet/slug. Also, this is just for fun, as I'm fascinated with how airguns work. Its truly a mechanical art piece in...

Hi Marty, great suggestion, I like this

Hi Peashooter, thnx for sharing you're insights. You are correct, molding the slug that precisely would be hard, didn't think about that. Also this is a good alternative, thnx for your suggestion.

Hi Alan, thnx for sharing your thoughts. I was thinking more along the lines of using the "no-slip" condition to impart the rotational force onto the pellet/slug, so a longer smooth surface (slug) is more ideal. Similar to how a tesla turbine works (bladeless turbine), with smooth discs, evenly...

Hi peeps, A newbie here. Over the past few months I've been researching pcp air rifles with the goal to design and make 1 (for) myself. During this process, it got me thinking of alternative methods to achieve spin stabilization of the pellet/slug other then rifling the barrel or making a...
