Videos tagged with Barrel Bending Myth

This video debunks the common myth that leaning a firearm against a wall can bend its barrel over time. Stephen Caleb from Brownells explains that modern firearm barrels are constructed from steel strong enough to withstand their own weight and typical storage conditions. Significant force is required to cause bending, a fact supported by gunsmithing practices where barrels are held in vises without damage. The myth likely originates from experiences with less durable items like BB guns.
