This video explains firearm twist rate, detailing how it affects projectile stability and effective range. It contrasts modern AR-15 twist rates (1:7, 1:8, 1:9) with historical firearms like the smoothbore Brown Bess Musket and the rifled Pennsylvania/Kentucky Rifle. Heavier or longer projectiles generally require a faster twist rate for optimal stabilization.
