This video, presented by firearms expert Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, delves into the mechanics and historical application of gain twist (progressive twist) rifling in small arms. McCollum explains how this rifling technique, characterized by an increasing rate of twist from breech to muzzle, aims to improve bullet stability and prevent jacket separation, citing examples from early revolvers to modern high-powered handguns. The discussion highlights its use in specific firearms like the Carcano 1891 and S&W 460 X-frame, while also touching upon its effectiveness and historical context.
