<p>A rifle barrel for realigning a projectile which is propelled through the barrel by gas pressure, the barrel comprising: a bore having a bore diameter through which a projectile may travel; rifling ridges within the bore; and at least one bore expansion chamber in the bore, wherein a diameter of the at least one bore expansion chamber is greater than the bore diameter, wherein a length of the at least one expansion chamber is smaller than an overall length of the projectile and greater than a contact length of the projectile. A process for projecting a projectile from a rifle barrel, the process comprising: increasing gas pressure behind the projectile in the rifle barrel, whereby the projectile is propelled through the rifle barrel; and passing a burst of gas around the projectile, whereby the projectile is aligned coaxially in the rifle barrel.</p> |
