I was reading how a handful of arabs who couldn't fly a Cessna managed to carry out the WTC attacks without any inside help.
I also read how Hitler started the Second World War by invading Poland.
I also read that there were definitely WMD in Iraq.
Moral of the story... Don't believe everything you read!
Sorry, but I can't see how on earth a moderator can ever "act" like a barrel extentsion. A barrel is rifled, a mod is not only un-rifled, it isn't even a solid tube. Once pressure are released which is exactly what a mod begins to allow to happen, the barrel has ended and the mod has started, the two can never be unified. It's just a physical impossibility. I admit I haven't read the links, the same as I wouldn't if you posted a link about how water was "definitely drier than sand". There is a view and a "proven" point for any point you can think of somewhere online, but some things just can't happen. Hell there are books about some bloke called God, a lot more books about it than you will have on Moderators being part of the barrel. Are we all in Church every Sunday? Well I ain't!
If that theory is true and proven, my FLO won't mind me cutting another 6 inches off my rifles, as the mod is actually a barrel extension and I could weld them on
If there are instances of higher velocity, IF, then there simply must be another explanation, as a moderator can't possibly contain the same pressure as the barrel, else it wouldn't be a mod, it would be a barrel.
Just my tuppence worth.
