You'd hafta shoot atleast 120 rounds through an AR rapid fire to get a cook off. Thats $60 in ammo aint nobody can afford that.
As the barrel heats, it expands, making the bore smaller in diameter than a cool one, therefore increasing the pressure behind the bullet to push it out, as stated above.
Wrong! As a barrel heats up the bore expands.
No, your wrong. When you have one of them dougnut shaped pool floaties this summer. Put normal air in it like you would to use it. Measure the "bore" diameter. Now blow it up more and measure again. It expands inward making the diameter smaller. The expansion occurs evenly to both inside and outside of the steel. Don't let the fact that it's a closed circle confuse.

So you're saying that ID and OD get larger and that all expansion is outward? What's the physics behind no ID expansion? When driving in keys or knocking out old ones on farm machinery, we do heat the hole to drive them in or out easier, so maybe I am wrong, it would not be the first time. This would mean that a solid cylindrical object, when heated, can only expand outward, making its diameter larger. That makes sense. Where as a tube, when heated should want to do the same on the outside, but you're saying it doesn't expand inward at all, that it contracts.........the inside movement follows the outside?
