Horse apple

Horseapple is aptly named. But, I agree. Life is too short to be serious all the time!

Possible effect on accuracy depending on which hemisphere you are in.

 

[murphydog]

I think it means when you fire it, the bullet hits the barrel, reverses direction and winds up back in the mouth of the fired case.

Possibly if you're talking about toilet bowl ballistics

I laughed the first time I saw the name Horseapple so please proceed with the humor.

All you need is a left handed bullet!

I need one'a those. With the cost of ammo, and not reloading myself, this would be a dream come true.

 

[BigBill]

Bullets that reverse direction sounds like a patent?

 

[grizz700]

It was my understanding that the reverse rifling was a catalog item for the Australian market. Did not realize it was a joke.

 

[BigBill]

The drain in the sink does change direction from clockwise to counter clockwise depending on where we are on the planet? Lol

All you need is a left handed bullet!

Is that similar to a left handed monkey wrench?

Sheetmetal stretchers? We got all the new kids on the job. The guy in the tool crib would laugh. The good old days building CNC machines. I miss those times.

 

[Babysitr]

do you have a brother named "Road" ?

 

[mikerjf]

Why is Ned using his right fist to signify Left power? Typical leftist...

 

[Walter Rego]

Well what if it were a "Smolt", made with an Anaconda .44 Mag barrel like one of the custom revolvers that were somewhat popular back in the 1970's & '80's where people put Colt barrels on S&W frames ?

Many if not most Colt barrels have left hand twist rifling, which supposedly help keep their barrels tight in the frames without the use of a pin.

And have any of you guys ever seen a TV show where some forensic or ballistics expert declares upon looking at a bullet recovered from a crime scene "it was shot from a Colt, I can tell from the left hand rifling" ?

 

[stmry]

Now, that's a Twist!!!

 

[stansdds]

LOL!!! Nice to see some humor these days.

That would give me yet another excuse for my misses!

 

[jcelect]

Maybe left hand twist would make this thing easier to shoot!
