Can you give technical information?
Smoothbore give wider range of shells and rockets to be fired while rifled gun can fire just some types specific for rifled...
means smoothbore=rifled rounds+more
while rifled=just rifled rounds...
smooth bore gives high muzzle velocity to shells and speed and penetrating power also increase of shells..
Rifled gives high accuracy...
Rifles examples=Arjun,Challenger etc
Smoith bore=M1 Abrahams,Al-Khalid etc..
The disadvatages of rifling a barrel is that
it makes it slightly harder to clean and it
makes it much harder to load a projectile
from the muzzle(the end the shot comes
out of) end (try ramming a shot into a
rifled muzzleloading rifle and you'll see
exactly what I mean).One of the reasons
that rifles were not used much during the
revolutionary war because it took far
longer to reload a rifle then a musket. Of
course, this is rather a moot point since
most (if not all)military arms have been
breechloaded(loaded from the trigger
end of the rifle) since the mid 1800's.
Projectiles fired from modern
smoothbores are fin-stabilized, which
provides the same benefits to accuracy as
the spin imparted by rifling.
so in present day warfare smoth bore is more good then rifled well if you are shooting a movie and you had to shot a scene of tank firing a round and you need that round to spin than rifled gun is necessary...
