So with all the crazy different attempted solutions to barrel cooling I've seen, why didn't this get more love? I mean forced air cooling is a proven concept. Like Ian pointed out, it's on all our computers. Did it just not work here? I feel like I'm missing half the story on this gun.

@ianc4901 4 жыл бұрын

Considering it only works when the gun is firing, probably not very well. The latent heat from inside the chamber would take time to be absorbed through the barrel, by the time that happened the fan would have stopped spinning. It would remove a small amount of heat if the gun was immediately reloaded and fired again but I doubt it would move enough air to make any difference overall. To be really effective it needs to spin very fast for more than a couple of seconds after the gun stops firing.

I was there one time, for about 6 hours, and was currently in the section dedicated to the Second World War, when the announcement came across the PA that the museum was closing. A couple of moments later a large security guard came by and said "Sir, the museum is now closed. You have to go". To which I responded "But I don't know how it ends. Do we win? WHO WINS!!!!". Luckily he got the joke I was escorted out.
