I have a project to do, and i need to understand why different guns, of the same barrel length, using the same type of ammunition, could have varying muzzle velocities.
If you would like to know, im comparing the M1903 Springfield and the M1 Garand which both have 24 inch barrels (as far as i know), and both fire .30-06 ammunition. To me, the only obvoius difference between the two firearms is that the M1903 is bolt action and the M1 is semi-automatic.
Any helpful answers would be appreciated.
