That study was very interesting but it was approached differently then the way I had in mind. Actually his way was much simplier in proving the idea that damascus barrels are every bit as good as fluid steel. Not suprisingly fluid steel failed in brittle failure compared to damascus. I on the other hand wish to find the material properties of both metals at various strain rates, I have the equipment down at school to do this. Then use this data to make a Dynamic Finite Element Model on the computer. I have been planing on buying the parker story for some years but every time I have the money something comes up. Does anyone know the issue of Double Gun Journal the study was in so I can order it from them? And no guy I know wears red shoes but yes some of my relatives are rather excentric, but everyone has them in their family.
