I believe the twist is the weakest, then damascus and laminate. If you think of the way they're made there's longer weld joints in the twist, not counting the final weld putting the ribbon togeather. Paul

Thanks again to Dr. Hause - let's just say I " feel " that a barrel with a bunch of small, short welds would be a stronger barrel. I shoot stub twist, pattern, and laminate barrel guns three times a week [ one or the other ] without worry. Paul
