Ceramic Polymer Gun Barrel

However barrel chamber spring and all the rest of firing mechanism is metal.

Ceramic polymer gun barrel.

Porcelain gun is just ridiculous. But as others have said it is difficult to think of a legal use for such a thing. Such materials systems are hybrids of a ceramic. And of course standard pistol ammo is metallic both bullet and jacket.

A ceramic or plastic gun barrel would be a daunting engineering problem but probably do able if it doesn t need to survive more than one shot. Seahen 7 years ago the army may not have a use for a disposable gun but i bet the cia does. Cerakote is a polymer ceramic composite that can be customized in a myriad of colors offering excellent corrosion protection. In fact once it s applied the only way to remove brownells gun kote is to abrasive blast the part.

The potential use of ceramic tubes as gun barrels may be severely limited due to the difficulty in introducing the rifling on the inner diameter. Gun bluing black oxide steel bluing also known as gun bluing oxidizing and black passivating is a process by which the metal is given a rust resistant finish. Movie gun is most likely inspired by glock 17 which was one of the first guns to have polymer i e. Ceramic gun barrels have the potential to provide a significant increase in barrel life as well as reduction in weight for small caliber systems.

The glock is a series of polymer framed short recoil operated locked breech semi automatic pistols designed and produced by austrian manufacturer glock ges m b h the firearm entered austrian military and police service by 1982 after it was the top performer in reliability and safety tests. In salt solution testing it exceeded the 550 hour mark which is well over minimal military standards. A ceramic engine would require no cooling system and a ceramic gun barrel would melt the receiver and bolt to slag before the barrel failed. It can be applied to many different surfaces and is one of the toughest most durable finishes marketed today.

Ceramic has been researched for many years for use in engine blocks and gun barrels. Bluing guns are achieved by an electrochemical process in which the iron in steel is converted to magnetite or black oxide. Brownells gun kote is a durable second generation epoxy thermo set resin finish that will not break down peel or dissolve. One route to achieve this goal is via the development of ceramic matrix composite barrel liners with lightweight metal matrix composite jackets.

I d assume someone wanted to say ceramic. Duracoat firearms finishing guide and faq will get you started. The idea for both is ceramics ability to handle high heat and wear. It is resistant to all known gun solvents and thinners.
