Abstract
A gun barrel that includes an inner barrel, an outer barrel, and a lattice structure. The lattice structure decreases the weight of the barrel while increasing the stiffness of the inner barrel by connecting the inner barrel to the outer barrel.
Claims18
A gun barrel, the barrel comprising:
- an inner barrel;
- an outer barrel;
- and
- a lattice structure which decreases the weight of the barrel while increasing the stiffness of the inner barrel by connecting the inner barrel to the outer barrel.
