Most weapons systems that employ APFSDS (Armor Piercing, Fin Stabilised, Discarding Sabot) have a non-rifled barrel so that they are more effective as using an APFSDS round in a rifled barrel would convert some of its linear kinetic energy into rotational kinetic energy and thus, means it's ability to penetrate materials in reduced. If the SRS99D-S2 AM has a rifled barrel, it would seem somewhat illogical, though it is possible if it incorporated ball bearings to isolate the rotation. It would also however increase barrel wear. So would the SRS99D-S2 AM have a rifled or smoothbore barrel? [[User:SSG Bozo|SSG Bozo]] 00:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

-It has a fluted barrel.


A fluted barrel is just a method of decreasing weight of the barrel without it getting too hot. The weapon or to be precise, the barrel, being specifically designed to fire the APFSDS round, would probably not be rifled. As SSG Bozo said, the spin on the round would reduce effectiveness, so there would be no point in rifling the barrel, just to counteract the spin by adding ball bearings to the ammo. A needlessly complicated solutio for an easy problem.<br>
