Torque is the tendency of a force vector to rotate an object about some axis[1] (or fulcrum or pivot). Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist.
My question is simple. Do Handguns torque under the load of firing and does this twist in the axis effect the bullet....? Think about it. Does a heavier bullet that causes more recoil create more torque then a lighter weight bullet?
And by extension, does this effect bullet placement down range? And would it tend to create more or less, windage or elevation...?
