Hello dr Santos,

Suppose I had a rifled firearm, say an M1 Garand and I attached the butt firmly to the back wall of the inner part of a washing machine, so that when I turn the washing machine on, the rifle spins around its axis (we'll remove the door of the washing machine for this experiment). Then how fast would the washing machine have to spin in the opposite direction of the rifling so that the bullet comes out without spinning, as if fired from a smoothbore?

Thanks for the reply! It differed a bit from /u/nebulousmenace's calculation, probably due to details of rifling curve. But now I know in which order of magnitude I'll have to power up my washing machine.
