This project explores how different barrel fluting geometries affect heat dissipation and structural strength in firearms. Using SolidWorks simulations, six fluting designs were analyzed for cooling efficiency and stress resistance. The findings highlight optimal geometries for improved durability and performance, offering potential applications in firearm engineering and design.
