Err...first of all, sorry for the tables :P. Here is a list of PAR codes that you can use to hack in Front Mission and use any wanzer parts, including some that you cannot get without codes, like the Dragon Hand. If you're interested into making PAR codes, check this Guide about Exact Value Search and this Guide for Comparitive Search.

If you're using ZSNES, go to the cheats, then add codes option. Unless it's otherwise stated, input those codes while you're inside town. Then go to the Setup and check if the weapon showed up. Note that many of these are dummied equipment that you cannot use normally (Like equipping items as weapons).

Kill any enemy with less than 256 HP with one shot (add the 3 codes separated): 7e06e400, 7e06e600, 7ea73300. These only work in your turn during missions (you should disable them after the mission is complete; they have some glitches). It also works for destroying other body parts. You'll have to shoot a couple of time if it has more than 256 HP (Machine gun helps).

Mir Orlen Body: 7ED00A01 (This is a rather buggy, but cool code. You won't show up on the status screen to choose the wanzers and you will look like Driscoll's Mir Orlen, except that you're on the other side and you can't see yourself clearly).

Note that there are many buggy parts like the Mir Orlen that you aren't supposed to access. They'll look weird on the status screen when you equip them and sometimes you might not be able to choose pilots equipped with those parts on Colloseum battles; For those parts, you can still use them on missions where your characters forcefully show up (i.e. Lloyd always show up, you can't just not choose him), but they'll still look buggy on the battle screen.

Here are the tables for the equipment in the game. You can access the Dragon Hand and Harpoon Bolt with these (and they're quite good). It's very simple: Add the value for the weapon you desire. The "xx" is the number of weapons you desire. For example, if you want 2 Harpoon bolts, add 7ED0C602 to the codes in ZSNES. By the way, if you want infinite Ziege Guns, add 7ED042xx (You still have to add a number for the "xx", but it's infinite).

And the tables for skills are here. The first table has the value for each pilot's skill. The second has the value of the skills. Choose your skill and put it in the place of the "xx" in the pilot's skill. Unfortunately, the skills won't show up in the set up section (Well, not ALL of them) and some characters like Ralph have only 2 Skill slots. You'll have to go to the Colloseum and test them.

If this is your very first AR-15, I suggest a lightweight profile with chrome lining. This will serve you well in 90% of situations, and gives you the opportunity to grow your capabilities in many directions.

More than any other component, the barrel affects accuracy, reliability, and handling of your weapon. It is fair to say it is the most important component you select when building your AR-15, and you build the rest of the rifle in support of the barrel.

I want you to understand that the ultra-specialized configurations only make a significant difference in the hands of highly practiced shooters. A master-class level competitor using a bone stock AR-15 will still trounce a novice equipped with a fully custom top-end match rifle.

Longer barrels generally correspond to lower pressures inside of the rifle. That, in turn, increases the longevity of the bolt, springs, and other components. The price for these benefits is increased weight and more cumbersome handling.

A bullet reaches its maximum velocity as it exits the barrel. As soon as it exits, gravity and aerodynamic drag start doing their thing. A higher starting velocity means that the bullet drops less for given distance than a bullet starting at a slower speed.

For you, this means that you could land a hit with less holding over the target or adjustment to the sights. Yes, choosing a different bullet with better aerodynamics might have a similar effect, but this is an article about barrels and not ammo selection.

Daniel Watters, who I leaned on heavily for the SCHV series, did an outstanding job assembling the history. The short version of the research is that a lighter, faster bullet could be just as effective as a larger bullet up to realistic combat ranges.

Later, in 1998, the 5th Special Forces Group resurrected the concept and started circulating it around SOCOM. The concept finally rose to prominence when the GWOT started ramping up in the early 2000s. The Navy signed on and dubbed it the Mk12 program.

You might remember from chemistry classes way back in the day that metal expands as it heats. For rifle barrels, this expansion negatively affects the accuracy of a barrel. So the faster it heats up, the quicker your accuracy potential starts dropping.

Skinny barrels heat up faster, so you expect their accuracy to drop off faster. But they also cool down quicker. Heavy barrels are slower to heat, so they retain their accuracy longer, but are also slower to cool down.

The compromise between weight and balance comes down to how easy you want the rifle to carry, how quickly you want to bring it to a target, how well it settles in your hands for precision shooting, and how well handles heat.

Any barrel might last through many thousands more rounds shot at a slow cadence than it will doing regular mag dumps. This heat management issue is why you see such a wide discrepancy between the mechanical cyclic rate of an AR-15 (700-800 rounds per minute) and the sustained rate of fire (12-15 rounds per minute, or about one shot every 4 to 5 seconds). The sustained rate of fire is the heat management tipping point where the weapon could sustain that rate of fire indefinitely without overheating.

While the higher carbon content of 4150 steel does make it stronger at the edges of performance, the average person will probably never push their barrel to that limit. This is why some manufacturers use 4140 steel as a cost saving measure.

The third blend in this spec includes Vanadium. This blend is called Chrome Moly Vanadium, or 4150 CMV. You may also see it called 41V45 steel. The vanadium in this alloy helps promote a finer grain structure, wear resistance, and strength.

Speaking of finishes inside the bore, another factor is protective linings. Since stainless barrels have a much higher amount of chromium in their chemical composition, upwards of 12% compared to about 1% in chrome moly barrels, they do not need any additional coatings or treatments to resist corrosion. This is important because the application of chrome lining to rifle barrels historically meant that the bore surface became uneven and inconsistent compared to a bare metal finish. These inconsistencies disturbed the bullet and reduced accuracy.

What is fatigue? For barrels, it comes from extreme temperatures. That could mean very cold environments, very high rates of fire (and therefore heat), or some combination of the two. The best way to prevent this fatigue to increase the barrel thickness and avoid wild temperatures.

410 is harder and more durable, owing to its lower sulfur content. The trade-off is that without the extra sulfur, the barrel becomes more brittle in temperatures below freezing. To compensate for temper embrittlement, the walls of the barrel must be thicker.

The temper embrittlement issue in steels with extra sulfer isn't unique to stainless barrels. If you look at the MIL-B-11595E specification above, you might notice the middle column labeled as Resulfurized 4150. At .05% to .09%, it has more sulfur than 410 stainless steel (.04%) and is also at risk for temper embrittlement. The same applies to 4140 steels. The key factor in overcoming this issue is how the barrel was tempered by the manufacturer.

Nitriding is a surface conversion process whereby manufacturers submerge the barrel in a nitrogen-sodium solution and heat to a high temperature, usually between 750 and 1200 degrees. Remember this temperature for later.

If you absolutely need better than 1 MOA accuracy, and you only plan to feed it quality match ammunition, then go ahead and get a stainless barrel. If you live where it gets below freezing, stick to 416r stainless.

There are three methods that manufacturers use to form the rifling of a barrel: cutting, button rifling, and hammer forging. Each of these has pros and cons and the balance is between how long it takes, the consistency of the end result, and how much stress the steel undergoes during the process.

This is a fast way to mass produce very consistent rifle barrels. It has a side benefit of creating a metal grain compression pattern and a slightly stronger barrel. The downside, of course, is that it puts a very high amount of stress on the barrel steel.

This video demonstrates what the process looks like. It comes from GFM Machine, which produces most of the hammer forging machines in the world. One of the original engineers who designed the process founded the company.

To summarize the process, stress relief means heating the barrel up to about 1000 degrees. This helps removes stresses that built up during the rifling process. This also results in a slight softening of the steel. Of note, cut rifled barres do not require this process, which means they are slightly harder than other finished barrels.

You may have heard that you should tie the twist rate to the weight of the bullet you want to shoot. Technically, that is wrong. If you want the long and detailed version, check out my write up on twist rates.

Some people speculate that you can over-stabilize a bullet if you fire it through a barrel with too fast a twist rate. Generally, that is wrong. But, if you fire thin jacketed lightweight bullets or smaller cast lead ones, you could see some issues with high RPMs causing the bullet to come apart during flight.

Ballistician Bryan Litz does point out that there is an optimum twist rate for maximum accuracy, though. If you reference the chart I put together above for twist rates, bullets do best when the stabilization factor is between 1.5 and 2.0.
