dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I'm not from the 'states so I don't know that much about guns, but wouldn't this cause the powder detonation to stress the casing in uneven ways, and thus be much harder to manufacture safely? As opposed to a cylindrical design where the force would be distributed evenly on the cross section?

Now I'm just a simple country physics 101 student, but this here mathematical hypothesis seems plausible to me.
