  2. Autofrettage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autofrettage

    The technique is commonly used in manufacture of high-pressure pump cylinders, warship and gun barrels, and fuel injection systems for diesel engines. Due to work-hardening process it also enhances wear life of the barrel marginally. While autofrettage will induce some work hardening, that is not the primary mechanism of strengthening.

  3. Bore evacuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bore_evacuator

    By creating a pressure differential in the barrel after the shell leaves, the bore evacuator causes most of the propellant gases and combustion residues to exit via the muzzle. Thus, when the breech opens for reloading, those gases and residues do not escape into the crew compartment and pose a hazard to the gun crew. [1]
