Barrel profile videos

A look inside a rifled barrel provides information about its condition:

  • Contamination
  • Corrosion
  • Erosion
  • Deposits
  • Special events

IBoWV creates barrel profile videos and enables systematic examination of the condition of a rifled gun barrel based on automated weapon endoscopy.
