peer agreement (net): +2lands & grooves Explanation: 'Trekken en velden' is volgens mij een term die betrekking heeft op de groeven die soms in de loop van een wapen worden aangebracht. Deze zorgen ervoor dat de kogel om zijn as draait, wat zijn baan voorspelbaarder maakt. In het Engels wordt deze techniek 'rifling' genoemd, en worden de 'trekken en velden' aangeduid als 'lands and grooves'. |
