Todd,

Blair Castle is a great place to visit while in Scotland. It's a study in Scottish Castles,
weapons, and history.
They have a rifle that is
7 meters long which has only been fired once.
Thinking a longer barrel would equal better
acuracy at a greater distance was their reasoning
for building it.
Friction was left out of the
equation, so the bullet barely made it out of the
barrel.
