How To Inspect A Gun Barrel with An Endoscope

Endoscopes are used in a wide range of applications including pipes, engines, car repairs, wall inspections, and viewing flower beds and large animal teeth.

As the saying goes, if there is a demand, there is a market. There is also a type of endoscope specially developed for observing gun barrels.

The gun barrel also requires long-term care and maintenance like any other item. The inside of the gun barrel is difficult to observe. To achieve visualization, an endoscope specially designed for observing the gun barrel is necessary. There are grooves inside the barrel. For the bullet to be fired with enough force, strong recoil and thrust are required. This also means that every time a bullet is fired, the barrel will be worn. In addition, guns, as special supplies, can protect personal safety in times of danger, and their maintenance is necessary and worthwhile.

There is no doubt that the barrel endoscope needs to be rigid and the inspection tube needs to be thin and long to make it easier to penetrate deep into the barrel. The focal length of the barrel endoscope needs to be very close because the barrel's diameter is small, and a closer focus will show a clearer pattern.

To determine the exact position inside the barrel, the scope tube will have a scale so you know how many inches the scope goes in. Turning the camera head is not applicable on the barrel endoscope, because there is no more space inside the barrel to complete this operation. To observe the situation inside the barrel from multiple angles, the endoscope tube will be designed with two front and side parts. A camera enables multi-angle observation without turning.

A video monitor is essential, either a specialized monitor, a mobile phone, or a computer, to present the images captured by the camera in front of us and save them as photos and videos for subsequent analysis.
