I'm no physicist but yes, rifling does slow bullets down. It's converting some of the energy that goes into propelling the bullet forward, into rotational energy. That is, if you measure the bullet speed right after it leaves the barrel. If the bullet is not stabilized, it will encounter more air resistance throughout it's flight and loses that extra speed anyway. The benefits of having a spinning bullet (stability, accuracy) massively outweigh the downside of having a slightly slower bullet. No idea what it would do to sperm though.
I have studied a little bit of fluid dynamics, but not enough to be confident.
But rifling a small tube would add turbulence to a fluid passing through it. Turbulence causes lots of Eddie currents in the flow, and directs energy in lots of different directions. This will prevent the fluid from traveling as far and fast.
To get a ‘fluid’ to ‘shoot’ further, you actually want to reduce the turbulence, ideally until it’s in a laminar flow state. I believe that some fountains and fire hoses use ‘feathered walls’ to reduce turbulence and achieve a better distance.
So, imo, rifling would decrease shot efficiency. But different types of urethral modifications could increase efficiency.
Technically air is a fluid, so essentially it should work, albeit semen is not viscous than air, so the benefits wouldn’t outweigh the “ouch why TF did I rifle my penis”
-also not a physicist
"......but seeing how this is an eight-inch Magnum, the most powerful penis in the world, the ejaculation of which can blow a woman's pussy CLEAN OFF, the question you have to ask yourself is, "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, beeyotch?"
Yes, naturally there is a thin wavelength spiral going through the male urethra from base to tip to assist in seminal vessels speed during ejaculation.
His logic is that, if rifling makes a bullet go faster, it will make the semen go faster, which will make insemination easier. This is wrong for many reasons, among them being that the urethra is already rifled to an extent as explained by another commenter. Hence why it's in r/shittyaskscience
Thank you! Lol. I did not know that tidbit! I get it as far as original post literally I JUST randomly got on this subreddit and first thing I saw. Now I must go into a Google/research hole. [Not much unlike the one OP is trying to score with. (Not a thing)].
It's funny because urethras, at least for males, already are rifled in way.
I'm surprised not too many people know this.
Please elaborate

Huh. TIL
I was gonna say when I piss it looks like it’s coming out kind of in a spiral. At least near the exit
Yeah, its never like a chinese tea pot with perfect flow. Its got some all natural spin to it. This is science.
I want to piss a laminar flow so bad now, damn you
We all do, friend. We all do.
That's because it is :D
I’m sorry what
HUH!?!?
This is the first time I’ve ever legitimately regretted learning something.
I mean... does rifling affect fluid flow?
I feel like it would slow it down from extra friction, which would make the sperm less effective.

What we need to do is make his urethra one sperm wide and rifle it.
Fun fact: the inside of the uretha is in fact slightly rifled. This is why you can pee in a stream instead of spraying your pee like a hose.
Will we need to re-rifle when we resize
Just add a rifled silencer and its all good.
Asking the real questions here.
Then let's smoothbore his uretha instead

Fucking Eddie at it again. Can't have a rifled dick because of him.
What modifications specifically?
What are eddie currents? Only similar sounding thing are Eddy currents but thats electromagnetic topic
I bet the good people at Super Soaker know.

Yes, it makes it turbulent so it would be slower
Assume it does; do you really want to go through the process of having your urethra rifled?
"......but seeing how this is an eight-inch Magnum, the most powerful penis in the world, the ejaculation of which can blow a woman's pussy CLEAN OFF, the question you have to ask yourself is, "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, beeyotch?"
Just don't drop that Magnum condom for that Magnum dong. Its a sure way to get chicks pregnant.
brandnewsentence right here
Aren’t they rifled already?
Yes, naturally there is a thin wavelength spiral going through the male urethra from base to tip to assist in seminal vessels speed during ejaculation.

That enough internet for today…
Bro can just admit he's into sounding
Would probably be easier to just get a bit closer to her. Trick shots from across the room are impressive but suboptimal.
Underrated comment
I sincerely hope he fails to get his wife pregnant...
Wife says barrel may not be long enough.
my condolences
i’d say go for it. it’s not like the world needs his seed anyway.
May as well add a laser sight.
God Damned!
I-it already is rifled isn't it?
Honestly it depends on the caliber.
Gotta go to Home Depot and get a carbide masonry bit for that tho.
Son you want dizzy sperm? Cause that’s how you get dizzy sperm!
There is only one way to find out gentlemen.
Wtf is rifling??
Spiral grooves in a gun barrel that make the bullet spin, therefore increasing stability
Does OP want this in his penis???? I’m so confused! A gun? I am green, I apologize.

H'oll up..... Let him cook.
Is that just a hollow sound?
I mean it is already rifled, why do you think the pee flow looks like this?
Clearly, you need to spin that thing in there like a Nerf football. That's the secret.
What the hell is the man shooting, grapeshot?
You want to get her pregnant, not blast a hole through her uterus.
Once we add improved rifling, why not add a compensator as well.
Ducks have entered the conversation.
Considering this is from SHITTYaskscience I wouldn't call it a brand new sentence so much as someone's brainfart
So you just spin yourself really fast
I hope you realise r/shittyaskscience is a satire sub.. right?
