Said the military was looking at it for wpns and it outclassed current coatings , same type of application in vacumn chamber charged with electric current. I bet that coating once it hits the civilian market will command a high price.
That's how DLC is applied & is likely what they are talking about.

diamond like coating? wonder how it compares to nickle boron? I am curious about the stuff, but don't have a feel how it stands up to bore heat, pressure, friction. SIG uses it but I guess not in a bore.
DLC as well as it's parent, chrome or titanium nitride applied via PVD (both vacuum chamber process) far exceed the wear resistance & reduced coefficient of friction of NiB.
