Dan_oz,
Granted we are probably talking about which angels dance best on the head of a pin but my thought was that the bluing might create a longer magnetic field than intended. Amplifying the Magnetospeed field...
How do you say bluing creates a magnetic field? How would such a field, if it existed, "amplify the Magnetospeed field"?
If it is another force on the projectile than it might act similar to gravity in spindrift..
What force is created? In which direction does it act? Where does the energy come from?
Like someone else said an interesting experiment..
Particle accelerators use magnetic fields to steer and accelerate really small things around the equivalent of a NASCAR track until they hit a target speed, then the send them down a runaway truck ramp to crash into something. I am suggesting we are talking about a really small amount of that same magnetic steering force...
What you are talking about is effectively a rail gun, or coil gun. You need to pump in considerable amounts of electrical energy to create a strong enough field to make them accelerate projectiles, as well as supplying this energy in a particularly specific way. Where does the energy come from to create a strong enough magnetic field to accelerate projectiles to any noticeable or measurable degree in your blued rifle?
