you're a little late to the party

Rolling airframe missiles also spin, and they're guided.

For control and stability. OP wants wings to extend range. Wings don't work so well for providing lift when spinning.

OK so let's say we go with a rolling airframe missile design. How could we make that smaller? Like a lot smaller? If the propulsion and drag from the gun into the air don't rip the wings right off, and it stabilizes in mid flight, would it work? Assuming we account for bullet drop over distance, and make sure the wings hold up, throw in a stabilization chip. They make chips that small its fucking unreal. The bullet cannot be any smaller than 12.7 or even .50 BMG or it wouldn't work. Hell a 20mm would work but we can go a little smaller I think.

Could you elaborate on how a piece of silicon makes it more stable? What does it do?

>>28265014
Not silicon. Straight up metal fins that would spiral out and catch so as to not rip off. They'd be thin of course, and would be rounded to the shape of the bullet itself.

SABOT rounds, im pretty sure some rifle somewhere uses them

Came here for this. 20 mm smoothbore ftw.

what is a helicopter you pleb

>>28265331
Did you take even a single moment to think about the difference between the way a bullet spins and the way helicopter blades spin?

>>28265331
If this wasn't bait then you should kill yourself

>>28265004
was waiting on that

Maybe if we crossbred a tank shell with a bullet we could have wings, though it might end up being a mule that can't be bred with other bullets.
