What other guns were designed solely around a unique barrel?

>>64954753your mom's PUSSSAAAYYYYYYY was designed around MY UNIQUE BARREL.Also the 2A42.
>>64954753The AR-10 that was used in Army testing had a unique composite barrel (rather than steel), it is the reason the gun performed worse than the FAL and the M14. Yes, I am aware that the M14 was going to be chosen anyway due to Army corruption.

>>64954753THE MIGHTY YAMATO!
>>64954753The MG 42 was built around a new and unique (at the time) cold forged polygonal barrel. It kept costs way down on replacement barrels which helped make the high firing rate less of an issue.
>>64954753All those wildcat squeeze bores from the 50s and 60s. .12-.20 cal that were just a barrel swap for .22lr. Varminters liked them in Australia since they increased effective range massively and had better terminal effects. Also the German AT squeeze bores in ww2.
