In the Sunrise Basic Course, Barrel rolls are a "graduation" level maneuver: successful demonstration requires thorough mastery of basic rolling and looping skills.
This has occurred exclusively because barrel rolls are difficult to judge externally and have therefore been eliminated as a competition maneuver at every level.
Despite this apparent disadvantage, barrel rolls remain one of the most pleasant maneuvers in the basic aerobatic repertoire.

 High-G Barrel Roll   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
If he attempts to follow the barrel roll, he will probably end up high and wide of the defender who can then turn in towards him, forcing him down and in front.
But woe betide the defender who attempts a barrel roll in front of a slowly closing attacker who will follow him through the maneuver, ending on his tail in easy gun range.
The High G Barrel Roll is a difficult maneuver to execute successfully, and is in fact easy for the attacker to counter.

 FlightSim.Com Feature: Do A Barrel Roll In November 707
The easiest way of describing the maneuver is to imagine you have a very large old-fashioned wooden barrel ahead of you in the sky and a mission to fly a spiral path around it from one end to the other with the cockpit always pointing towards the center line of the barrel.
Barrel rolls can be short and fat, or long and thin, or any flavor in between.
Fat barrels can be thought of as stretched out loops; they need you to pull more G to get the plane around, whereas thin barrels are better for planes which lack pizazz in the pitch department, but have plenty of speed in hand, which is what we have here.

 The Barrel Roll Attack
This maneuvre differs from the defensive high-g barrel roll in that a great loss of speed to force an attacking fighter to overshoot is not necessary.
Closely resembling the rollaway, the barrel roll attack is used to alter the angel of approach to the defender without losing a lot of speed.
The counter to a well executed barrel roll attack is for the defender to dive away and increase speed.

 Skate a Barrel Roll - Virtual lesson
I know that a barrel roll is done in a circle, so if you're wondering why I'm suggesting to go in a straight line it's because I found this was a really good way to get into the barrel roll.
Barrel roll footwork large version (1.7MB) of the barrel roll practice in a straight line, and a barrel roll footwork smaller version (752KB).
Another way to look at the barrel roll is to view each foot as skating short straight lines, and to place each of those short straight lines as a tangent to the circle you're skating around.

The barrel roll is designed to protect data against bad recording tracks.
Within each head group of 8 tracks, or in some modes, within a pair of head groups, the data for each ``track'' is actually recorded first on it's assigned track, then the next frame (20,000 data bits) is recorded on the next track, and the next frame on the next track and so forth.
In Dec 2000 the definition of barrel rolling has been updated to reflect the discovery that the current (VLBA) practice is time reversed with respect to the documentation.

 The Barrel Roll
The Barrel Roll is very similar to the lag roll, but it is defensive in nature.
The barrel roll is defensive because its goal is to force the overshoot of an attacker who is closing fast.
So if you rolled 45 to the right and pulled up into the start of a yoyo, you then roll 90 degrees (45 until you are level, and 45 more to get set for a left yoyo) and pull (just like a yoyo) in the opposite direction.

 Barrel Roll - August 2006
The air war in northern Laos was designated “Barrel Roll.” When the operations there peaked in 1969, US airmen were flying 300 strike sorties a day.
Barrel Roll differed from the fighting elsewhere in the theater in almost every respect and to such an extent that it effectively amounted to a separate war.
There were fewer total sorties flown, but Barrel Roll continued to get a significant share of them until 1972, when the airpower effort was redirected to respond to North Vietnam’s “Easter invasion.” With the resumption of bombing of North Vietnam in April 1972, operations in northern Laos diminished.

From the perspective of achieving objectives, BARREL ROLL was an effective air campaign in support of national, strategic, and operational objectives in SEA.
Relevant lessons of BARREL ROLL are the central control of airpower, the employment of airpower in an undeveloped country, and use of airpower in unconventional combat.

 Barrel Roll Offensive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After a short but intense artillery barrage, the barrels, led by Lieutenant Colonel Irving Morrell, charged forward and ripped a wide hole in the Confederate line, forcing the Confederates to fall back and retreat toward the Nashville line, where the offensive ended and resettled into trench warfare.
He arranged the barrels as he thought fit, lying about it to Chief of Staff Leonard Wood and even President Theodore Roosevelt, claiming that he was making the formation order of operations up to confuse alleged Confederate spies.
When the Barrel Roll Offensive (named so after a popular tourist spot in Niagara Falls) proved wildly successful, the War Department quietly changed their barrel doctrine.

 Barrel roll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A barrel roll is when an object (usually an airplane or roller coaster) makes a complete rotation on its longitudinal axis while approximately maintaining its original direction.
In aviation a barrel roll attack is a maneuver that improves the attacker's offensive position and prevents the attacker from overshooting.
Finally the attacker completes the roll so he is level again and turns in behind the defender.

 How do you barrel roll a Soarstar? - RC Groups
As the plane rolls inverted, give full down elevator to keep the nose up, and let the elevator go back to neutral as you come around right side up again.
It's true that the polyhedral wing doesn't want to roll, but Soarstar (or Wingo with a comparable gear drive) is so overpowered for its weight that you can force it to do it without much trouble.
Barrel variety but it will do it (that's what we need a plane that flies like the Soarstar, but snap rolls).

The 707 roll is the classic example brought up, though one should keep in mind that there have also been many instances of Russian aircraft performing barrel rolls, often at airshows.
The plane rolled twice in a dive and only recovered when the gear was retracted as a last effort to save the plane and about 80 people.
The BN 707 crash was reportly due to a DUTCH ROLL maneuver, not a barrel roll.

This means that the strain on the airframe is minimal and the plane is subjected to around one gee towards the bottom of the plane all the way through.
Since you can do a barrel roll with one gee loading towards the floor the whole way through, that sounds exactly right.
Somehow, one of the leading edge slats "mysteriously" began hanging out, enough to create a rolling action and before Gibson knew it, he was commanding a transonic 727 descending in excess of 10,000 fpm.

 HistoryLink Essay: Boeing prototype jet performs dramatic roll over Lake Washington on August 7, 1955.
On August 7, 1955, Alvin M. "Tex" Johnston stuns the crowd at the Seafair Gold Cup hydroplane race on Lake Washington by barrel (or aileron) rolling the prototype Dash-80, the precursor to the Boeing 707, thus launching the era of the modern commercial jet.
However, unlike a conventional aileron, or snap, roll, Johnston maintained positive gravity through the maneuver.) Even Boeing President William Allen is taken by surprise as he escorts potential customers who are seeing the jet for the first time.
Note: The designation of Johnston's maneuver as a barrel or aileron roll remains a source of ongoing discussion among pilots and engineers.

 WGP please read how to solve barrel roll. - PbNation
MY biggest peave about autocockers is the barrel roll though which is true, you can use a tight barrel/ball bore match but it has to be good consistent paint or youll get chops.
The reason your idea is impractical is the fact that the ball would be fired and then enter the barrel, instead of being fired when it is in the barrel.
This means if there is any mismatch at all between the bore and the breech, the ball would meet it with high pressure behind it, instead of the comparitively low force of a closing bolt.

 A Barrel Roll while Pouring Iced Tea (by Jeremy Zawodny)

He did the roll over Lake Washington during a break in the action of the Seafair hydroplane races which, especially back then, seemed to be attended by most of the populace of Seattle.
The topper was his rollout, the Shrike exited the runmway, and rolled to the ramp and stopped exactly at the chocks which he had left at the start of the whole routine, props not still unturned!!!
