There are people joining the conversation late. I think these are things that Miller, Stan, and I all agree on. All are in reference to side by sides. I will quote it the next time someone chimes to argue something with me that I am not disputing.
1. The barrels converge at the muzzle because recoil moves the barrel/gun as the shot charge goes down the barrel. The convergence is needed so the gun will shoot where it was pointed at the time the shot charge started down the barrel.
2. As the shot charge goes down the right barrel the barrel/gun rotates to the right. It also rotates up. This necessitates both convergence of the barrels and that the axis of the bores point down relative to the axis of rib. Of course firing the left barrel gives left rotation, muzzle rise will be the same.
