Wow, all this negativity! Over a mere $20?!? (actually just a $10 increase over past prices) $20 is the cost for me to drive to the grocery store. I'll happily pay if for an hour or so entertainment.

From the bore size it looks like it would kick like a mule, but we have no idea of the muzzle velocity. Even black powder should get those chunks o' lead up to 600 fps. It might also weigh more than a GP-100, so that would make recoil imperceptible.

Two Federal Courts with exact opposite rulings means it is destined to go to the Supreme Court.

For non-central nervous system hits incapacitation is largely caused by a quick drop in blood pressure. Hitting the heart does that quickly. For other areas the blood pressure drop will take a bit of time. Exit wounds seem to be advantageous as it would make two paths for the blood to exit the...

...or more energetic powder. We can alter the chemistry to produce higher pressures with the same case volume. Modern artillery spikes their powder with detonable explosives like RDX. That's largely how they get high muzzle velocity over artillery from 100 years ago.

Sure. I am looking for ways to improve pistol technology. Right now virtually every gun magazine publishes the latest and greatest pistol, all shiny on the cover, and then you read the ballistics and it is exactly the same as guns from 100 years ago. .45ACP, 9mm, etc still have the same...

This is basically what I was thinking. I wasn't thinking of cramming a rifle cartridge into a pistol, but something that would actually fit into a regular pistol and have increased downrange performance without blowing your wrist off.

Over the last couple of hundred years pistol performance has increased by increasing the pressure of the cartridge. A typical .45 cartridge is over double the pressure of a black powder gun, and 9mm is 50% higher than the .45 ACP. This is one of the reasons that modern pistol bullets can be...

.455 Webley...just because it is fun to lob a baseball of lead down range and wait a little while for it to impact the target.

Wyoming: No concealed permit required for in state...you can get a permit so you can carry out of state. No state background checks, waiting periods etc....private sales included. Open carry of course. I don't see how you can get much better than that.

:eek:

It appears from the slo-mo that he is firing each round the moment the action closes. In other words, even a full-auto sear could not fire any quicker.

.25 ACP. Because...why?

Wyoming: Open carry No concealed carry permit required No background check or waiting period on private sales. Basically the only gun control we have is Federally-imposed law, and there is movement afoot to ignore that via sanctuary law.

I think that the cat is already out of the bag simply because making an AR-15 lower receiver is now so easy. I have seen CNC machines for sale at gun shows complete with the AR-15 software ready to go. Insert aluminum block, press the button, come back after lunch and you have a new receiver...

There are already guns in space: Cosmonaut Survival Pistol Shotgun Considering the recent decision that pistol shotguns are legal if they were never long guns, this would be an interesting product for the commercial market.

Many guns have chamber pressures in excess of 4000psi. 14.7/ 4000 = 0.00367, or 0.367%. So firing a gun in space increases the difference between the chamber pressure and the outside by less than 1%. This is less than a +p round. Lubrication, cold welding, solar heating, etc. are much higher...

I am sure that there will be fighting. There always is on a frontier. However, I think that in space or on other planets the weapons will be larger autonomous robots or manned vehicles. Just like under the ocean, combat occurs there but I do not think many gunfights have occurred at 1000 feet...

The gun powders/propellants contain the oxidizer in it. For black powders it is mostly potassium nitrate. For the smokeless powders it is mostly nitrocellulose, picrates, nitrates and other explosives designed to deflagrate (subsonic burning) instead of detonate (supersonic burning). Sometimes...

I respectfully disagree. The Founders did indeed draw from the House of Lords, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. While they were revolutionaries, not rejectionaries; when an adversary actually had a good idea they adopted it rather than throw the baby out with the bathwater. The House...
