    The movie was Lake Placid.The Sheriffs' big gun was what?

    I've tried search six ways from Sunday & haven't found it. IIRC it was a folding stocked breech loading single shot w/a bore about 2-2.5 inches & shot a HE projectile. Was it just a "movie gun" or something real?

    What's the temperature of a fired bullet?

    & how much heat energy is lost in flight? Say you had two fmj rounds.One a .357mag & the other a 7.62x51. How hot is the bullets surface as it leaves the muzzle,& how does air friction affect its cooling? &,if they are hot,why don't bullet holes cauterize themselves?

    Anybody have expierience w/an AR type pistol?

    For some reason,after seeing a guy @ the range w/one,I've an urge to get one of these.I've seen them listed w/multiple barrel lenghts available & also in 7.62 x 39. I almost think that (in .223 configuration) w/a Beta-C mag you could park it on the dining room table & call it a piece of...

    Is there an on-line source for PMP brand ammo?

    When I bought my Enfield from Dunhams a month ago I also bought a box of PMP 174grn .303 British.I was as impressed w/this ammo/brass as w/the Winchester I later bought @ the range.
