Howdy all,
I have a question for the 1911-experts about a (theoretical!! I´ll never do this until I consider sleeping pills by the tons or jumping off a bridge an interesting option ) experiment:
Lets say we were able to build a frictionless or nearly frictionless 230 gr bullet.
What would happen if we fired this bullet with a standard hardball powder charge?
Please take into account that this bullet would seal the gasses just like a real bullet, so a comparison with shooting an undersized bullet is invalid.
My guess would be serious early unlocking (from lack of forward-pull on the barrel) and a really bad KABOOM.
Guessing right or wrong?
Carsten
