Shotguns?

[Lou Girardin]

I thought his name was Paul Chase???? Oh well, maybe I was wrong!!!

Shot with a 357 - only a dick would face off a 357 with a chrome weight lifting bar - especially if he had recently fired a shot into the roof of a pub with a chrome barrelled shotgun which in the darkness inside a house at night could also look like a chrome weight lifting bar..

You are quite right, memory plays tricks when you're aged.

I don't know shit all about balistics but it seems to me that there would be an optimum rate of spin for each class of ammo and the weapons barrel should be rifled to generate that ideal rate of spin.

Eggsactly. That's why the rate of turn in rifling was changed when 5.56 Nato went from 55gr to 63gr bullets.

I've just heard through a Chinese whisper...from someone who knows someone who....etc - that the inocent bystander wasn't killed with a knife....but by a stray bullet.5 shots were fired,but not all found their intended target,one found an unintended target....

It sounds doubtful, the reports say the cops arrived after he was stabbed.

But if you use reverse thread, will the bullet fly backwards or will its range be significantly lowered?

Sure will, it's confusing as hell but the basic plot it that the bad guy comes back to life and ends up home with a coffee while the cops watch in horror as all the paperwork gets undone

Yep or visa versa. Now this is a confusing question and Im after a correct answer. Its not a real piss take but MDU has almost got it right........ in a freaky way

Just thought I'd put a different spin on it....

hmmm gyroscopic progression or whatevery would mean the rounds would drift in different directions if thats what you mean?

Im going to give you that, and some green stuff

would of been quicker if the question was less cryptic! have had some great discussions/arguments with the likes of the one at Navman who no longer presides here over the old gyroscopic stuffs

search for some pruddy diagrams

Where would the fun have been in that?

Or are you talking about the meason gun - with hypothetical bullets that go faster than the speed of light - thereby hitting the target before the trigger is pulled... (raising the question, what if you change you mind after the victim has been hit - do they undie?)

And shouldn't southern hemisphere firearms have counter clock-wise rifling and nothern hemisphere weapons have clock-wise rifling??

That only works with flushing toilets. Lol!!!
