haha, anyone know where I can get bullets for my pistol?

I fired the last one last year.. no idea where I could get more..

pistol barrel bore is about 1.9mm-2.0mm diameter



I still have the last empty shell that I fired, its tiny so couldn't get a photo of it on my cellphone.

would be choice to find some more bullets for it. The bullets it came with were real, little shells with gunpowder and a little lead tip.

Flobert rounds.

I have seen them for sale somewhere. Not cheap but they are out there. I'll have a look and try to find them for you.

2mm ? 3mm?

I would say 2mm, I tried to measure it and come up with 1.9mm so I'd say 2mm is right.

much appreciated mate, that would be fantastic! I had no idea where to start looking for them.

Wow, what a day. After being badgered by a mate for a long time, I tried the distinctly Anglo-saxon sport of Fullbore. Having not fired anything other than a .22 since becoming a civilian 8 years ago...I'VE STILL GOT IT!!! FUCKING YEEEEHAAAA! Shot a 41/50 open sights and 54/60 scoped. Thanks to the Karori Rifle Club and my awesome spotter. I will be back for the next season.

Interesting to see the new takedown Ruger 10/22. A very fast system to use but I wonder how it will retain accuracy over time. The Marlin papoose suffers a bit of "slop" I am led to believe.

most accurate "takedown" gun ive owned is a single shot H&R.
the scope is mounted to the barrel not the action ( theres half the issue solved )

the marlin papoose and the norinco variant, meh spray and pray...

thanks Chris, yea not too cheap but worth it. Its a cool little piece. thank you very much for digging that out for me, I did google flobert rounds but it was tough finding anything useful

now I know nothing about guns, can't get a license I don't think.. this is the only wee thing I've had. It looks like the hammer strikes from the top, the shell itself has a little bit sticking up which the hammer strikes down on.

as opposed to what I would think is a normal hammer that hits the shell from the rear and fires it.

am i making any sense?

Makes perfect sense. You have just described pinfire.

A small pin sticks out of on side. When the hammer strikes it it goes inside the case and strikes the primer. This in turn ignites the powder and drives the projectile out the barrel.

A lot of European guns of the 19th century were pinfire ( mostly France and Belgium). They ranged in size from these 2mm rounds to 15 mm rounds. The southern states of America were a big user of pinfire handguns in the US civil war as they shipped a lot of their supplies from Europe.

I have recently found a site the sells reloading equipment for pinfire rounds. Not this little one but for the larger rounds.

Glad I could help.

according to the powers that control, it does.

wrong. they're mentioned in the arms act but not classed as firearms.
