I just watched a doco on machine guns. Best was the Yank A10 Warthog plane that fires 30mm rounds, can empty its mag of 4200 rounds in 12 secs!
Each round is about300 mm long & the projectile weighs 0.5 kg.Yeeehaaaaa

If you'd like to watch some real fire power being unleashed get yourself onto You Tube and search for the GAU-8 videos.

You'll be amazed.

Shit, those Mosin-Nagants look hideous, don't they. Excellent score, dude. Mine lacked the scope, just had the old iron sights.

So do I. They just lack the "cosmetic refinements" of other weapons. Starkly functional, that's them.

Yea, just gotta love all the wood on them!

that's the best thing about old guns, the wood goes all the way up, not 1/2 way like the guns of today!

Hehehe:

From the last quarter of the 19th Century through the first quarter of the 20th Century, standard revolver cartridges such as the .45 Long Colt (the "world's most powerful revolver cartridge" at that time) and the relatively flat shooting .38 Special High Speed (loaded to maximum average pressures--MAP--up to about 20,000 psi) were considered to be all that was required for any handgun purpose afield. But by the mid-1920s game had gotten harder to kill and the standard velocity handgun cartridges were no longer sufficient for the task, even at very close range.

Or just perhaps modern hunters are getting sloppy with bullet placement and stalking skills. I somewhat doubt that natural selection is working fast enough to produce more-bulletproff animals since the 1920s.

Given that so many handgunners in the USA seem to need to spend a fortune "accurizing" the weapons with aftermarket add-ons and smithing, I submit that they really ought to get down to the range more often and hone their shooting skills and then start working on "pressure shooting" so that their accuracy doesn't go to shit when "Buck Fever" kicks in out in the field.

So much better making a bullet so huge that they can kill the deer by shooting it in the hoof.

Who's heard of 'howda pistols'?

Carried in the howda ( the wicker-basket thingy on the back of an elephant wot ya ride in)when tiger hunting 'back in the day' in case one of the occupants only winged a tiger and it got a tad scratchy and decided to make a meal of the howda occupants.

These pistols were kept handy to dissuade the said limpy tiger from climbing the elephants arse to get to the howda.

A lot were 577 Snyder calibre, most double-barrel but a few were four barreled, I guess some tigers could take a bit of 'dissuading' eh?
