    Oooh errr. It's one thing to stock up on .308 for when the fuzzy-wuzzies come over the hill, but this is what you want when they come in APCs.

    That suppressor does look as though it would barely be useful to slow the gas from a .223, let alone a .50BMG.

    It's very 'tactical', though.

    Come to think of it, these are all very frightening terrrr-rist type guns and should be instantly banned, with an exemption for anything that has a friendly-looking walnut stock.

    But note the first line on the page

    "SSK has non Destructive Device exemption for a 14.5 MM (.585") cartridge."

    If this isnt a destructive device I dont know what is.

    I second that. If its not destructive, I hope it does something else spectacular

    Hehe, I remember that video. Reminds me of the quote, "Keep your finger off the trigger Chief".

    Although I feel Im professinal enough to own a destructive device, depends on if the define professinal as mature?

    What pistols were you using? Purpose-made target pistols?

    No I just dont get on with the 9mm.

    Suppose because I cut my teeth on an AMT Harballer in .45acp and got used to the lesser velocity. This pistol was worked into one very accurate hand gun. 2lb trigger pull, slide to frame fit, dwyer group gripper, new barrel, pacmeyer grips, ambi slide release, reprofiled feeding ramp, etc etc etc. Very nice to shoot. Accurate and easy to carry.

    9mm seems to twist in my hand rather than jump. Personal preference, but I just dont like it.

    Not saying that I cant use one though.

    Pissed off I missed tonights conversation!!!!

    BTW I have two early German anti-tank rifle bullets, about 12.7mm and in a long tapered rimmed cartridge about 70+mm long, can't remember exact designation but looked up the internet on them - man, ya gotta see the rifle - it has a wooden stock and all, looks like a giant Model 98 but single shot.
    NOT popular with the troops due to recoil.

    British had something similar.

    Boyes anti tank rifle in .55 caliber. designed to penetrate 1" of steel. Shame was that by WW2 the tanks were much thicker than that.

    Fired one a couple of months ago. What a real buzz.

    After carefully reading of this site I posted. Carefull in that I had to stop drooling on the keyboard.

    I came across this remark.

    "Our biggest bolt gun fires a 3600 grain 95 caliber bullet from a highly modified 20 mm vulcan case"

    How the f@#k can this be justified in any way. Thats a 1/2 lb projectile. (approx 1kg)

    Im having trouble just trying to visualise this round let alone the rifle that fires it.

    I suppose you couldnt claim it as a possum gun then?

    Sounds like a sweet weapon with some serious work done to it.

    I would love a Walther P-99 in 9mm - I have the Walther/Umarex CP-99 .177 CO2 pistol and I love the way it fits in my hand.

    I've been a fan of Walther firearms for years and if I ever locate an LP-3 in good order at a reasonable price I'll snap it up for target air pistol shooting (as a pneumatic it is a lot more consistent in its shots than a CO2-powered pistol).

    At the moment the only constant-pressure air pistol I have is an antiquated long-barrelled piston-driven thing - sights are crap and the judder of the piston slamming home is attrocious.

    I'd love a good quality pneumatic air pistol or the time and money to get into rimfire and/or centre-fire pistols just for the consistency without the hassle (my experiences with both piston air rifles and Cat A firearms has taught me I cope better with recoil than piston-judder).
