Yes, its a micro Claymore with a shotgun like 11-1 o´clock spread with 40000 ft-lbs energy output

Still not as much surface area as normal granules. Really, why would they make it the way you're suggesting? What's the advantage?

>>109079
More powder in the same volume, convenient to reload.

>>109080
It's only convenient to reload if you're only loading one bullet weight in one cartridge. It's less convenient when you have to buy a different pellet for every cartridge and powder charge. How would you even work up a load, buy a whole pack of pellets in every increment just to test a few? And you'd basically have to abandon bottleneck cartridges. And it would still burn slower due to surface area.

>>109086
I dunno, it seems like a great option for handloading, instead of having to load with a scale you just stick the right pellet and do he rest. And isn't slow burning powder beneficial for many loads? As for bottleneck cartridges, i thought you open the case up before reloading anyway, if you don't, then yeah, it's not worth it of course.

>>109087
Now that I think about it, some people still hunt with percussion revolvers. One could make a replica for smokeless powder that in pellets will be easy and safe to load into the cylinder.

Side by side picture, sorry about the perspective I had to stack them on top of each other to get the side by side but you get the idea

Good job.

I went for PS9 for Problem Solver, then when it didn't stick, I literally went to the LGS, local pages and dudes and we all went ham voting multiple times for YC9.

So yeah, I'm gonna buy one, I helped meme the fucking thing into existence damnit

I can't believe "problem solver" lost :(

I'd own one. If I could ;_;

Sympathies, AB.

We had a brit visit our shop a few months ago looking for .22lr Colt AR magazines, which he said were legal for him to take back home. He was telling us how difficult it was to get a handgun and how they needed the grip and barrel extensions.

He bought quite a bit of stuff from us, but most of the stuff he wanted was restricted under ITAR. He could the same items (optics, etc.) at home, but they were 2 to 3 times as expensive.

>>109244
Yeah, it's mental over here on pistols. If I want anything remotely pistol shaped the "easiest" is something like a BP Colt Navy. :/

Yep. We get shafted on shooting gear. Hopefully the post Brexit trade deal will help... but I'm not holding my breath.

Josef "Sepp" Allerberger was the second most successful sniper of the German Wehrmacht and one of the few private soldiers to be honoured with the award of the Knight's Cross.

In this harrowing memoir, Allerberger provides an excellent introduction to the commitment in fieldcraft, discipline and routine required of the sniper, a man apart. There was no place for chivalry on the Russian Front. Away from the film cameras, no prisoner survived long after surrendering. Russian snipers had used the illegal explosive bullet since 1941, and Hitler eventually authorised its issue in 1944. The result was a battlefield of horror.

Pistolsmithing - George C Nonte Jr.

Everything and anything a man would need to know about the maintenance and upkeep and repair of pistols. This book is an extremely valuable addition to any firearm enthusiasts library. Nonte shares his grand store of knowledge from a lifelong career as a gunsmith. Anyone looking to do a little bit of work on their pistol would be well off reading this before starting out.

What it is like to go to War - Karl Marlantes

War is as old as humankind, but in the past, warriors were prepared for battle by ritual, religion and literature -- which also helped bring them home. In a compelling narrative, Marlantes weaves riveting accounts of his combat experiences with thoughtful analysis, self-examination and his readings -- from Homer to the Mahabharata to Jung. He talks frankly about how he is haunted by the face of the young North Vietnamese soldier he killed at close quarters and how he finally finds a way to make peace with his past. Marlantes discusses the daily contradictions that warriors face in the grind of war, where each battle requires them to take life or spare life, and where they enter a state he likens to the fervor of religious ecstasy.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare by Damien Lewis

Lassen was part of the crew for the first real SOE operation, the theft of a pair of German and Italian supply ships from the neutral Spanish port at Fernando Po. In an exploit that could be straight out of Hollywood, a band of commandoes sailed a pair of tugboats into the harbor at night while the ships' officers were ashore at a raucous party. They blew the anchor chains with explosive charges, locked the crews below deck, and sailed the ships out to sea where they could be legally captured by a British destroyer. And they did it without a single death on either side. The exploits only became bigger and bolder after that, with Lassen and his comrades making regular raids across the English Channel and running a freewheeling campaign of both hit-and-run raids and occupation of Greek islands in the Aegean. These were the quintessential independent Special Forces fighters, operating outside regular military command structures and supply chains, fighting as they saw fit. Lassen eventually because the commanding officer of a large group, and by the end of the war had been awarded the Military Cross three times. His last operation in Italy - where his men were hit with a shattering defeat when pushed into the role of spearheading a conventional offensive - would result in him posthumously receiving the Victoria Cross for his heroism.

My Dude,

Where should we start?

lol thanks man

Got a chance to shoot a Hudson H9. Really neat handgun, just wish the company wasn't plagued by mismanagement. Speaking of which, I hope you're able to get yours back, Avgas

Thanks dude. I did a bunch of pistol dry fire practice the day before, and it really paid off. One thing, on that last stage with the steel shooting gallery, I could actually feel the difference in weight and recoil as my magazines emptied. I basically counted off the last 3 rounds before the slide locked back. Never noticed that before. Shit happens when you're in "the zone".

Regarding dry practice, when I was practicing with the pistol I was focusing on my grip and trigger pull... to the microscopic level.

- More tension on the ring and pinky fingers
- Get the beavertail centered into the web of the hand
- The force from the trigger pull is between the first knuckle of the finger and the middle of the web of the hand...

One other thing I practiced the day before was left shoulder rifle handling, including loading the rifle, and reaching behind my back to get the magazine on my left hip. That went so well at 1:28 in the video it's hardly noticeable.

If you've got a long drive, check out the Primary and Secondary modcast on Tactical Gamers. They're a bunch of MIL/LEO guys who got into competitive shooting to grow as shooters. One of the things they discuss is that competitive shooting does wonders for your "processing speed", and how instinctual handling of the gun frees your mind to process your situation and surroundings.

Ernest Langdon is on the modcast and describes his first USPSA grand master win. He said it was the slowest run he's ever had. Then when they read the time, he beat everyone. But in his mind, everything was in slow motion.

Piece of shit magazine "VP9 20 2". I cleaned it thoroughly afterward and it worked.

  Second! Also, golf-cart drive by.

  Fifth, so pretty good. I think I lost a shitload of time on the death star. The stage brief said we had to shoot at it at least two times before going to the shotgun. Also stoppage on the VP9 >>109180

Good question.
Loading 7.65x17mmSR Browning into a double-column 9x18mm Makarov magazine may be problematic.

It's better to just buy a CZ83.
That's how big a hassle it is.

You might get the old tube out with no fuckups, and you might get the new one in as well as the old.

My two bits-
"Please don't". Just buy what you want. This is not a 1911 where you can mix and match.
