    You'd go through quite a bit of brass shooting that gun. I suppose the steel cased ones would be better than the brass.

    With regards to gun control in this country, everyone should be asking themselves one question:
    What is it that this government feels they need to do, but can't do, unless the citizens of this nation are first disarmed?
    (I seriously doubt you can come up with any plausible answers that you will like...)

    That picture reminds me of the original Hawaii Five O. At the first it always shows a guy loading a revolver with shells that have spent primers in them. (Jim, I'm trying to get the thread back on topic).

The doc dug the bullet out of the suspect's chest and held it for the detective to see, it was the whole stinkin round case and all!

    Talk about not having a clue!!
    In the current "NEWSPEAK" used by the press, many novelists and mystery writers, and even some police and courts, a "bullet" means a complete loaded round. That's why we invented the term "BOOLITS" for use here.

    Barney Fife ammo. maybe they should issue more of that to ABQ PD
    Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H.L. Mencken

    The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.― H.L. Mencken

    Well you have all missed the point if the LEO's only have those rounds to practice with sure explains why when you give them live rounds they can't hit the bad guys but can sure rack up the innocent bystanders. Look at the LAPD when they were searching for one of their own they managed to kill 90 dogs, at least two vehicles and some innocents. Yep I would feel real safe if the LAPD were my go to police. Seems one of those trucks they unloaded what was it like 90 rounds into it that truck must have put up one heck of fight, forget the two women inside hoping they didn't get killed.

    Gyrojet ammo had angled holes in the base to impart spin to stabilze in the smoothbore barrel.

    Jim, someone needs to change a spring if the firing pin is doing that to the ammo.

    If you watch British mysteries you will see this type of thing all the time. They are forever referring to a Luger as a revolver. I saw one crime show and one cop said to another, they retrieved the bullet and he slid a plastic bag toward the other cop and it had a complete pistol round in it.
