    The 3mm and 4mm versions doubtless came about in response to the demands for “more power” from customers.

    I have read that the 2.7 and 3.0 Kolibri cartridges were in fact the same case, but with a different bullet, but having never seen one of either cartridge, I couldn't tell you. I have to believe that these would be underpowered even for rats.

    Was it Cooper or Keith that described the .25 Auto thusly?

    "If someone shot me with one, and I ever found out about it, I would undoubtedly be very cross with them"

    On stuff like that, I can't ever decide if I'm massively impressed by the watchmaker's artistry, or wanting to pull out Jeff Goldblum's quote from Jurassic Park about being so caught up in whether you COULD that you never gave any thought to whether you SHOULD.

    There is a cartridge collector near Charlotte NC that was kind enough to show me several of the rounds in 2.7, they are really really tiny.

    Heard a story of a gun shop owner shooting himself in the leg getting in the car on his way to a restaurant with a .25 acp, He went to the hospital after he ate.
