  2. A Trench Gun From Parts

    Only "fan" (slamfire) from the hip for better control. Not from the shoulder like the idiots on 'youtube' good way to hurt yourself.

    When you tell the a friend that a model 97 or 12 have no disconnect and they ask with a puzzled look"what does that mean?". You "fan" the magazine and the grin on yours and their face would cut off the top of your heads if it didn't stop at your ears.

    Remember "fanning" is only for up "close and personal". Doing it right is a whole lot of fun. Learn the right hold to fire from the hip for the best control.

  19. Anyone Know What This is About?

    Hate to be a pain but M40A1 is 106mm not 90mm

    Kinda OT, but here's a short video that shows the US M40A1 90mm recoiless rifle in Greek service. You can see the "spotter" rifle mounted just above the barrel. It fired the special .50 M8C spotter round, a low velocity tracer projectile that matched the range and trajectory of the 90mm. The gunner had two triggers, on for the spotter rifle, another for the 90mm. The theory was that you aimed and then confirmed that you were on target with the spotter before firing the 90mm.

     

  22. the 2 new liberator pistols

    I can understand the "hellibut" thing. But if you have to shoot it shoot it do it in 45ACP once and see how it shoots then put it away. It's not the type of pistol you fire box after box of ammo through even in 380 or 22.

     

     

    I guess it'd be for the same reason I go to Long John Silvers.........just for the hellibut .

    The gun only fills a display nitch for a collector and runs north of $600 . A lot for something you just look at . For a little extra , you could pop a few lower pressure rounds through it safely. I was also thinking that if the insert was offset in it's bbl drilling and indexed when installed , the offset of center firing pin would aid in it's smooth bbl OK from the feds.

    Kinda like the M9 2.36 Bazooka on the wall behind me. My version of a $3,000 Picasso or Rembrandt . Serves no real purpose but to give me joy . Funny thing is I could sell it in a heartbeat for a lot more to several other art collectors I know . ( Down boys , it's not for sale now. )
