greater danger to the operator than to the target
Did you see the 2 bore double rifle Ian had on his show?
nah, but I've seen .5 NE double rifles
2 bore is bigger. A lot.
Half pound bullets.
.95JDJ is half-pound cast
IIRC
is that... two-gauge shot?
Pls no
.95 JDJ is about 230g cast, which is about 20cm³ of volume
so... 170g solid brass Xtreme Penetrator
matching volume-for-volume
@propyne you know, if I can get the people together, maybe it can be a reality
@propyne just need to call up Lehigh and beg permission to machine something like that
Why would you do such a thing
Oh, cos 'murica
Must be nice, having freedom
in Canada for the moment, but when I'm in the U.S. again it's on the list
Beautiful.
Can it actually feed from that magazine?
I... dont know what its supposed to be...
Like either the "pump" or the magazine "feed" is funtional
I guess thats what its depending on
An AK-00? Or is a 12 Gauge-47?
Still... its base is definately a shotgun..
But I dont think the pump is gonna move far back enough to "feed" the shells into the barrel
i don't understand why no one has developed a rimless shotgun shell
it'd solve all the problems with feeding from magazines.
I'm guessing the issue is getting enough charge out of the primer to set it all off properly. I'm not aware of any rim fire cartridges with charges approaching a shotgun shell.
i don't mean rimfire, i mean a rimmed case
Interesting.
i'm certain that with modern materials a rimless shell could be constructed. you'd give up the ability to have different lengths, but that wouldn't be particularly important in a self-loader meant for rapid fire close range fire.
sleeve wouldn't even need to be the full length of the shell
maybe make it 1/3" wide, and place it 2/3" from the base
i don't think that would be adequate to prevent rimlock
why not?
