    "Yaw cards" have been used for well over a century, so I suspect this phenomenon was discovered a long time ago.

    I loved the early prototypes that clearly had Ulm proofhouse markings.

    Points out the Lercker Machine Pistol to trump all. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/machine-pistols/lercker-machine-pistol/

    Here in the US, Bill Fleming and/or F.J. Vollmer used to offer this conversion, both suppressed and unsuppressed. In the UK, FR Ordnance produced approximately fifty MC51.

    This thread has photos of the cartridges: http://iaaforum.org/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=17288

    Heck, they are already up to G36A11. Yes, it goes to eleven. (Nigel Tufnel approves this development.)

    It is an OSS (Operators Suppressor Systems) "Generation V" sound suppressor. The octagonal suppressor sleeve is a dead giveaway.

    No, that was probably Roy Marquardt.

    It was roughly a scaled down version of Frank Marquardt's 20mm Mk 11 cannon design that was also produced by Hughes Tool Company. http://www.google.com/patents/US2972286 http://www.germanmanuals.com/images/TheMGV3b.pdf http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/278412.pdf http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/601655.pdf

    The DA stroke on the semi-auto Spectre was impossible from the sole example I handled.

    I still have a soft spot for his early films like Bad Taste and Braindead (Dead-Alive). Alas, I've never had a chance to watch Meet the Feebles.

    Aren't those part of the Trophy APS?
  15. D.E. Watters
    Actually, it was a struggle to shoehorn a 1940s-vintage VT fuze into a 3" shell, so anything smaller was right out. This is part of the reason why the US Navy wanted to replace 40mm/L60 Bofors with the 3"/L50 as soon as possible.

    The current trick setup in SASS is a Winchester M1873 clone with a custom short-stroke lever. The lever strokes on the M1892 and M1894 suffer in comparison.

    Wacky thought: Could you pillar bed the stock for the tang screw?

    And what did you get when a Westie knocks up a Rottie? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2518016/Tiny-male-Westie-mates-female-Rottweiler-twice-size-create-new-breed.html

    Looks like it has finally topped out at 435.
  22. D.E. Watters
    It was also an issue with the M1.
  23. D.E. Watters
    I'm fairly certain that Dick Casull designed a rifle cartridge with a recessed base/primer, so that should be feasible. The compressed powder would be little different than some of the caseless schemes, or for that matter, the compressed propellant pellets for available for modern muzzleloaders.

    Here is a better cutaway of the Mk 217 Mod 0. Another photo shows the amount of setback from the fired case. http://cartridgecollectors.org/cmo/cmo05oct.htm
  25. D.E. Watters
    Most of the AAI SPIW models used primer piston actuation. The 9x51mm spotting rifle for the LAW80 and SMAW uses a variation on the scheme crossed with the high/low pressure concept. Roughly speaking, a .22 Hornet cartridge is inset into the base of a .358 Winchester case. The setback of the Hornet case upon ignition actuates the bolt.
