Sturgeon Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 This is more geared towards war gaming, but it still helps outline something I talked about a bit over the past two weeks, which is how many automatic weapons a WWII infantry squad or platoon would have - the answer being quite a lot, really: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meplat Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Who dosent visit Tex-Mex country to get drunk on mexican beer and BBQ enough to buy up all the surplus nagants in the southwest and resell them 4 years later at 230% inflated prices In all seriousness, i did buy a few nagant pistols in the South just to have something to fiddle with, there is a decent chance i actually encounted Meplat was the expat in his late 40s? No, he was a tall, somewhat skinny guy in his late 20's/early 30's. He was very happy to get it though, and then showed me the fantastic East German Makarov he'd found in the show. Part of me wanted to charge him more, the bigger part told that part to shut up, as that silly popgun had obviously found a fine home, and was saved from a slow death in a machine-shop as a can mule. I should not be too hard on it, as it DID work, was reasonably accurate and was basically new when I got it. But I only had ~$ 35.00 in it, and another $50.00 for the ammo that came with it. I sold it for an even $100.00. It was a 1940 Tula, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Since Karl equivocated the .300 Blackout and the 7.92x33 Kurz, here's a render of the two cartridges both loaded with 240gr subsonic bullets. Note the poorly shaped combustion chamber of the Kurz: I don't think the 7.92x33 would make a very good host for subsonics, because the case is too fat and wide, and the overall length is too short. However, I was surprised at how much widening the bullet from 7.82mm to 8.16mm, and adopting the shorter ogive of the KzPtr shortened the Sierra Match King - by a whole 3.715mm! That took the KzPtr from "unworkable" with long subsonic bullets to merely "bad". Contrast the internal volume of the 7.92 with the nice, neat combustion chamber of the .300 Blackout when loaded with the 240 Sierra.

Donward Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 TFB is really pushing the tactical gun lamp storage with two posts on the subject! http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/12/02/tactical-lamp-another-method-of-gun-storage-at-home/ Cuz leaving a loaded weapon out where a kid can find it or where a burglar will knock it off a shelf in a home invasion robbery is what we need to be promoting. Also, Katie dear, hunters care about home defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Fight Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Stumbled upon this again, it never gets old: It's weird that I can probably easily spot this thing at distance out of a lineup of about 1,000 government letters at this point.

Meplat Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Not myself, but I've seen them. I'm trying to correct that. Hopefully before the end of the year I'll get into the "bulk ammo collection" where all the random 8mmKurz is lurking with the other stuff. May be rooting through it soon, as I know I had a whole bunch of .45 auto rim stuffed with pyrodex and capped with 274 grain pills. Hopefully it's in that box.

Donward Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Meanwhile meanwhile Meplat is happy with the rudimentary notch on his fowling piece coupled with buck-and-ball and a healthy amount of "Kentucky windage". Kentucky windage comprising an instantaneous computation of one parts elevation, one parts leading the target and 98 parts Kentucky bourbon.

Sturgeon Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I mean, down to the directorial style and shit, yeah! Glock does better in that test because its design is a little more generous in terms of fit, I think. Like ol' Jeanny G said, wherever possible make the parts fit nice and sloppy.
