You sound like WAD BURTON. "MY NAME IS WAD, WAHD BURTON. AND I DRVE RCE CRS."

LOL

The problem with 9mm in combat is that it's ball ammunition. That .355 size stays that big, no expansion. Even 45acp suck in ball. A nice gold dot, golden spear, HST, etc. bullet in 9mm will expand to .6X sizes.

I'd much rather have a 9mm with a decent bullet than a fmj 45.

True, that's why I carry HST's or regular Hydrashocks in both 9mm and .45! :evil2:

Thanks for the links squid. I just bought 440 rnds of hungarian surplus..wicked cheap!

Here is a pic of my arsenal atm.. as I said before CVA Buckhorn Magnum .50 cal muzzleloader and also my 1916 Mosin Nagant "sporterized"

and heres a reference pic to show how damn tall that Mosin is.

M1?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

I sure hope its an M1 lol.

When I go to my dads house Ill try to get a shot between a Mosin Nagant an M1 Garand and an M1 Carbine

 

[SP 7M]

The M1 is a classic WWII rifle. I'm all about owning one of those.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Not only that. But they are a blast to shoot. Great rifles

 

[Squid699]

M1?

yup. one of the best service rifles made

yeah its huge...when its on my shuolder by the strap..the barrel doesn't go through doors.

 

[SP 7M]

Hayells yes.

What's the caliber on those rounds?

Fixed.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

7.62x54r

 

[Squid699]

M1's are 30.06 cal. In case you want to know

 

[drunk_medic]

Here's a bad pic, but it's my Saiga .308
Basically a Russian AK that shoots a more accurate round.
Probably between an AK and Dragunov in terms of accuracy.
Nice reticle illumination in the scope, that's for sure.

 

[rakkasan]

yup. one of the best service rifles made

M14 takes that honor, but the M1 is a kick ass rifle.

30 is what was sticking in my mind, but I wasn't certain.

I wouldn't have any issues with owning a Thompson sub-machine gun, either. That's also a damn nice piece of WWII weaponry right there.

Anybody else ever shoot the XM-218 .50 cal (pictured below)?

Squid, I know you've shot a .50 cal before, but that was probably a M2, correct?

 

[lanky189]

yeah, I've shot an M2 and an M60. I'll try to dig up the pics later tonight when I get home from work. After the M2's barrel would wear out, you could see the tracer rounds go into bigger and bigger spirals out of the barrel.

I've actually seen a barrel from a XM-218 that got so hot that it sagged so much that a round flew out the side of it. And that's not exactly what you want, you know?

I've also heard from some guys that when you shoot it enough, the barrel gets white and you can see the rounds travelling down it.
