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:

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.

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

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?

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.
