    Handguns from World Wars

    If you were to be knocked over by the impact of a bullet, would it not make sense that the person firing that bullet would be knocked over as well? That bullet didnt CREATE energy on the way...

    Rifles and Machineguns of WW2

    Sorry, I would have, but the handguns thread has become a little mean spirited with the big 9mm vs. .45 debate. ANYWAYS, back to rifles, It would be difficult to strip the STG 44 title of father of all assault rifles in so far as it coined the term.

    I found a post war P38 for $450. Supposedly in excelent condition, and comes with leather holster and extra magazine. Does this seem like a resonable price?

    could be worse. Gun violence is not a big problem here, unfortunatly, a couple high profile cases have swayed many, with no stake in the matter either way, to the side of political reactionaries.

    agreed, the gun registry in this country is a billion dollar joke. Controlling handguns, which are intended specifically for killing humans is one thing, but harrasing farmers with golpher killing .22's is just plain wasteful. Matt308, are you mistaking the muzzle trap system on the failed...

    Rifles and Machineguns of WW2

    Less energy, maybe because the .30 06 round is 63mm long vs. 57mm for the mauser? It seems to me that the .30 06 may be a fine sniper, or specialist cardridge but overpowered for the average soldier. Do you think that if the Garand was rechambered for something like the 6.5mm or even the 7.62...
