Dardick?

Wankel (sp?)

[gyre]

it's exactly like one turn of a wankel, but it's a magazine fed revolver.

The Dardick operates as a double-action revolver in that a single pull on the trigger brings the hammer to the cocked position, rotates the cylinder bringing a round ( or "Tround") into position under the hammer and releases the hammer to fire a cartridge. It differs from the revolver in having a magazine in the butt and open-topped chambers in the cylinder. As the cylinder rotates, with each pull of the trigger one of the open-topped chambers picks up a fresh cartridge from the magazine, another positions a cartridge under the hammer for firing while another allows a previously fired cartridge case to fall from the open right side of the pistol.

The Boberg uses a loader similar to the Maxim.

I was on a thread about the worst guns you had fired, and the big calibres were mentioned, especially in ultralight frames.
Surprisingly a number of blowback 380s were mentioned.
This was right before the Keltec came out apparently.

The 50AE Desert Eagle was mentioned, not for recoil, but for routinely hitting you hard in the head with shells.

Just saw one of these posted on the azs forum. Pretty cool concept.

While this device may not look like a weapon, it is actually quite deadly.
Hidden behind walls and ceilings to blend with the architecture, it shoots 15 shotgun shells when activated.

The weapon can be deployed remotely, and requires a series of authentications before it can fire.

I had been looking for the grade of 1/4" plate used by one company hardening cars.
I found a reference to use of AR500.
Chapel calls it abrasion resistant and offers a specific ballistic series also.
Quarter inch is supposed to stop 308.

Ever heard of the VSS?

Early 50 calibre sniper rifles built on PTRD actions.

I can do the same thing with a muzzleloading 2 gauge shotgun.

Too big?

Colt made a double-barrel 8-gauge at one time. The 8-gauge was popular during the Civil War, and was what Viggo Mortenson carried in the movie 'Appaloosa', based on the Robert Parker novel. It does the job.

go ahead, stick your paw in my mouth and see what happens.

[gyre]

You know, I've had the weirdest deja vu for a long time ...
Finally pinned it down.

I was at a house and they had this tiny dog, about the size of a kitten.
Too small to even be annoying.
Bounced up and down, followed everyone around, bug-eyed, mouth open, bounce, bounce, bounce.
Couldn't even outrun you.

Weird.

" a hit with a .22 is better than a miss with a .44"

"we don't fight, to be fair, we fight to win, fair, leaves you the dead guy, and the winner tells the story"

[Ugly Dougly]

I recall hearing about this device, which was a set of shotgun barrels mounted so that they formed a sort of flower on the roof of a vehicle, with the breeches in the middle, muzzles pointing outward.
In the roof of the vehicle, was simply a little crank, one time around which would fire the shotguns, leaving the surroundings quite quiet afterward.

Wish I could find a pic.

[ygmir]

like a horizontal gattling gun? it'd be pretty easy to make.

[Box Burner]

I think it sounds like a radial gattling gun.

[Simon of the Playa]

or a whole bunch of "Nut-Busters".....but thats more for crowd dispersal, in a pinch.


all you need is an assload of shells, some lead tape, corks and some roofing nails.


feathers work great for fins, but not needed.


high tech, low tech, whatever you got, ya use.

[^Rhino!]

high tech, low tech, whatever you got, ya use.

Absolutely. HOWEVER, using a sledgehammer to crack an egg to make an omelet is classical overkill.

[Simon of the Playa]

you want the egg broken or not?


dont tell alexander how to tie his shoes. Or untie them.

[ygmir]

I'd rather bring a gun to a knife fight, than vice/versa.

[MisaBlue]

I will just leave it here
