I want to say the nagant revolver has a similar looking round. Also spot on... well, not similar, but the same none-the-less! |
|
is that the Nagant revolver round that slides into the barrel before firing and thus can be suppressed fairly effectively?
edit: I opened the thread and there were no replies, by the time I hit submit there were a lot |

Quoted: I have two boxes of Hotshot 7.62mm Nagant for the day i finally shoot the Revolver haha Quoted: Ooooo 7.62mm Nagant? This is it sir. |

The french developed these high velocity Armor Piercing rounds back in the 80's or 90's called, and Im likely sluaghtering the spelling, Treise Haute Vitesse. They were reverse ogive bullets that were low-mass but very high velocity. They were originally intended for use in revolvers, but a 9mm version was developed later on.
http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/THV.htm Just a really strange looking round for small arms. |

I think I'd like a chess set made out of those in various calibers. |

Not a whole lot of info out there on this round, but some say it could have been used on a belt fed setup. |

I love threads like this with wacky, historical, dead ends in firearm evolution.
Keep up the good work. |

there's a bunch of strange types in this photo, but I have no idea what most of it is. http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh174/smokiesmokie/ExoticHandgunAmmo.jpg I bought 2k rounds of the I5 in your photo. Did some research and they were used in... fuck i forgot. BRB EDIT couldn't find it. It was some sort of german FA weapon IIRC. I can't for the life of me remember,. |

Check out 8*50R Austrian Mannlicher. (244 grains @2,000fps if anybody cares) Stock photo: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/DriftPunch/8by50R.jpg About 10 years ago, I was in a local gun shop that normally wouldn't have anything old. I spotted a M95, on the rack and asked to see it. It was priced high (for the time) at nearly $300 bucks. Then I noticed the tag said it came with 2000 rounds of (this rare) milsurp ammo. SOLD! A piece of my stash: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/DriftPunch/850r2.jpg Rifle in question is 3rd from the bottom: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/DriftPunch/mantle.jpg I'd love an M95 in the original 8x50R. It's a matter of luck in finding one, unfortunately. My long rifle was converted to 8x56R. It's a nice shooter, but from what I've heard they're much more pleasant to shoot in the original caliber. |

Quoted: Nothing stranger than the tround. http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff98/mailbcw/d0056023_4aa50faedc906.jpg ETA: Beaten. Trounds FTW! |

It still thumps you quite nicely. |

The one and only time I took my Nagant to the range it was like shooting a pellet gun. A pellet gun with a 87 lb trigger pull, but no recoil to speak of. |

These are also quite funny looking http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/5mm-35_SMc_Ammo.jpg/800px-5mm-35_SMc_Ammo.jpg Is that shoulder rounded? or is it just the lighting? |

I'd buy one just to have on display. |

Does anyone remember a brand named "Vellet" (sp?) from the 70s?
I bought some in .357, I seem to recall it was advertised as an exploding round. edit: I remember also buying another brand named "Exploder" around the same time. |

Do a search on Russian SP-4 Silent Ammunition. One of the neatest ideas I have ever seen. Why silence the pistol, when the ammo will do the job for you!

So I'll throw in the DS 7.92 Polish Anti-Tank round. 107mm case, 4,180fps, could punch through 33mm of armor at 100 meters. Barrel life was roughly 300 rounds. |

I assume that middle one is fake, yes? |

Anyone remember hollow bullets?
I picked up an inert keychain from one of the big manufacturers at a big show in the late 80s. Maybe Hornady. Probably .38. Appeared to have a plastic wad to keep the powder in. Looked like a real nasty hollowpoint. |
