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

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.

Just a really strange looking round for small arms.

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

Nagants are fun. My Dad replaced his (original was stolen - yeah, I know, who steals a Nagant revolver) the weekend before last.

They're currently available for good prices; anyone's guess to whether there are any more to be imported after this batch.

6.5 Carcano has ridiculously long round-nose bullets.

I bought 2k rounds of the I5 in your photo. Did some research and they were used in... fuck i forgot.

EDIT couldn't find it. It was some sort of german FA weapon IIRC. I can't for the life of me remember,.

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.

If it's lighter, it's not by much.  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.

Part of me has always been surprised nobodies ever made a run of these and the ammo for them just for shits and giggles. I'd buy one just to have on display.

Quoted:


Google .22 Jet.








I have the .22 Jet (left) and .357 Metal Piercing (right).  The middle one looks like the .256 Winchester Magnum loads I make except for the long bullet.  I use 60 grain SP and HP bullets in the .256 WM and make the cases myself.



The .22 Jet has the fireball and roar of a .357 Magnum going off but hardly any recoil, as the bullet only weighs 40 grains.  The .22 Jet is one of the few "normal" handguns rounds that can't be fired at an indoor range - the bullets chip the armor plate even though they are soft points.

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!

Came her to post in before tround.

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.

Say what you will about the Russians, but once in a while they do some really "outside of the box" stuff when it comes to arms design.

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.
