Nom de Forum YOU TOO? I am 65 and this is my first computer. MY son had to drag me kicking and screaming into the 21st century. I don't know how to post a picture, but I will learn.
Getting back more to the subject of this thread, I have a son (California Kid) who knows some pretty high powered people. These people have Doctoral degrees in subjects like Thermodynamics, Nuclear Physics; things like that. They work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories designing and building nuclear weapons. I had my son put Tuners premise to them . The one saying if you plug the bore on a short recoil gun, nothing will move, whereas a blowback will eject the case and will cycle
Guys, on that one point, Tuner is correct, it may blow up the gun, but that slide will not move. And that explains to me why all the blown up 1911s that I see in our shop always have the slide fully forward and in battery. I disagree on whether or not you will wreck the gun, Tuner, but you are right on that point.
