Thank you for thinking. The military would adopt these designs if they worked in Fort Bragg's Goat Lab, as it would be a way circumvent the Hague convention which prevents more effective damage, particularly from handgun rounds. Now fragmenting rounds can do the most tissue damage, but only in...

So it turns out, as the study indicates, that it is the lead-free PRIMERS that are forming the particles (see my previous reply two posts up). I had checked the wrong gun earlier before I edited that reply, and it turns out that of the three "Lead Free" rounds tested, only my Sinterfire 1776...

Thank you all for excellent information. I actually a study on sci-hub about the subject... Federal's Ballisticlean was the only one that formed these "particles" and "globules" as it puts it, in the ammo I have tried. I bought Speer Lawman RHT to compare with the Federal Law Enforcement RHT...

I like the more innovative stuff, like Federal Syntech Defense. Works wonders on hogs I found out recently.

In my firearms where I have shot Federal Frangible "American Eagle" 380 ACP, 9mm, 45 and ACP - and also in Federal "Reduced Hazard Training" Frangible .45 ACP, I ALWAYS end up with yellowish particulate in my guns' chambers and barrels. With the 9mm and 45 ACP this in in both in my hand guns...

Were these worth waiting nearly a year to get and paying close to $100 for? See images and video below. Just want to know your opinion. The TPR380X Plus has a higher capacity, has a threaded barrel, and with the upgraded 18 LB recoil-spring, easily outshoots the Beretta 84 IME (but not...

A lot of cool 380 handguns are coming out lately, and finally in larger sizes (where I enjoy 380 ACP the most) - yet ) none of these new larger .380 ACP handguns have threaded barrels. What gives? Why are they not offering this feature on guns shooting a subsonic caliber, in frame sizes where...

First thing: he VG6 Gamma's ability to compensate for muzzle rise in 300blk/7.62 brake vs the gen 1 as awful. And the new brake lacks the reward angle cuts to send gas backwards, and has less portage overall, causing greater felt recoil woth the cheaper-to-make Gen2 Gamma (and the Epsilon is the...

I new you guys would have good info, thank you!

I figured if anyone knew the answer to this question it would be the hand loaders out there. If you look below you will see a 9 mm round that has a "U" like emblem lightly imprinted on it. Is this a new thing, or have primer-manufacturers done this in the past? Additionally does anyone have...

To those who think the RN-50 is fine as is - This quote summarizes the problem we have with the design, and Serbu's reponse to finding out (via KB's near-death experience) where the pressure escapes when the RN50 is loaded with a terribly overloaded round. Serbu should have had a designed...

Obviously, thats not the point. The point is that he dismisses 100% of what Mccollum has to say. That was my point. Again the problem is: Serbu ignored all of Mccollum's advice, while saying essentially "it doesn't matter what gun jesus said." I am simply pointing out the words he used in...

Thanks guys! Good input, I honestly expected more anger at the statement. But everything was very constructive, as almost always is here at The High Road... as the name would imply :) I honestly wanted people to tell me I was dead wrong, was curious what others who had tried both would say...

I like my $450 Extar EP9 Gen2 more than the CZ Scorpion Evo 3 - Tell me why I'm wrong: I've now fired both firearms, and fired both in approximately the same barrel lengths/formats (but even in the somewhat longer barreled Evo, I think the following comments hold true - I've not fired then 16''...

Got mine, adjustable trigger included - and the SOB15 brace is a huge improvement over the new fish-tail looking brace, at least IMO (personal preferences are never wrong - thats just my opinion on the brace)... ...it is so much more comfortable shouldered, and has vastly superior cheek-weld...

note: when I say, "we as gun designers" - I am using to refer to gun-designers as a group of people and their job. I am not trying claim I am gun designer.

Exaclty, how people can excuse Serbu making a 50 Cal with ZERO effort put into directing failures away from the shooter, is inexcusable. It has to just be fanboy-ism causing people to defend a design that lacks basic design features of respectable firearms - intentional failure points. The RN-50...

Sorry I deleted my orignal post (it was error-riddled beyond repair), but I had a very similar reaction. According to Wikipedia Serbu has a Mechanical Engineering degree... but as a graduate of a University's Computing & Engineering school, I can testify that there are plenty of engineers who...

For analysis of the Metallurgy and Physics at play in the Serbu RN-50's failure, THIS VIDEO is a MUST WATCH. Though he draws no conclusions about the gun in the video (he just does the "science" so to speak), it comes as pretty damning for the RN-50: "interrupted threads would fix this...

SMH indeed. We stopped using threads even on sub-guns a long tome ago. Large thick lugs (essentially giant interrupted threads) are far stronger than inumerous threads. The neccesary shearing forces for the two are incomparable.
