How about you drop a link then?

Here's one from Courtney discussing it: https://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0701268

Thanks for that post. It confirms that Fackler is a dishonest fraud that I have long known from my own investigation.

Yup. Unfortunately he and his associates brainwashed a whole bunch of people before the internet became popular enough for the truth to circulate. The way it looks to me is that he made some very bold claims early on, and it turned out they were incorrect. So he spent the rest of his career trying to tear down anyone or anything that would expose him.

Jeff Cooper liked it, too. Said it penetrated straighter than roundnose. There are some safari rifle bullets with flat points for that reason.

I remember reading about that sawn off OSI pistol in a Dean Grennell book. They must all have been scrapped, I have never seen one in the wild, even though the occasional General Officers' Pistol can be found.




Right. But I figure it was a gun problem with NATO members who expect us to supply them in case of conflict as we have done before. There are a lot of different 9mms out there and there were probably more back then before carbines had largely taken over from SMGs.

I do know what happened to them! But that’s another topic for another thread.
(Shredded). But except for magazines and a few custom grips, they were manufactured from previously surplused and scrapped M1911’s, so technically they never existed. Which was why they were only issued to “plain clothes” OSI.

I just weighed an M2A1 can with 1000 rounds of 5.56 in it. It's 210,000 grains. I calculated that to achieve 1000 foot pounds of energy, I need to send it at 32 mph.
