Belt fed no less

Nope, they couldnt get the electronic distance fuse to work right in a 10mm package.. so they switched to the larger round.

All the other features are still being kept tho..

Like the 30 mm pump-action grenade launcher?

I just placed a two hour overseas call to the factory. They said that after having done their research (on a website that sounded sorta like "GlockTalk", but I'm not sure, there were some language problems), they decided the next XD will be in 454 with a titanium barrel.

It will be all carbonfibre, and ceramic. Invisible to X-ray machines.

And it will fire the .50BMG, yet the grip will still be small enough for your hand.

It will weigh 0.97oz.

I swear.

No No, Toadstool is the project for military sales, the civilian version is Project Mushroom. For that matter its always Project Mushroom...

And it will fire the .50BMG, yet the grip will still be small enough for your hand.

Magazine fed from the side, I guess. Must be made from a Lithium/Scandium alloy with a polyfornic liquid metal matrix. Ruger uses a similar alloy to make golf clubs.

Your close badger. Actually its made of carbon nanotubes that have captured helium atoms internally. Thus the great strength, and offsets the weight of the rest!

 

[Dorian]

oh s#!t....

I read this:

Hey, I heard that they're only making it in .45GAP.

Before I read this:

I'm starting a rumor that they're only making it in .45GAP. Lemme know if you hear it.

and a almost burst into tears!

NOT FUNNY!!!

okokok.... it was FREAKING HALARIOUS! but not for that 3 seconds!

 

[hnm201]

I heard that they're making a slim yet fullsized single-stack .45, doing what Glock and Kahr have not yet dared to do!

 

[tcdrennen]

Here's the rumor coming back atcha!:
1911 Forum XD 45 thread

 

[natedog]

It will fire 20mm airbursting shells, with a maximum range of 2000 yards. It has computer guidance to tell the shells when to explode over a target, and a magazine capacity of 12 rounds.

 

[mrming]

maybe we need to start rumor threads more often
