CS: Target-Steel cored bullets

2000-08-22 Thread gsavage
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Steel bullets do shorten barrel life, although it depends on how hard the bullet is and how thick the jacket is. They are also lighter than lead so they can be affected more by the wind. Rubbish. Steel cored bullets still have a lead ogive around the core as well as

From: "Hugh Bellars", [EMAIL PROTECTED] I must disagree with Hugh here and agree with IG. Any police officer disagreeing with policy directions given by senior officers is 'sticking his neck on the line' and any officer putting himself in this situation can find life very difficult indeed.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] He also said in an article in Combat Handguns that a Beretta 92FS with a ten inch ported barrel and 20-round magazine was the perfect "home defence" gun which sounds a bit contradictory to me. Steve, It's a 6" ported BarSto Barrel on a custom Beretta 96, 20 rd mag and

From: "E.J. Totty", [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've seen a .22 blank-firing revolver which had been converted to fire live ammunition by boring out the chambers and using part of an air rifle barrel for the barrel. The problem with these conversions is you may also be the last person to see it, as
