I do not think he was aware of such weapons in private citizens\groups hands. <br />I always wonder what the hysterical anti-gun crowd would say when they realize it is not just small arms the good guys have at their disposal.

In the U.S. we call that semi-fixed ammunition. You can adjust your powder charge by adding or removing powder bags in the cartridge case. Then we have fixed ammunition where the projo is crimped to the case and you load and fire it as you get it just like small arms ammo. The last category is separate loading. You shove the projectile in the gun, then load powder bags behind it, no cartridge case. Close the breach and then load a primer in a small breach attached to the large breach. Those look like 7.62 or 30.06 blanks, not quite the same thing though. Bet nobody gives a shit, but I felt like running off at the typewriter. Eod1sg Ret Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
