I'd have paid to see thatA buddy of mine fly's a beaver & ferries people all over the place. Once after dropping off clients he happened to fly over their camp after taking off & sees these two guys running around like idiots so he promptly lands to see what's wrong.
Apparently these guys thought bear spray was used like bug dope & sprayed themselves good.
Me too - I've been exposed to CS (during training) more times than I'd like to think about.
No doubt when you are required to remove your mask & recite your name, social & birth-date.
I once took a faceful of a very similar compound in lab. It was almost odorless, and it built sort of slow. I got sent to the hospital above my protests that "it'll be over in ten". Closest my face came to collapsing into itself
Bore diameter is diameter across the lands of a rifled bore. Bullet diameter is groove diameter plus one or two thousandths.
Explained perfectly - I get it now.
I almost bought myself one of their .500ws when they came out. Had they had a "no muzzle brake" option, I'd probably have done it.Explained perfectly - I get it now.
But I'm still not trading the S&W 4" double action for anything else as I plan on only using it as required laying flat on my back.
I absolutely love the single actions - bought 2 Ruger Beasley's in .45 colt years ago to convert to Linebaugh, never got around to it as they both shoot like "a house afire" not to mention S&W introduced the .500 a few years later.I almost bought myself one of their .500ws when they came out.

My Linebaugh was built in the 90s by David Clements, an extremely talented and humble gunsmith out of Mississippi. It looks almost like this exemplar. I have sent 480s out the "complaint department" up front. Whack!!
If I ever am lucky enough to ride North, I'd like to find a way to send the gun to AK and have it along for the duration. I once had the ambition to ride on my Hog to Tuktoyaktuk, northernmost road in my atlas.
I sold my second Bisley, which was gonna become a specialty six-holer for the .45ACP cartridge. I believed that having a suitably small powder capacity would make for an excellent target gun. Never got to test the premise, and I sold that gun unfired.
Very cool looking critters - the first to me is the best looking - clean, nice wood & overall the best.I sold my second Bisley, which was gonna become a specialty six-holer for the .45ACP cartridge.

The .500 started as a .357 Bisley and I did shoot that as originally supplied. I prefer my other .357s, Colts, S&Ws and a coupla Freedom Armses. Those last two are sweeeet.
the 353 is a five-holer with massive cylinder walls. By grinding up uranium and matchheads and mixing them with political cartoons, I sent 180s out that muzzle at 1900 feet per second. Now THAT is a bear load in a subcaliber.
Addendum. I wanted a cylinder for the 353 in .454 Casull necked down to .357 ... was gonna call it the Double Magnum or Sheepshifter (a silhouette reference). Nobody would make me one because that Freedom steel eats up tooling.
Oh yes, the little six-holer is a universal sort of gun. It carries well, and in my hands it point shoots in the pitch dark. I am mighty fond of it, esp. with old-school .357 loadings that reach the full 46000 cup, not the detuned modern 35000 cup of pressure you need to keep a Charter Arms or a little Model Sixty together for more than a hundred shots.
I saw this today. I can imagine how devastating it would be to game bird populations
OK I have to answer this. In my junior year I did a path. study on ballistics to the human skull. This is an angels on the head of a pin argument LOL
