Either they don't understand what semi-automatic means or someone is clicking really fast.

Even the SU16s?

To be fair, it's *girls* with guns, not *guns* with girls.

How come?

Out-of-battery firing is when the round is fired without the slide fully engaging the chamber, thus leaving a gap.

No worries! It means the gunpowder exhaust used to propel the bullet is rerouted back into the action to progress the action. 1/2

Kinda like that, but the damage was only to the blown extractor, everything else seemed solid. Yea, standard federal 115 grain.

I had a round blow up and blew the extractor off. I'm waiting to hear back to see if it was the gun (out-of-battery) or ammo issue.

You're absolutely correct, but it was one of the more common earliest predecessors that I presumed would be better recognized.

Sounds like a failure to feed; shame, considering that mine was a blast to shoot.

Check out the Mateba, loads like any other revolver.

But the AK is gas-operated and the toggle lock is direct blowback. And, the Luger action makes the AK look like child's play

Aw, shite; you're right.

How many other handguns do you know that uses a toggle lock action?

Look at you with your trivia. I think #7 is closer to something like the Mateba, being a semi-auto blow back action with a slide.

I suppose springs work both ways...but I get what you're saying.

It demonstrates a direct or delayed blow back action similar to that of handguns and HK rifles.

I'm having to deal with them right now for my VP9 and they keep forgetting that I exist.

I wonder who is ultimately liable? Is it the car that negligently lost the wheel? Or do we play a game of tag and it's who touched it last?

FYI: Marcellus Gilmore Edson, an American, was awarded U.S. Patent 306,727 (for its manufacture) in 1884, when Carver was 20.

Did you marry your wife inside, like, a month of meeting her?

You didn't answer the question

Didn't we just have these action figures on the front page like, two days ago?

That actually makes a lot of sense. As a percussionist, I was curious how he got through the head so easily...

I suppose he started things off with a bang...

I should've known, "ooooh, they're scary" +1 for making me respond.

That's good to hear, let me know when y'all have more range day photos!
