A lot of military budget spent on development. I don’t know if we will see it in production.
There are air guns that would out perform the one in the YouTube video.But I do believe electronics will be fully integrated into handheld military weapons. Eventually conventional powder and lead projectiles will be replaced.

I rarely buy from Brownells, mostly Midsouth Shooters. Tax is there, but prices are usually better, cheaper shipping than Midway.
Also, on GB, most sellers charge 3% credit card fee.
I like Midsouth I usually pick up my stuff in person, so no shipping charge. I know it’s not practical for people that don’t live near them.

I will take them.

Dang it! None of mine have the barrel band! Those should sell like hotcakes!

I wouldn’t do it. In the late 70s in Oklahoma it was somewhat common practice among some Law enforcement officers to have their 38 specials converted to 357. A gunsmith would just bore out the 38 special cylinder to accept the longer 357.
I was encouraged to have it done, I did it on a model 64 S&W and never felt comfortable with it, sold it with full disclosure.
Non magnum cylinders are not tested or designed for magnum loads. Yes I know Elmer Keith invented the 357 by pushing the envelope. YMMV.

Rossi .38 special 3 inch barrel. Have never successfully fired more than one round out of it at a time.
Got it like new in box early 2000s, don’t know when it was made.
I load up a cylinder, pull the trigger goes bang and the cylinder locks up.
A Winchester 190 .22 Jam-O-matic even after I tightened the barrel.
The current runner up is a Cobray 45/410 double barrel. At least it shoots, but I kind of hate it.
Lots of others in the past.

Fully vaccinated and boosted. I wear a mask when required and I try not to push my luck.

They were good shotguns! I had a brand new police model many years ago. Mine is long gone. I think I still have a couple police marked s&w 12g slugs. Anyway you brought back a memory! GLWS

Well it looks as if Miss Gutierrez-Reed is gonna be the fall guy. It seems that in a pod cast a couple of months ago that she commented about not being sure if she was ready to be a movie head armorer. I kinda find it hard to believe that a girl who has been shooting and handling firearms since she was big enough to pick one up would make such a mistake. But then, we all have brain farts now and then. Very sad indeed.
Question: can you still get fingerprints off a fired cartridge case or does the heat destroy them? Seems it would be easy enough to check prints to see who actually put the live round in that gun.
Seems like a rookie mistake to bring live ammo anywhere near a movie set.
Did the assistant director just grab a gun without asking her and assume it was safe. -

Another anti-gun actor making big money using guns in a movie.
I feel badly for the victims. No sympathy for Baldwin at all. A real gun person, even an actor on set, would have checked the gun himself before using it.
Back in the 80s a hot, up and coming young actor, Jon-Erik Hexum, accidentally killed himself on set playing Russian Roulette with a .44 magnum loaded with blanks. The blank drove a piece of his skull through his brain.
There is no excuse for bad gun handling. Even an anti-gunner should know that if you plan to make your living with one.
I remember that one, I believe it was the first episodes of MacGyver.

Have a hard time convincing me of that excuse.
It just doesn’t make sense. The gun had to be deliberately fired. I wonder how live ammo got loaded, if that’s what happened?

So old west set, some how supposedly gun misfires twice, kills one and wound’s another.
I don’t think they know what a misfire is!
I know blanks can kill at contact close range. This doesn’t sound like blanks or “misfires”!

Back years ago when I was hunting they use to have draw hunts on Ft Campbell and you could take 1 Doe and 1 buck per hunt in certain areas to help control the population. I don't know if they still have those hunts or not anymore. I do believe that soldiers on the base, veterans and handicap veterans can hunt certain areas but not sure
I haven’t tried to hunt or fish at Campbell in quite a while. I find the access and procedures for check in to be a pain. I have gotten credentials before but just don’t like the check in process. I am older so I don’t like to deal with the bureaucracy. https://ftcampbell.isportsman.net/

Nice looking rifle! Watch aimsurplus and grafs if the Swiss ammo comes in they usually get it.

I think that’s a great deal! GLWS!
I am a left handed shooter, otherwise I would be all in on this.

Do you have specific milsurps you are interested in?

Very sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. Prayers for your healing and recovery.

5. 99 per hundred for federal they did not specify a limit. I bought a thousand just to have a little bit more.
I bought federal and later realized they had CCI 6.99 per hundred as well. -
You have some great .44 revolvers!

No surprise! Although I never had a problem there. When I visit Memphis, I am careful where I go.
Seems like Nashville is working hard to move up that list.
