No it would melt too fast.
You talking bout the big old .44? They really aren't that good although dirty harry had one so if its good enough for him its good enough for me.
Must get the lend of tosh's SA80 if he doesn't need it this weekend, my garrett m50 is in for a service.
I spent two years at the Weapons Research Centre in Northern Ireland, just down the road from where you (JM) went to university.
We had an example of every terrorist weapon there was, an indoor sound-proofed fireing range, where you could fire any calibre upto 7.62; but only on semi-automatic.
If you like guns, that was the job to have. Each Friday we'd have a 'play' with some of the serviceable weapons, and I've fired just about every modern and old weapon available.
The Martini Carbine was good fun and I loved the large calibre Magnum (Dirty Harry). It's a revolver that takes rifle amunition. What a kick!
My favorate was the sawn off shotgun, sawn off at the butt and barell. There's something really savage about it.
Capt Lard needs something like this, for one of his customers I think!
