New XM25 Grenade Launcher Announced by US Military

[Phox]

On November 12, 1945, Life Magazine ran an unusual story. It was a photographic study of an FBI agent named Jelly Bryce drawing and firing his .357 Magnum in two-fifths of a second, faster than the human eye can follow. In the pictures Bryce dropped a silver dollar from shoulder height with his right hand then drew with the same hand and shot the coin before it reached his waist. What the article did not say was that Bryce could not only draw fast in front of a camera, but also in front of people who were trying to kill him. In fact, at that time, Bryce had already killed over 10 men in face-to-face shootouts as a city policeman and FBI Agent. In his era Bryce was undoubtedly the FBI's deadliest gun and may have been the best they ever had.

A real shooter.

I haven't read the whole article yet, but all I can say is wow.

My effective range caps at around 30ft.
I've shot the .357 so often that is seems boring in comparison to the 1911.
Both are awesome pistols with their own merits. The only true debate between the two is which is more bad ass.

Trying to debate the effectiveness of such awesomeness weapons is a sin against AMERICA..and I will accuse you of being a commie for doing so!

How romantic of you.

Yes let's romanticize weapons, and then mock people for caring about the utility of them.

God, you suck at life. And, evidently, know nothing about firearms of any sort. Have a nice day.

If your effective range is 10 yards then you are banned from this conversation.

Just because I have shaky aiming and am incompetent when it comes to aiming a pistol doesn't mean the conversation of which is cooler cannot be had.

What is your effective range Mr. Brown?

I am sufficiently hated, unsure as to whether this is good or bad. I evidently suck at life too much to know.

[Phox]

How far away are you actually going to hit anything with a pistol?

Depends on the pistol and the shooter. I would personally be comfortable at 100 yards with a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum  with the 10" barrel under the right conditions.

Read much, Persona?

With a .357 conical bullet and a nice tight revolver about 70 yards. With a .45 hollowpoint about 25 yards.

Which is cooler? They are completely different weapons. At close range the .45 has more knockdown power. Once you get past 20 - 25 yards the .357 is the way to go, it has greater range and still has knockdown power at 70 -75 yards. Also the bullet is faster with the .357 and it has much less propensity to ricochet.

Have you honestly ever shot either one?

Doesn't shoot much either is my guess.

[Persona Facade]

Charley is right, I do not shoot much. I simply am unable to shoot often.
I have looked through the entire thread and I still do not see where this quote from read much is located.

I don't shoot much. My guess is he doesn't shoot at all.

I liked him better when he was banned for being poptard.
