A .44 magnum doesn’t bother me but there is no way I would fire one of the .500 mags.
If I still handloaded it would be a different matter. Loaded down to maybe 1200 fps with a medium weight bullet should be about right. It would be a nice truck gun.
Gersh Kuntzman - Is this some kind of joke?
The M4 Carbine shoots semi-auto or three-shot burst. The more recent M4A1 variant ditches the burst-fire parts and fires semi-auto or full-auto.
DOD has swung back and forth on this for years - the M16A1 was full-auto, the A2 was 3-shot burst, the A3 was full-auto.
Part of this pattern may be procurement for the different branches of the military. IIRC, the Army liked 3-shot burst but the USMC didn't care for it.
To me, 3-shot burst seemed to turn your 30-shot rifle into a 10-shot rifle.
Not only is it loud—It’s black, too.
Black is a scary color to little kids.
but there is no way I would fire one of the .500 mags....Makes you a better shot. You don’t want to do it the second time.
I’ve got a Mossberg Maverick, dirt cheap from Walmart a few years ago and couldn’t pass it up. Put an ATI top folding stock on it (it has a trigger guard safety) and saddle for extra shells. Fits nicely in a Prince double racket carrying case.
A feature I like on it is the `second safety’ on the left side of the gun, behind the trigger guard & under the serial number, that you have to push to rack the slide.
Someone who doesn’t know about it, and maybe shouldn’t be using it, won’t be able to chamber a shell.
The daily news is written for morons.
They found the three rounds was a mistake and are eliminating it.
I had a one-piece Pachmayr on a Browning 9mm and it was nice but went back to the wood stocks. Dad gave me the gun that way, reminds me of him.
Agree. In fact the Drill Sgt would make you fire it while pressed against your crotch to show the lack of kick it had
Did the reporter go home to Mommie top take care of his ouchie? What a wuss.
Mine’s a 500. Maybe that’s where they got the price from, lol. It was $517 at WM when it wasn’t on sale.
Some tell me to buy 00; friend of mine likes 3 or 4. I’ve only got birdshot for it. I understand that’s not the best for protection but it’s what they had at the time.
Amazing, these drama queens. Bet he couldn’t handle my Crosman 760 I had as a kid, LOL.
That was my first thought. You can empty the entire clip (excuse me, magazine) in an M-16, and it feels like getting a mild massage.
A FEMINIZED JEW HURT HIS ARM???? OMG!!!!
I have a .300 Weatherby mag he can try for comparison.
Recoil from a .223 that bruised his shoulder??? What the hell is his shoulder made of? Wet spaghetti?
AR-15s have shoulder bruising recoil? Really? I never noticed. They are loud; I grant him that.
