The Shooting Sports: The .460 Magnum round ~ 2409 ft/s +,-

[Stanyon]

Interesting pistol, depending on the brand and type of bullet factory ammunition can cost anywhere from $1.39 a round to around $3.00 - $4.00
enjoy!

They were loathed by the nobility because a mere peasant without any training could easily pick one up and kill a knight who had trained for years. They felt that it gave an "unfair" and "unearned" effectiveness (according to an episode of "Deadliest Warrior", that is.)

What is funny to imagine is that you had to sit down to reload them. So in the middle of a pitched battle, you'd have loads of people sitting down while others fought nearby.

God made all men. But Colt (Samuel Colt that is) made all men equal. Surely SJW types can get behind that message?

 

[Valjean]

Not a practical round, IMHO. S&W is showcasing -- pandering to the gun crowd -- rifle-like ballistics from a "handgun." It sacrifices the utility of both a handgun and a long gun for ballistic showmanship.

Nope just science and always always always the other bow that was superior was most certainly the work of the Devil my enemy!!! Then of course it would flip, we need the devils bow by golly and we can kill the devil!!!! Devil a funny word. Apparently its what drives scientific intellectual innovation!!! Sometimes in the l humanities vs science department war, one has to laugh, nothing really changes as it changes. Btw nice bow!!!
