  2. As a gunnoob, I was quite suprised to see how little actual barrel there was compared to the length of the firearm! I'm mainly interested in old muzzleloaded firearms, where the barrellength is basically the entire length of the metal tube (really only the stock makes the gun longer than the barrel). I always just kinda assumed it would be simular for modern firearms, that the bullet goes in all the way at the back, and is fired from somewhere just above the handle. But clearly that isn't the case, at least with this gun.

  4.  @beingsactual  Yeah after he screwed open the weapon it made sense, I just never really thought about it that way. It just felt odd having such a relatively long weapon (most pistols are shorter) with such a short actual barrel.

  5. Why? They were issued and seemingly used in several places in the world. So they must have been at least not so dangerous it's a stupid idea.

  7. At first I thought it was a custom job for someone that didn't have a pointing finger. Very suprised to learn this was in trial for general use.
