  1.  @willgund779  grapeshot is a cloth bag or a tin can or two wood ends strapped to eachother by hemp cord. In either of those three containment defices is a significant number of cast iron or lead balls the size of a large grape up to the size of a golf ball packed as uniformly tight as possible. This is then loaded instead of a single cannonball and fired like an oversized shotgun at close range, roughly 50-200yards. Also, Drachinifel, naval historian, has a great video on the HMS Wasa ship of the line with links to the footage produced by the museum curators and the gun engineers at Bofors reproducing and testing a full sized replica of the Wasas 24pdr long guns vs an accurate replica of the Wasas hull.

  2. If you've done a midnight field strip of an Ak5A in 2ft tall grass and then watched your bolt fly off into a clump of grass nowhere to be found as it was snagged on the compass lanyard passing from one chest pocket to another... It was found one day later, in a rabbit hole, within a 3'x3' square...

  3. The Ak5C actually does have a retrofitted last round holdopen if you use the transparent polymer mags.

  4. Lol! All the airsoft guns I've bought retail has been all metal structure, either aluminium or steel to the same specs as their real firearm counterparts since I want my toys to survive the same handling as I was taught to handle the real ones during conscript training decades ago.
