So what I heard you say is, we should inject Ballistol. Got it. :)

2023-10-31 19:31:10 +0000 UTCI think it's a big historical fact to just skip over. Note his stomach got worse without it! Though that's all the Neo formula of that time. Not exactly today's gun oil.

2023-10-28 20:26:38 +0000 UTCI have to second this. Ballistol is a German company, and they tend to be a skosh sensitive about that twelve-year stretch of time. Even if the bit is tongue-in-cheek, it might fall a bit flat with the folks at the Ballistol mother ship. I've worked with German companies before, the are generally managed by people with humor deficiency. And the only time I've seen Germans do anything tongue-in-cheek everything ends up in sausage casings.

2023-10-25 02:06:24 +0000 UTCI don't know if linking your largest sponsor with the most hated man in modern history is your wisest move. That being said, the gun itself is kind of like a car modified with hand controls-- a pain in the ass for everyone to drive unless you're the one with non-working legs. Then it's great.

2023-10-24 23:34:47 +0000 UTCThanks very much. What a fascinating design. Did it provide the inspiration for Beretta's tip up barrel semi auto pistols?

2023-10-24 17:49:36 +0000 UTCInteresting story. Great as usual. Just out of curiosity what does May carry?

2023-10-24 17:13:34 +0000 UTCAm I wrong, or did this gun have like 8 springs in it, each only doing a single function? JM Browning seen slowly shaking his head, walking away.

2023-10-24 16:02:36 +0000 UTCI wonder if the "tip-up barrel/load one round" was inspired by the magazine cut-off found on the magazines on some pre-WW1 rifles. Was the idea to save the magazine until you really, really needed it?

2023-10-24 13:09:17 +0000 UTCHeh, you could throw in the phrase "or Baliistol" once or twice after the word "oil".
