[@cocacola4blood365]

The Puckel gun brings to mind David Dardick's notorious tround thrower. For those that don't know, the Dardick gun was a magazine fed revolver made in 1957. The ammo used triangular casings to fir the mechanism that moved them rounds from the magazine to the chamber. Dardick was truly ahead of his time, as he succeeded in creating the perfect firearm to go with a leisure suit.

[@imgvillasrc1608]

The best part is that because of their shape, you can place more trounds in a magazine than average circular rounds due to filling the rest of the magazine's space that the circular rounds could not. If the NRA is right about their research, you could fill 30-rounds in a 20-round magazine.

If you saw the animation and that's what you saw, then you really need to take a quick nap, put your glasses on, whatever the heck you need to do for your eyes and watch it again. The gut in the animation did not fire as the crank comes around. The guy next to the Gunner cranking it is the one making it go off by smacking I assume the trigger on top. At no point did they make a mistake in the animation. You're just not paying attention.

[@jamesliu8095]

​​@@HK47_115 you did not understand the point of my comment, allow me to explain: In this animation the quarter turning of the crank caused the chambers to revolve. That is incorrect. The crank controlled the gas seal of the gun and the locking of chamber position, it is a screw not a winch. When unscrewed, it allows the chamber to be manually rotated by hand as there is nothing locking it in place, there is no mechanism to turn rotate the guns chambers either. It would be impossible to fire the gun without fully unscrewing it first, yet in the animation it turns with the slightest movement of the screw. This is incorrect. Also demonstrated in the video is exactly what you said wasn't happening, when using the square bullets the soldier continues turning this crank, and the gun keeps firing. It is clear the animator mistook it for a proto Gatling gun, and his hand is clearly not in position to depress the trigger on top.

FMJ 's were created so smaller bullets ( 8mm vs 10-11mm) could be fired at a greater velocity than traditional lead bullets at the very end of the blackpowder era. These soft lead bullets had a max velocity of around 1300fps before they started melting. Even well below that speed, they would clog the rifling (known as 'leading' ) and destroy accuracy.

[@postpwnmalone]

[@Gameprojordan]

​@James Goodman yeah, it's better at penetrating than a normal lead bullet but not as good as a dedicated AP round

[@Dirty_Bear22]

@@Gameprojordan They also claimed FMJ has reduced lethality due to low expansion, sounds like they assumed pistol caliber ballistics Cary over into rifle calibers… Rifle rounds tumble on impact, velocities above 2100-2200 FPS exceed the elasticity of flesh, thus causing the resulting expansion cavity to damage nearby organs. Nowadays specialty calibers like 7.5 FK are even making claims about rifle performance out of handguns.

[@LuizBarros99]

You missed the most important feature of the Full Metal Jacket bullets, which is minimizing lead residue on the barrel. I also heard that "hollow point" bullets are illegal to use in wars, so armed forces just tend to stick to FMJ bullets. IIRC FMJ bullets are pretty cheap too, so another positive for it.

[@foxplayz3048]

I’m also pretty confident that hollow point is illegal, because it causes too much damage to the body and can cause greater suffering if not hitting vital organs

[@saosaqii5807]

@@foxplayz3048 hollow points are not illegal. It is perfectly legal for anyone to buy and use except for war. Hollow points also allow a bullet to dump more energy into a target and not over penetrate and cause collateral damage to innocent bystanders or passerby’s. It also can incapacitate someone earlier by dropping someone’s blood pressure faster than a FMJ which is why it’s often used by police as well. The only reason why hollow points are illegal in war is because killing isn’t always the goal and FMJ are more useful which is why nobody contested the ban on HP. The goal of modern conflict is to exhaust energy and resources to force a surrender which means injuring someone requires more resources for a country to take care and heal a injured than if that person just died. Also you want FMJ and penetration in war because you want collateral against the enemies, to penetrate body armor and to be more effective against covers.

[@ianshaver8954]

And if you’re at war, firing at people with low/medium body armor, armor piercing is more useful than hollow point.

[@oldkingcrow777]

​@@foxplayz3048 I'm still baffled by how often super intelligent men ended up coming up with these war rules. It blows my mind, almost like prisoner ethics. If it's a 10 yr old. They'll kill you. A 14 yr old with big boobs though, less disturbed by that 🙄 Sending peasants to kill each other for some private interests, yeah that's fine. But if they end up suffering instead of being killed quickly, nah thats not cool. I'm not blindly anti war, but I'd wager 99% of the actual justified reasons for war hsve been gone for decades if not centuries. Now its all like Smedley Butler said: fighting for what you think is right, but turns out to be just a shoe horn for some giant pseudo-private business. We can use chemical gases and flame throwers on each other, but bring in a shotgun and WHOOOOOA NELLY that is too barbaric to be allowed 😆🤦‍♂️

[@squidlybytes]

@@foxplayz3048 Hollow point is illegal because imperial powers wanted to make sure their soldiers survived conflicts and were merely wounded rather than killed outright. Expanding rounds were and are perfectly usable in war involving non-signatories to the 1899 Hague Convention (which actually never included the U.S., which is...fun.) Similarly, law enforcement are *required* to use expanding rounds whenever reasonable, to improve emergency stopping power and reduce over penetration.

[@robertsmith4681]

Every single point made about 'FMJ bullets" is completely out to lunch, they are not designed to punch thru anything special, they don't make any distinctive sounds when they impact a target (bullets aren't kazoos), they are incased in soft copper because it leaves less residue in the rifling than pure lead, they also tend to do damage upon impact which is part of the reason they are banned for hunting but mandated by law for warfare.

[@pewpewTN]

Yea, I think "They put a copper or brass jacket around the bullets so they wouldn't clog rifling & could be pushed to a higher velocity" would have been less interesting for the video, so there were some major reaches.

[@robertsmith4681]

@@pewpewTN Yes, gilding (copper jacketing) of projectile was introduced in the late 1800's, as self contained metallic cartridges became higher pressure and higher velocity there came a point where lead would just smear itself into the rifling grooves upon firing.

The point of a full metal jacket bullet wasn’t so much to penetrate multiple targets, but it was actually so that the bullets would engage the rifling properly and feed better in magazines, hence why we only saw their design being mass adopted in the early 1900s, the actual penetration is from steel cores such as in M855 and 5.45 ball ammunition types

[@shaqman8649]

you're being pedantic! it wasn't designed to be a target piercing round, but they noticed it improved the bullet penetration. therefore, the ammo is known for it's penetration!

[@docternoblex]

@@shaqman8649 it didn’t improve penetration. What improved penetration was the adoption of solid metal cores at the same time, typically copper or steel in the early 1900s when metal jackets were first popularized, what is on the outside of the bullet has little to no difference in penetration, what is on the inside and how fast the bells is moving does matter

8:30 that includes depleted uranium which sharpens as it passes through even the hardest materials. Dont complain about radiation when they are used outside your home country as they are incomparable to any other material a bullet can be fired with and they are depeleted. It is as inert as uranium could possibly be. Meaning they are barely radioactive compared to what is used in nukes or nuclear power plants. It is a useless by product with incredible uses that make tungsten look like a paper tiger. Imagime a tank firing such a round. 1 foot thick steel would be balsa wood compared to a lead bullet, which are used due to their incredible mass per square milimetre. Density increases the kinetic energy but it is a very soft material. Depleted uranium has a greater density enough to exceed gold and has properties combining gold with tungsten making every element into tissue paper and has additional abilities.

FMJ is not designed to pass through several targets. It's just a soft copper jacket to protect the lead and in rifle rounds, the pressure is too high for an exposed lead projectile. The pressure will melt the lead, so the copper jacket protects the lead. The jacket also prevents lead buildup in the bore of the barrel. The Geneva Convention only allows FMJ bullets because they're less deadly & do less damage to a person when they're shot.
