Here is a question that you may appreciate: The M-16 rifle design is generally known to have been heavily influenced by the Stoner design, but the Stoner was made with a gas piston similar to the vast majority of automatic rifles currently available. What rifle design was the direct predecessor of the pistonless gas system of the M-16?

You forget, I'm a former gun smith....

The AR-15 is my FAVORITE (Unless of course I'm shooting one of my M1 Garands.)


Okay, down to the question.

What cartridge gave the French the idea for the 7.65x22mm Longue for the Mle. 1935A and 1935S pistols?

 

[Dean]

This is really a shot in the dark, but could it be the 7.63x25 Mauser?

Dean.

 

[5.56X45mm]

Nope...

Do you want a hint?

 

[moving0target]

7.65mm Luger?

 

[Dean]

Sure, a hint sounds good right about now...

(in other words, I got nuthin')

It was a cartridge made for the US Army during WWI for trench warfare.

 

[5.56X45mm]

7.65mm Luger?

Nope, not it either.

 

[Fox]

.30-06 Cartridges?

 

[5.56X45mm]

Way to big. It's a pistol size caliber.

 

[Fox]

Is it .45?

 

[moving0target]

The Mle. 1935 is loosly based off the 1911A1...

 

[5.56X45mm]

US Automatic Pistol, Caliber .30, Model of 1918

The cartridge that the Pedersen device fired for the US Rifle, Cal. .30, Model of M1903, Mark I.

It's the same exact cartridge.

 

[moving0target]

You tricky ***...

 

[5.56X45mm]

Yeah I know am an @$$ sometimes. But hey; I eat, sleep, and breath firearms.

 

[5.56X45mm]

Okay, I'll do a easier question.


How many .45 ACP Lugers are in the world right now?

 

[Bugfatty]

There are two of them? IIRC.
