I'm just saying that 556's original intent of this thread was probably not an exercise in people's Google/Wiki-fu, and more based on actual knowledge of firearms and the employment of integrity. Bah it's been a long day, end rant.

So I guess the next course of action is to find questions that people cannot Google or Wiki, heh heh.

So lets give it a try:
Why would a gunsmith (or engineer wink wink) put a precision rifle barrel in tension?

 

[5.56X45mm]

When glass bedding a rifle for a free floating light weight barrel.

 

[Maytime]

Bingo, your turn.

What two caliber were created as a resualt of the Miami FBI Shootout.

[5.56X45mm]

You're half way right....

I'll give you a hint. It's my favorite caliber for a semi-automatic.

 

[2dold4this]

.40 Smith & Wesson?

 

[5.56X45mm]

Yup, .40 S&W.

 

[Maytime]

A fine caliber...the other day I was eyeing an HK USP in .40S&W to get my brother for Christmas, mmm yummy.

 

[major liability]

Yeah, and I want a USP Tactical .45ACP...

What's the next question?
