I wonder what type of barrel on a break barrel would gnash teeth and noses better? Short and stumpy with a large diameter shroud / silencer or a long, slim item like the 35 Export?Originally Posted by Hsing-ee

You'd be safe with the ultra long 35 export barrel as you'd smack the bloke next to you in the chops insteadI wonder what type of barrel on a break barrel would gnash teeth and noses better? Short and stumpy with a large diameter shroud / silencer or a long, slim item like the 35 Export?

You have been warned
Could be interesting if you get two 35 shooters next to each other, it could turn out like a Star Wars lightsaber fight

Short and stumpy, preferrably a gas-sham. The lack of mechanical advantage means the extra effort allows one to be hit in the face, break the stock AND possibly get your fingers/web of the hand pinched or crushed in the breech when it 'kangaroos' the unfortunate shooter. The scope should be destroyed when the brute hits the ground scope-down in accordance with Murphy's Law.I wonder what type of barrel on a break barrel would gnash teeth and noses better?

A HW35 Export with its nice long lever is perfectly controllable.

Didn't Hitler's people dream one up like that that could shoot round corners?
Well, for a few shots anyway!

The Krummlauf. Or, more correctly, the Vorsatz J (or I) and Vorstaz Pz. Originally a way (Pz = Panzer, 90 degree bend) of letting tank crews engage infantry without sticking their heads above the open hatch. Also developed (I or J, 30 degree bend) for infantry in trench or urban warfare.Didn't Hitler's people dream one up like that that could shoot round corners?

Not sure it ever saw service. Never replicated by any other army. Which tells you something about its utility, 72 years later.
Back on topic. Tap-loader, anyone? Surely it's not just me?

Any system where the pellet isn't seated in the barrel = Pants.
And I'm including the Steyr 5 in that.

I have a couple of accurate pistols that are gate loaders, one of them like the Steyr, and also a Hammerli tap-loader rifle that was egregiously more accurate than the others of its time. I am going to test it with modern pellets once I have overhauled it and got the odd size scope mounts it needs from the post office, where I get most of my kit.Yep, it's just you.

I also have an Original 50 which has been converted by an amateur to direct-breech loading, but it has been done rather imperfectly, giving 2 fpe which I do not think is an improvement on the original Original Diana power. I have yet to strip it to see how it has been achieved, I think it might have been by putting a huge lump of metal in front of the piston which slides back and forth. This combines a shorter stroke with a massively long transfer port.
Overall, I don't like non-direct-loading systems though, they are just not robust enough - how can it be consistent?
