Its NOT C.O.AL. it is....

C.O.L. CARTRIDGE OVERALL LENGTH. Overall is one word.

I know I'm being picky but incorrect terminology has a habit of being picked up and used too often.

Bullet heads, are bullets.
Recoil shield is the breech face,

I can't think any others at the moment!

[Mr. Gain]

May I venture to add "muzzle brake" (NOT "break"), and "coup de grace" (NOT "coup de gras")?

[Turnup]

ft/lbs when meaning ft-lbs (admittedly I see it used less often since a certain airgun magazine mended it's ways)

Technically speaking, seeing as we are being pedantic, it is ft.lb (sometimes ft.lbs or ft.lbf), not ft/lbs or ft-lbs (or even ft/lbf or ft-lbf) and never in this context lbf.ft

Personally, I couldn't give one.... I'd rather be shooting!

Depends on which schools you went to. and I believe both are correct. The . and the - are interchangeable in this context and sometimes the - is preferable as in Newton-metre or kilowatt-hour. I think we are agreed that ft/lb is always wrong.

No, the recoil shield is the raised area of a revolver frame at the rear of the cylinder that prevents the cartridges in the cylinder from being dumped out of the chambers from the recoil of a round firing....

Ah, 'coup de grace', French for lawn mower. Also, 'apéritif' - a 'set of dentures', and finally 'pas de deux', 'father of twins'.

It amazes me that you lot dont self anethatize...the winter evenings are just going to fly by

That made me chuckle!

I may aswell vent that I hate it when people talk about “kick back” in reference to recoil.

Ah! but that depends on what you mean by pedantic
