And I think you will also find they are re-swaged from unjacketed Bergmann M1896 bullet heads as the calibre failed miserably as a German equivalent to the .25 ACP pistol round......It tended to merely annoy rather than injure your opponent on the battlefield.....a rough translation of the time for the pistol was "arsche tikler" .....Bergmann wasn't really a gun man you see, more of an entrepreneur......He simply bought the patent of Hungarian watchmaker Otto Brauswetter's design for a locked-breech self-loader without thought of muzzle energy, knock down power etc........a dainty collectors item, but not a thing with which to trust your life to when there are ruffians abroad......

Funny old world eh!
Thank you for that. It's comforting to know that we are prepared for the Clanger uprising, should it ever happen.
However, the .25 (6.35) calibre pellet would be considered inhumane for use against Clangers, and should therefore only be brought in to play to counter the afrorementioned dragon.
