Is this the modern duck bill?

DAYUM SON!!! I never even knew these existed. Imagine the advertising for LE/MIL: "Terrorists and criminals better watch out! Our professionals now have TWICE the bite!" o_O

Not duckfoot, that would be more appropriately called a cameltoe configuration.

I’ve heard of the LeMat. Didn’t it have a shot shell center? And in the later 1800 it fired center fire cartridges?

Yes it did.

Three percussion models were produced between 1860 and 1865 for the Confederacy. The design was drafted by General Pierre Beauregard and a New Orleans physician who was a Southern sympathizer. First and Second Models were .42 caliber 9-shot with .60 caliber central smoothbore. 3rd Model (Birmingham) was .44 caliber 9-shot and .63 caliber central smoothbore. 1st and 2nd Models built in France. 3rd Model built in UK. About 3000 made it past Union blockade and into Confederate army hands.

There was also a "Baby" version built after 1864, with .36 caliber upper and .50 caliber central.

After 1870, a number of pistols and carbines were built in cartridge version and were used by French forces in the Franco-Prussian War. The ones pictured in the post above were the 1870's models.

The dual 1911 sucks.... the bullets chase each other - one always enters ballistic gel first.
The bullets are Micro seconds apart

The second bullet follows the temporary / permanent wound channel of the bullet that enters first.

So the second bullet to enter does minimal tissue damage and hollow points don’t expand well either.


Cool gun for a movie

Thanks for posting that . My grandfather was in that mix, and one of many who were ( Meuse Argonne Offensive ) . I still keep his company panoramic Pic. that is hanging in the house . He is easy to pick out of the picture because he was the shortest height man in the company . in 2nd row bottom and about dead center . I circled his image .

Army of Occupation France . Company D, 18th infantry USA , Capt. broker commanding . Arriving in France June 14, 1917
in his company picture it lists a few of the offensives they fought in France . Catgney offensive, St. Mikiel Offensive, Argonne Offensive .
He actually fought in both European fronts, WW1 and was called back again WW2 .

Made me think of Sandy’s
It’s called sandy’s because everything will be full of sand when you get to shore.
I live on a coast where it’s just kids that ride body boards in the shorebreak. When I lived on a coast with fun and consistent surf, bodyboarding was done at places too critical for proper surfboards.

BTDT.......a LONG time ago. Was called Sandy beach, didn't know it had changed. As a novice, you learn real quick to run diagonal to the waves, not perpendicular. If you run perpendicular and the wave crests, it will bend you backwards in a way that you weren't meant to bend.
I got pinned to the bottom while swimming out. The incoming wave crested and crashed right on top of me. Thought I was going to get hit with a piledriver. Oddly enough, the wave just pushed me to the bottom and briefly held me there. Otherwise, no pain, no injury.
Went back to where we were staying and spent the next two hours in a chaise lounge, upside down, head hanging over the end and water running out of my nostrils and ears. I'm old now, no interest in that anymore.

In Noo Yawk State, you must be over the age of 18 to sell any goodies like beer, wine, ciggies, e-cigs, rolling papers, etc... I worked in a local stop n' rob before and they are pretty serious about this rule. In Metro NY I think you gotta be 21 now.

So I think the case is closed :cool:

When I was 16 I worked in a 7-11 in Suffolk County N.Y. Sold everything beer, cigarettes, you name it. Worked till closing at 2300 too. I guess times have changed. That was back before DL's had pictures on 'em. I carded a girl one night that I was sure was under age. Turns out the woman was 30. When I said I was sorry she said " Kid you just made my day"... Hot 30 Y/O woman for sure.

Wow, times sure have changed now. When I was working they double and triple checked everyone to make sure they were over 18. And then we had to go through 2 whole shifts of computer based training on the sales of carded items and how to check ID, how to refuse a sale etc...Then you had to pass an assessment, get a certificate, have that cert checked by the general manager AND field consultant before you are allowed anywhere near the cig shelves. Heck, going through my 8-16hr and armed security training didn't even seem as serious compared to that LOL.

And I have had my fair share of awkward situations during ID checks too. :ROFLMAO: It is a good way to meet/start conversations with ladies. Once you know how to break the ice, everything is cool. There is another group of customers though, consisting mainly of grumpy guys who consider it a mortal grievance when they are asked for their IDs. :ROFLMAO: In those cases ya just gotta remind them that you are doing your job and if they got an issue with the law, take it up against the .gov agency in charge of said laws.
