I'd love the Bushmaster M242 but that's maybe a little difficult to justify on a PTA unless we were being over run by 200Kg bunnies. Put a McMillan Tac50 on layby a couple days back, might cancel that and put the money towards genetically engineering 200kg bunnies :D I've seen rabbits up to 15kg that were being farmed for Akubra so I think 200kg is achievable in time...."insert evil clown laugh here".

Impressive, there is stuff there I have never seen, but he is still missing quite a few. I can think of ten off the top of my head.

I think it would be near on impossible to put every single cartridge ever made up there, but I found it interesting all the same :)

Talk about making things more difficult than they need to be.

Is it really that beneficial that you can load the chambers from the side instead of the rear :?
