First real use of fragmenting rounds that were likely to induce hydrostatic shock. The first guys to test it loved it because it was killing guys faster than a 308 would despite being a fraction of the size and recoil. What they didn't realize, because they were almost always very up close, was that the effects were limited to a maximum of about 200 yards and became much less likely as it approached that distance. I wish I could have personally seen their reactions when their 7 pound rifle shooting a smaller round than any rifle they were used to was doing this

From a flat bar of soft iron, hand forged into a gun barrel; laboriously bored and rifled with crude tools; fitted with a stock hewn from a maple tree in the neighboring forest; and supplied with a lock hammered to shape on the anvil; an unknown smith, in a shop long since silent, fashioned a rifle which changed the whole course of world history; made possible the settlement of a continent; and ultimately freed our country of foreign domination. Light in weight; graceful in line; economical in consumption of powder and lead; fatally precise; distinctly American; it sprang into immediate popularity; and for a hundred years was a model often slightly varied but never radically changed.

You're delusional if you think the 1911 had a greater impact on history than the hi power. The US had the 1911. Everyone else had the hi power.

retards and fudds love to dick suck on the 1911. But the Hi power was the real renovation that had the largest impact on modern handgun technology and philosophy.

This followed by the Glock and it's earlier and far less successful predecessors in introducing the light weight, durability, and reliability of polymer and strikers into modern handguns.

Really there is nothing held over from the 1911 in modern handguns. The only reason people still spend so much on 1911's is nostalgia, militaria, not knowing any better, and trigger memes.

Krag was good for what it's worth, if it was possible to adapt it to stripper clip use, it would stay in service just like Lee Enfield did. The ammo wasn't really of the flat-shooting type but who really cared?

M14 was a fucking disaster of unmatched proportions. From the operating system straight from the 30's, to the ammo choice. The army tried to make it a sniper rifle after it failed as a battle rifle, but it also failed at this role. They tried to make it DMR but it also failed. It's piece of trash that was pushed by the armory system in favor of FAL - which gave the opportunity for gaining momentum leading to adopting universal rifle across whole NATO. For fuck's sake why is there a cult of it?

>>34887411
Someone modified one to shoot .458 win mag. So the action can handle a lot of pressure, however, the factory gas system is fixed for m2 ball so it can handle light magnum 30-06 loads if you change out parts of the gas system.


TL:DR You fucked up dipshit.

>>34891985
>extraneous features are what define the mechanical operation of a gun
Explain what the mag release location and slide release have to do with the operation of the breech lock.

The 1911 wasn't revoltionary. It was the end result of a development line that began with the 1903 and progressed in a directly linear fashion with a series of minor improvements and caliber changes. The tilting barrel lock and full slide are the features that matter.

>>34883614
underrated

mutually assured destruction is why we are still here

>>34892045
The 1911 is the pinnacle of that design, that is what made it revolutionary. That's like thinking the x86 architecture wasn't influential because it was based on the 8008 and 8080

>>34892081
The 1903 is what was copied first and what established the operating principle. It's not a comparison between x86 and the 8008/8080, it's a comparison between the 486DX (what everyone knows and loves) against the 80286 (what actually set the standard). The 8008 would be the early FN unlocked baby pistols.

>is still a decent gun and amazing in the war it was made in
Think about that for a moment .

>>34891985
And the luger had a safety, "standard" mag release and lrho. The 1903/08 had lock and a safety. Last round hold open isn't the same thing. Literally nothing wrong with .38ACP and the 1911 was eventually IMPROVED by the use of its direct +p derivative
