Damn! I thought it was BORAT!

....and those who don't eat pork-flesh behead others for fun and blow themselves up...

Glad you did that for henry!!!!!!

Let's end it here: This is Breadster50 handing over to my father, Floating Chamber: 'It is an ejected shell. The 'shot-string'/shot and wad/ ejecta, call it what you will, has long gone BEFORE the bolt opens.' (Oooo, I wish I was back!)

Like I said last night. You'd need a FastAx camera to film it. The shot is long gone, BEFORE the spent cartridge gets a foot from the ejection port.

Did you know that in Dudley MB Council offices, NO pictures, photos or calendars displaying pigs or ornaments, mascots or piggy banks are allowed? Edit: qualifying nature of objects.

That's the new Mod!

True! Come back! We learn new things each day. Deit: adding a 's'

Ta!

I wish you would all ask for me, Floating Chamber to be re-instated!

Muzzle blast and H.V. water vapour. Edit: removed a bracket.

It looks like an Eley 'First' to me.

My father, (suspended from PW) has studied the pic. Conclusion: Shot does not come from the ejection port of an auto! The puff of smoke from the muzzle, indicates that the spent shell (visible to the right) has been ejected, and, being as the shot would have been at least three feet down-range before the bolt was even unlocked, the ejecta (shot/wad) would be 'invisible' to anything but a FastAx camera at 4000 frames per second. Only 'spark photos' would see the wad/shot clearly. Edited: addition of 'would'

Winchester Model 50!

I experienced this shortly after Dunblane. Our local newspaper was not accepting any adverts under 'Guns and Dogs'.
