    Frederick Forsyth, you hack

    Picked up his latest, The Kill List, at an airport last week (back in the seventies, he was good, but I haven't seen a good Forsyth book in 30 years). In it, a character goes to a gun show in Virginia and buys an H&K G3, no paperwork and (presumably) all very legal. Then later in the book when he goes out to shoot it, "after twenty rounds, the firing pin met an empty chamber." No bolt hold open on an empty magazine?

    Getting called a DOJ shill has become a rite of passage around here. I've certainly been called that more than once - I've even seen Kes get called that. I haven't seen Red-O get called that yet, which is very suspicious to me, and means he's probably a DOJ shill.

      Uh, g3/HK 91 and 93 do not feature a bolt hold open.

              Not every gun has a bolt hold open.

                  Well, Forsyth didn't know about the bolt hold open anyway!
