    Exotic French Ammo- have you heard about this before?




    Interesting read about high speed Ammo designed in France

    Snip

    The Danish police also tested THV bullets in 7.65 Browning (.32 ACP) calibre to see if they would improve the effectiveness of their old Walther PP and PPK pistols while reducing the risk of over-penetration. It was found that the THV bullet produced an entry wound which was twice the diameter of a full-jacket 7.65mm bullet, more closely resembling a 9mm. Only one of the THV bullets passed through the target when fired at the thorax or abdomen of pig carcasses. However, the Danes eventually decided to buy new pistols in 9x19 calibre.

    Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

    Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

    Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

    Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

      How about the Gyrojet guns and ammo? It's tough to beat the Gyrojet's uniqueness.

        French ammo? Oh yah-yah, now I remember.

        This ammunition is manufactured at the 'Fur-Chet' Factory outside Paris.

          Looks somewhat similar to the French made Arcane ammo. Solid brass bullet, lathe turned to a sharp point. Lighter than a standard bullet, so higher velocity. Solid, sharp pointed bullet allowed to it zip right through soft body armor.
