I heard the Yuropeens built themselves a 10mm with a 8" barrel and gave it funny name.

Honestly, who calls their gun "Large Hadron Collider" anyway? :mrgreen:
HTRN, I would tell you that you are an evil fucker, but you probably get that a lot ~ Netpackrat

Describing what HTRN does as "antics" is like describing the wreck of the Titanic as "a minor boating incident" ~ First Shirt

So in other words I need to take care firing my 10mm CCU with 16+ inch barrel and full house loads lest I tear holes in the space-time continuum, free Higg's Bosons, and open portals to strange places with wierd creatures?

(You know the last time I shot it with factory weak loads, there _were_ reports of coincident earth tremors in the neighboring state).

Between this and the re-emergence of the X-37, there is hope for USA space ambitions yet...
