The Puckel gun brings to mind David Dardick's notorious tround thrower. For those that don't know, the Dardick gun was a magazine fed revolver made in 1957. The ammo used triangular casings to fir the mechanism that moved them rounds from the magazine to the chamber. Dardick was truly ahead of his time, as he succeeded in creating the perfect firearm to go with a leisure suit.

The best part is that because of their shape, you can place more trounds in a magazine than average circular rounds due to filling the rest of the magazine's space that the circular rounds could not. If the NRA is right about their research, you could fill 30-rounds in a 20-round magazine.

​​@@HK47_115 you did not understand the point of my comment, allow me to explain: In this animation the quarter turning of the crank caused the chambers to revolve. That is incorrect. The crank controlled the gas seal of the gun and the locking of chamber position, it is a screw not a winch. When unscrewed, it allows the chamber to be manually rotated by hand as there is nothing locking it in place, there is no mechanism to turn rotate the guns chambers either. It would be impossible to fire the gun without fully unscrewing it first, yet in the animation it turns with the slightest movement of the screw. This is incorrect. Also demonstrated in the video is exactly what you said wasn't happening, when using the square bullets the soldier continues turning this crank, and the gun keeps firing. It is clear the animator mistook it for a proto Gatling gun, and his hand is clearly not in position to depress the trigger on top.

FMJ 's were created so smaller bullets ( 8mm vs 10-11mm) could be fired at a greater velocity than traditional lead bullets at the very end of the blackpowder era. These soft lead bullets had a max velocity of around 1300fps before they started melting. Even well below that speed, they would clog the rifling (known as 'leading' ) and destroy accuracy.

You missed the most important feature of the Full Metal Jacket bullets, which is minimizing lead residue on the barrel.

@@foxplayz3048 hollow points are not illegal. It is perfectly legal for anyone to buy and use except for war. Hollow points also allow a bullet to dump more energy into a target and not over penetrate and cause collateral damage to innocent bystanders or passerby’s. It also can incapacitate someone earlier by dropping someone’s blood pressure faster than a FMJ which is why it’s often used by police as well. The only reason why hollow points are illegal in war is because killing isn’t always the goal and FMJ are more useful which is why nobody contested the ban on HP. The goal of modern conflict is to exhaust energy and resources to force a surrender which means injuring someone requires more resources for a country to take care and heal a injured than if that person just died. Also you want FMJ and penetration in war because you want collateral against the enemies, to penetrate body armor and to be more effective against covers.

@@pewpew9193 Yes, gilding (copper jacketing) of projectile was introduced in the late 1800's, as self contained metallic cartridges became higher pressure and higher velocity there came a point where lead would just smear itself into the rifling grooves upon firing. Adding a copper jacket fixed that issue.

The point of a full metal jacket bullet wasn’t so much to penetrate multiple targets, but it was actually so that the bullets would engage the rifling properly and feed better in magazines, hence why we only saw their design being mass adopted in the early 1900s, the actual penetration is from steel cores such as in M855 and 5.45 ball ammunition types

FMJ is not designed to pass through several targets. It's just a soft copper jacket to protect the lead and in rifle rounds, the pressure is too high for an exposed lead projectile. The pressure will melt the lead, so the copper jacket protects the lead. The jacket also prevents lead buildup in the bore of the barrel. The Geneva Convention only allows FMJ bullets because they're less deadly & do less damage to a person when they're shot.

First, sound systems that can break your jaw, and now smart bullets?
