    One used a cartridge case head to disassemble the pistol at the rear. I have had these pistols totally disassembled in the past. It takes about 2 minutes to completely disassemble these but one needs two sizes of drift punches to push out pins in the fire group.

    It would have been nice to have him open the breach to see the follower and the type of machining. I owned a large ring hammer pistol when I was younger. It had a tight action and took a very fast burning powder to get the pistol to operate properly.

    I recently found the back of one of these. Along with a LOT of 50 cal links and brass and wla few 20mm links. Also, a lot of very odd and unidentified electrical components with wires marked as "mk4 mod0"

    I have read the service life to arsenal refit for the Tokarev pistols firing a steady diet of surplus ammo is about 2000 rounds. One of my Toks is just such an arsenal refit. All new parts inside but the slide to frame fit was an underhand toss across the shop. A considerable amount of hammers and files and vices and stones involved to get things tight again. Am I shooting holes in soft body armour? Absolutly not. And if you have no call to do that, reloads with the powder charge reduced until the pistol doesn't cycle, then add a little bit is something to consider. Why is it considered a bad idea to use submachine gun 9mm in your hand gun. Because it shakes the gun apart. Same thing with Toks.

    I don't how I came across this video. I wore one of these for two years back in the 1990s. It always looked silly on my head. They look like old firefighter helmets.

    Current production PPU 6.63X25 Mauser and 6.62X25 Tokarev ammo looks to be virtually identical: Both have 85 gr bullets, and both have 5.5 g of powder. The ONLY difference that I see is that the Tokarev round is longer by 1 mm, at 33mm, vs 32mm for the Mauser round. This is less than the original specifications, which called for 35.2mm for the Tokarev round, and 34.8mm for the Mauser round. So unless the powder in the Tokarev is hotter, then it would seem that the concerns of the past may no longer apply. Regardless, I've decided to err on the side of caution, and have done some reloads, reducing the powder charge to 4.8 grams, which is sufficient to fully cycle my C96. anything less and I would get stovepipes.

    I used these things in the mid nineties during a long period of training with the Italian army. The 1oz explosive charge is anaemic at best. I have found exploded grenades with a hole in the top and the body intact. The wire wound container holds the charge and is held in place by the brass strip. The aluminium cap separates from the body and pulls another strip out. This exposes the detonator (part of wire wound container) to the firing pin. Impact with mother earth SHOULD allow the firing pin to set the detonator off. Bad piece of kit.

    They definitely had older parts left over and just used them up, that's what makes the most sense. Makes for a just slightly distinct variant which ends up rather elegant, and this example is in very good condition.

    I believe the "sniper face veil" you demonstrate on the strichtarn helmet cover/ jacket hood , is actually a mosquito insect net, to protect the face in forest areas..............but ,as you say, would offer some camouflage element. The Swiss jacket netting is printed in a camouflaged pattern, while the DDR netting is plain grey green.

    I can't weigh in between these pistols. But Ive had a 75 compact decocker for just about ten years now. I have or have shot 1911s, M&Ps, 92s, Sigs, Rhinos, Glocks, not all but quite a few. At 6'9, my hands are bigger than most and my absolute favorite to shoot is my 75 compact. Hands down. Not a question. Obv I like 1911 triggers the best, but overall comfort, angle, grip, recoil, I'll take my baby CZ any day. Carry it? Maybe not. Its heft is its biggest selling point. That said, I picked up a Shadow 2 SA about a month ago but havent had a chance to get out and drive it yet.

    Why they made a variant only 0.3" shorter is the biggest question, the difference is too minuscule to have this option. Of course if you are dead set on concealed carrying this, sure get the Centurion. But for all other uses just get the full size.

    The first time or two can be difficult to take them apart but after that no big deal. Although you didn’t recommend using other than 9mm Largo I personally would say do not use any other ammunition than what the Astra was designed for.

    If you compare side by side an M71 and an M18 you can easily see that the M71 is essentially a cut back M18, definately keeping the tradition alive. The original issue of the M71 was black, now hard going on impossible to find as moany were refurbished in green; later production as you show it. The loop at the back is a later feature; some helmets were refitted (as this one is) with an essentially clip-on loop, other ex-factory helmets had the loop rivetted directly to the shell. But most M71 out in the wild don't have either. The replacement for the M71 ws a version of the German Schuberth 826, with a couple of modification to Swiss spec, mainly regarding the liner and chinstrap.
