[martyr]

question: what cartridge is manufactured in greater volume than any other by a significant margin?

[JetRaiden]

Legos.

[Giovanni]

7.62? (aka A.K 47 ammo)

[AztecWarrior]

9x19mm Parabellum

[Triggar]

Your mom

[JetRaiden]

Gameboy cartridges are everywhere..I'm not sure if it significantly surpasses N64 or sega cartridges (or maybe even NES or SNES), but they are still in mass production.

[AztecWarrior]

Other guesses:

5.45x39.5 Soviet
5.56x45 NATO
5.8mm Chinese
7.62x51 NATO
7.62x54R Russian

[ViperGTS]

Lexmark?

[Smaug]

Nerf bullets. Those things are lost easily.

[JetRaiden]

I bought an automatic plastic airsoft type gun over the summer for like 40 bucks. I now have a coating of plastic bb's in every cavity in my room. Theres probably like 200+ under my desk alone.

[Fragmatic]

Hmm, I'll take 3 guesses

7.62x54R
7.62x39
or
9x19mm (9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger, 9mm NATO)

[martyr]

ten posts, nobody's gotten it yet

[Smaug]

I have a question. Does this cartridge have to be a 'cartridge' proper, or can it just be a projectile. Also, does it still have to be manufactured.

[OneManArmy]

.22
.223

[martyr]

.22


we have a winner
.22LR is produced more than any other cartridge in the world.

[martyr]

Ummm, what is Desert Eagle?

[Triggar]

Ummm, what is Desert Eagle?

A really big, heavy gun that was made popular by Counterstrike and "Snatch", a film by Guy Ritchie.

[Squeeky]

...
what?

What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything Firearms related?

The Desert Eagle!

Cmon, you've never been to a CS board where 13 year old kids talk about the Desert Eagle like it's god's gift to Firearm Enthusiasts?

*watches his joke die a slow painful death*

:lol:

I need some indoctrination as far as Firearms go. I wish I grew up in the south. I've got such a fascination with Firearms, but I live in CA.

That's like a KKK Member living in Africa.

[Triggar]

:lol:

We'll adopt you and teach you everything you need to know, and we'll rename you "Lil Jimmy"

[Ivan]

Can I still be your maid too?

[martyr]

[Squeeky]

:lol:

Can I fuck my cousin to?

[Triggar]

I don't know who you're talking about, but you can be like Sharon and Dennis from EAstenders - Sharon was adopted, and Dennis is her "brother", but they still shag.

[Smaug]

you'd be his cousin :scared:

Haha! To go off topic of a second I have a funny story that you just reminded me off�

First let me set the story up�

My brother tours with musicals. He�s part of the crew not a dancer/singer/actor. He�s the sound engineer. Anyways, one thing that happens a lot when you sit around all day and basically do nothing at all just tell the local union where to place the large speakers and other sound equipment is you get what they call, �Gig butt.� It�s when your ass gets really sweaty and itchy. :lol:

So one thing he does is when he around the local crew (the crew that doesn�t tour, just works for the venue that the show is at) he says something like, �Man I have some bad gig but today.� Or something just to get them to ask what Gig Butt is.

So when the local crew which is usually stupid college kids has no idea what gig butt is and asks, he tells them and then says the only way to get rid of it is if you mix kitty litter in with Vaseline and spread it on your ass even in between your cheeks. So he pulls one of those small bags of kitty litter and a jar of Vaseline out of a bag and takes them into a bathroom.

The rest of the touring crew knows about the joke and plays along sometimes asking my brother in front of the local crews if they could barrow some.

Basically they do it because it�s fun to mess with the locals I guess. And it usually starts rumors and stuff which is always fun when they get back to you.

[Triggar]

Hahaha, has anyone retardedly tried it?

pics:

[martyr]

haha, seriously, have they gotten anyone to bite?

by the way, i suggest this totally sweet kitty litter, it's desiccant crystals and might actually help alleviate his problem (although the vaseline, obviously, would not)

.22...how could I have forgotten? Damn those poor bastards who can't afford a real cartridge.

[FlamingPotato-J]

On the subject, how do caseless round work?

[Mango]

On the subject, how do caseless round work?

Panda magic

[martyr]

they feed into the chamber which seals completely (instead of relying on the casing to seal the back)

[FlamingPotato-J]

But the round has the propelent with it?

[martyr]

yeah, it's a solid block of propellant with a bullet glued to the front end (or, more commonly, embedded inside the propellant)
