(...) WOW! That is fantastic. Since I did not see this the first time around, I am glad you posted this now. As an avid firearms enthusiast (err, gun nut!) who has fired the Beretta on numerous occasions (though I do not yet own one), I applaud your (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Actually, the H&K MP5 is next. They have one at the gun range we go to (fully auto) to be rented. I'm going to jump on that next time we go shoot. No Berettas for rent though... I, sadly, haven't even gotten to shoot one. J (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad)

I *almost* did an MP5 in full-auto...but then I looked at the cost of the ammo multiplied by the magazine capacity divided by the rounds per second -- and decided to rent a nice slow semi instead. :-, (...)

(...) That sounds about right. I dunno why the shorter barrel makes the recoil more sharp, but after four clips my entire arm was sore. Which, I suppose, was better than a certain Sig I tried out. It plinked every single ejected casing onto my (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Dunno, but it may be something to do with the increased inertia of the longer barrel - takes more explosion to get it to start rotating. You can see this in the different recoil between pistols & rifles - even though the barrel is off-centre (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Nah, I'd bet it has more to do with simple Newtonian laws-- action vs. reaction. The same pistol with a shorter barrel weighs surprisingly less (and the weight distribution is different); ditto pistols vs. rifles. Given the same amount of (...)
