    I'd be brave enough, once I can walk any useful distance again. Was bloody difficult to not buy that Sako that the #27gang ringleader was flogging off. But we wont tell him will we?

    Mixed value scopes - Mil/MOA. I don't know why this was an acceptable thing for so long and why it has taken so long to die.

    Browning BOSS.
    I think if they were to reintroduce it now on the larger cartridges it would be accepted more readily. Especially with the right thread.

    They're more of a separate seedling that hasn't grown well.

    The gyrojet.

    A whole new proposed branch of firearms which looked to replace bullets as we know them with miniature rockets (.50 cal-ish from memory). A whole lot were privately purchased to take to Vietnam apparently, however, being a rocket, their launch velocity is incredibly slow and they take a while to get up to speed - not so useful in close jungle, not to mention issues with moisture and rocket fuel.

    Apparently they were just a lemon concept. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrojet

    My little Rossi is a cracker. Funnily enough I had to do a little mod to the cartridge lifter to stop the shells coming up underneath occasionally which was a beaytch but otherwise its a trooper.
    several people have used it at range shoots and it shoots really well too.
    You'll have to prise it from my cold dead hands.
