Re: And now a five barreled gun

Marksman,
There is a difference between "unusual info" and factually incorrect info...
At an average muzzle velocity of 1100 fps for a 40 grain bullet from a 22" rifle barrel, the 22 lr develops a muzzle energy of around 115 fpe. Fire five bullets and the muzzle energy is five times that, or 575 fpe. For comparison, a 30-06 Springfield which is a medium bore round (definitely not recommended for dangerous game) fires a 150 grain spitzer bullet at around MV 2900 fps for a 2820 fpe of Muzzle energy.
And about a "bull barrel 465" (Huh!? Holland and Holland must be surprised that there was anything such thing as the 465 happens to be one of their proprietary bores. Until recently it was only available as a flanged double rifle chambering and it is now available as a bolt rifle belted rimless round but no one has ever built a target rifle - which have bull barrels - for one) - it is clear that your post is factually incorrect on many counts.
We do get a lot of BS on the forums... Some from people trying to pass ignorance around as knowledge and others who are malicious. We ban the malicious types very fast. Since your post indicated no malice, it was simply "corrected" in a humorous fashion... Do keep in mind that factually incorrect information here can often have safety and legal implications...
