@freemo the difference is from technological advances in metallurgy and the change from black powder to modern smokeless powders

Modern ammunition designs just don't need anywhere near the same amount of case capacity to generate the same amount (or more) energy.

The .38 vs 9mm is a good example as they have roughly the same diameter bullet but the 9mm has almost ~30% more energy despite being ~30% shorter overall.

@TruthSandwich sadly a lot of servers will be offended you even asked. Some are more friendly.

@freemo Correct, although the story is a little more involved in detail.

For the rimless .45, the Colt's original name was ".45 ACP" (Automatic Colt Pistol). The Colt's competitors tended to stamp their guns with ".45 Auto".

For the revolver .45, Colt's original name was ".45 Colt". However, since other revolver calibers had "Long" in the name, users of the cartridge called it ".45 Long Colt" and basically overcame factory's opinion. In part it helped to disambiguate it from .45 ACP.

There's no point in knowing any of this.

@alecui his take up to that point were pretty reasonable, but yea that did it for me sadly.

@alecui I was 100% with him right up until he said any state that doesnt allow conceal carry is a "communist" state... I mean, its an oppressive state, but has nothing to do with communism.

@alecui Ohhhh this guy, ive seen his videos before... he is on the fedit?

@alecui please link me to that video of him... "software rights and gun rights" sounds interesting, I want to check it out.

@khird

Ahh yes, good point!

I will test the theory, ill open the federated tab and let it run overnight and see if i get any issues...

@Romaq

They are certainly doing an amazing job at that!

@cobratbq As far as I can tell this has only ever happened to this one user. We generally have a history of good stability.

@scathach 45 colt is ok to shoot, but i find their mostly in revolvers and i dont find many revolvers to be very ergonomic. So they tend to hurt your hand ifyou shoot it too much, not to mention being a pain to clean.

A 10mm has 50% more energy but, at least in my gun, is much smoother to shoot. I'd say for handguns 10mm and 9mm will cover you well enough... if you really want a variety a 45 ACP is nice, as is the 5.7mm

@InternetEh Just an idea.. but why not cancel the subscription AND send your subscription fee directly to the creatives. They make their money (and more) so problem solved?

@ClaraListensprechen4 those errors are indeed produced by the mastodon webclient, though they may just be passing along errors from the server.

Has anyone experienced it on ? Its the second time @ClaraListensprechen4 had this happen but I'm trying to figure out if its specific to them or a general problem.

Okay, trying to solve a mystery that crops up only on #QOTO. This time my screen shot includes the time stamp. QOTO was behaving itself until, coin...

@scathach I can tell you from shooting them it builds up a much thicker and harder to clean residue, thats for sure

@N3VEM

Thats how it played out when my very inexpiernced team were excited about chat GPT.. they were showing me how it was answering all their questions... then i asked it to ask it something it didnt know the answer but an expert like me would.... well needless to say it wasnt even close.
