He had me laughing.

SEAL's have always had all the toys, even before SOCOM money came along. They were testing them prior to the Army's trials, and went back to S&W revolvers for a long time, I don't know how long, as I was never a SEAL, but only rubbed elbows with them in schools and occasionally on a deployment. Anyway, here is what the internet says, but I heard it happened prior to the date this guy gives:

The Problems Arise:

The M9 pistol program ran into trouble when in September of 1987 the slide of a civilian model Beretta 92SB pistol fractured at the junction where the locking block mates into the slide. The broken half of the slide flew back at the shooter (A member of the Navy Special Warfare Group) injuring him. (NSIAD-88-213) In January and February of 1988 respectively, 2 more military model M9 handguns exhibited the same problem, injuring 2 more shooters from the Navy Special Warfare Group.

All three shooters suffered facial lacerations. One suffered a broken tooth and the other two required stitches. (NSIAD-88-213)

The Army was doing unrelated barrel testing on current production civilian model 92SB pistols and military model M9 pistols and ran into the same slide separation issue. They fired 3 M9 pistols 10,000 times and inspected the weapons with the MPI process for evidence of slide cracks. They discovered that one of the weapons had a cracked slide. The Army then decided to fire all of the weapons until the slides failed. Failure occurred at round number 23,310 on one weapon, 30,083 on another, and 30,545 on the last weapon. (NSIAD-88-213)

Examination of the NSWG slides and the Army slides showed a low metal toughness as the cause of the problems with slide separation. The Army then began to investigate the production process of the slides. (NSIAD-88-213) At the time the frames of the M9 pistols were produced in the US, while the slides were produced in Italy. There are reportedly documents from the Picatinny Arsenal that report a metallurgical study blaming the use of Tellurium in the manufacturing process for the low metal toughness of the Italian slides, but I have been unable to independently verify this information.

After April of 1988, however, all slides for the M9/92 pistols were produced in the US. (NSIAD-88-213) As a part of the contract requirements, the Beretta Corporation had to build a plant inside the United States to produce the M9. It naturally took some time for the US plant (located in Accokeek MD.) to get into full production swing, so the Italian plant made the slides for a time.

Several GAO reports and testimony from GAO staff before Congressional Sub-Committees (NSIAD-88-213, NSIAD-88-46, NSIAD-89-59 are a few�) report the total number of slide failures at 14. Three occurred in the field with the NSWG and the other 11 occurred in the test lab. Only 3 injuries resulted from the slide separation problem. The Beretta Corporation changed the design of the M9 pistol so that even if a slide fractured, the broken half could not come back and hit the shooter causing injury.

Of the 14 slide separations reported, only 4 took place at round counts under 10,000. (NSIAD-88-213) No further slide fractures were reported after the change to the US manufactured slides.

Damn, it is Big squeeze.

Poor TAK/Uterus.

Can't afford a camera. Craves my cock.

Laughin' my ass off...



Travis

'Squeeze? Nah.

I'm bettin' this guy knows ALL about sniper rifles...




Travis

Yeah, I know what happened because it was my job to retrofit those M9's for the USMC.

I believe the retrofit effort launched in 92.



Key word in Red.

Dave I'm thinking lee24 is reincarnated as squats to pee

He and Uterus are giving their version of a "best effort."

Laughin' my ass off...



Travis

Has TAK mentioned that he owns a Winchester M 70 Super Grade .375 H&H that says "Made in South Carolina."

Add in Uriah and sherp, and it's a go.

I had a pic of a prototype�but Im sure its wasn't Squat To Pee's�.




cause I had a pic of it�..

Was it a Push-feed or CRF?

You fugging moron. Seriously, are you really this stupid? The government cannot help but define a moral standard on marriage. Even the decision to get out of "the marriage business" constitutes government action which will influence the institution of marriage in a way favorable to sodomite unions by eliminating marriage entirely. This is what Marxism has sought from the beginning.

I understand you want the government to define marriage. I also understand you want the government to give tax benefits to those that purchase marriage licenses, and procreate.

I just don't agree with you. I don't think it's any of the government's concern.





Travis

Rob lighten the puck up

Couldn't agree with you more Travis. Really tired of paying for somebody else's demon spawn.

No it wouldn't. If the gobt stayed out of it totally. The chirches could decide for themselves whether they wanna marry queers.


I'm bettin not may homo catholic weddings gonna happen

Why lighten up against a proponent of one of the fundamental tenets of Marxism? Seriously, is this what we've come to, just surrender? This nation was founded on an appeal to a universal moral law. Limited government only works with a moral populace who are largely capable of self-governance.

Yeah, that's it. I just rode on ships that hopefully some azzhole like you maintained.

What a F U C K I N G tool you are and a disgrace.

Scott, I think you are giving him the benefit of the doubt�...
