That's the next caliber S&W is going to put in their Scandium Airlight revolvers. Should weigh about 12 Oz.

30 mm Short with a 2,560 grain cast lead pumpkin. What the A-10 Warthog would be if it was a handgun.

Good stuff. I used to like Perma Frost for sipping in the winter. Went to get a bottle last year and the stores here told me it's not made anymore. I guess I should have stocked up on a few bottles when the gettin' was good.

Ok, I'll let the cat out of the bag.
The case is machined aluminum. Even has a brass "primer" on the bottom. The "bullet" is a piece of wood.
It was meant to be a shot glass.
This was made by a friend who is retired and has entirely way too much free time.

It sure does, which begs the question, how many rounds does it take before one is "fully loaded."

That's what happens when you leave your .45's in the Viagra bottle.

Looks like it might be a viable candidate for pest control, wonder if muzzle flash would be a problem?

Only in the 2" barrel. I've got a set of those my wife's uncle brought back from WWII. Made out of .50 cal brass I believe.

If used for it's intended purpose the muzzle "blast" could indeed
be a problem, especially indoors, unless, of course, the room
happens to have a porcelain throne located in it......
