Pistol 10mm Bullets

Introduced in 1983 using the ill-fated Bren Ten pistol the 10mm Auto was developed by Jeff Cooper and originally produced by ammunition manufacturer FFV Norma AB of Åmotfors, Sweden.  The 10mm Auto (10x25mm) is a cartridge for semi-automatic pistols and was selected by the FBI for use in the field.  The 10mm Auto recoil proved too powerful for many FBI employees and the pistols that chambered it proved too large for some small-handed individuals. These issues led to the creation and eventual adoption by the FBI of a shortened version of the 10mm, known as the .40 Smith & Wesson, derisively known as .40 "Short & Weak" by 10mm aficionados. Although famous for its accuracy and stopping power, scarcity and high prices have made the 10mm a niche cartridge with a small but enthusiastic group of supporters.

The Megastar is a large, all-steel, selective double-action, double-column automatic pistol, designed specifically to accept both .45 ACP and 10 mm Norma Auto cartridges. The Megastar is also known as the Model 50, but it was sold almost entirely under the Megastar brand name throughtout the world. The slide is, in my experience, invariably marked "Megastar" plus the caliber in large letters on the right side.

Pistol 8mm Bullets

The Japanese used three different rounds in their principal service handguns, all of them uniquely Japanese: 8mm Nambu, 9mm revolver and 7mm Nambu. There is information about these calibers in Cartridges of the World, Revised 5th Edition by Frank C. Barnes, editor (DBI Books, Northbrook, Illinois, 1985) on pages 173 (7mm Nambu) and 182 (8mm Nambu). Oddly, the book does not include 9mm Japanese revolver, though almost ten times as many guns were made for it as the 7mm Nambu cartridge. The Japanese made several other foreign calibres, especially .32 ACP. These were principally for pistols privately purchased by officers, although a few Japanese-made guns were also chambered for rounds like .25 ACP or .32 ACP.

            In the photo above, the cartridge on the left is a 7mm Nambu for the Baby. The bottle-necked cartridge to the right of that is an 8mm Nambu for the Type 14, Type 94, Papa, Grandpa and a few others. Second from the right is a 9mm Japanese revolver (for the Type 26). The one on the far right with the red band is a Japanese-made .32 ACP, mostly used in imported pistols but also in some domestic ones like the Hamada.

Pistol 9mm TT Bullets

During the post-war decades both the USSR and its major rivals from NATO were deeply engaged in espionage and counter-espionage. These activities sometimes called for very special actions, usually described by typical Russian euphemism as “wet deeds”, or, in plain language, murders. These clandestine operations required some very special weapons, and during the early 1950s the designer Igor Ya. Stechkin (better known as the designer of the 9mm APS Stechkin automatic pistol), developed a very special weapon for the KGB. Externally this weapon looked much like flat tin cigarette case, but internally it held three short barrels and a trigger unit. The intended use of this weapon was obvious, but the necessary compact size effectively prohibited the use of a standard silencer. As a result, Stechkin developed a special type of ammunition, which required no silencer to be fired silently. The major source of the sound of gunshot is the large volume of hot gases, violently expanding from the muzzle and creating a sound wave. Stechkin avoided this problem by encapsulating the blast of the propellant within the cartridge case.

Pistol 9mm TT

One of the most well-known pistols of 20th century – a TT, designed by Feodor Vasilevich Tokarev in Tula, to this day widespread worldwide also is used without cardinal changes of a design. Pistols of Tokarev made now differ from Soviet basically only cheeks of the handle and presence manual safety a safety lock, without considering variants under a cartridge 9mm Luger. My short opinion concerning a TT – the pistol highly specialized, but for some problems is very good, and at times and is irreplaceable. Lacks are known for all. Low reliability of the worn out pistols. Rather fast a deposit of a fighting spring and deterioration of an earring. Stopping power of a bullet of 7,62 mm is not great. The small angle of slope of the handle does not promote accuracy of shooting snapshot. However with few used pistols of problems a minimum. Springs and earrings easily vary. Small stopping power and impracticality to instinctive shooting are compensated by shooting skills of the owner of the weapon which work enough regular trainings. The problem with a safety half-cock notch of a hammer is not especially actual for those who uses a TT in combat work, carrying a pistol in correctly picked up holster and was able with it addressing, and for constant carrying it is the weapon practically is never used.
