casings are thin, i assume you'd just create a tiny frag granade. But i'm sure grumbler will be along to correct in a civilized manner :lol:

I doubt it - the cartridge/bullet interface is the weak point. I doubt the casing would actually explode like a grenade.

Just so you know - "cartridge" and "cartridge case" are used interchangably in colloquial English.

Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cartridge_30-06.png

Though if you want to sound like a dumb Swede ...  :P

Linking to another dumb (presumably also jewish) fuck who misuses terms under the guise of folksy ways doesn't strengthen your argument.  :P

Google image search for "cartridge" points us to several pictures of cartridges on the first page, yet none of just casings. The colloquial masses have spoken. :contract:

And now you're using two different terms for the same item in as many sentences. There's just no retreating from this, Malty. Grumblered.  :(

They are interchangable terms.  :huh:

It is you who is making a big deal about it. Lord knows why, as you are provably wrong; but there it is.

I guess you are not understanding the "and often ..."



Quotea. A cylindrical, usually metal casing containing the primer and charge of ammunition for firearms.
b. Such a casing fitted with a bullet.
c. A similar piece of ammunition, such as a shotgun shell.

Quote: a case or container that holds a substance, device, or material which is difficult, troublesome, or awkward to handle and that usually can be easily changed: as a : a tube (as of metal) containing a complete charge for a firearm and usually an initiating device (as a primer) b : a case containing an explosive charge for blasting c : an often cylindrical container for insertion into a larger mechanism or apparatus

Obviously, the term can mean "whole unit" or can mean "just the case".

Obviously, every definition specifies that it holds a charge, so it's not "just the case". :smoke:

Dude.  :lol: Chose a position and make a stand. Are you claiming that "cartridge" means THE WHOLE UNIT [in dramatic ALL CAPS] or are you suddenly giving that up for lost and claiming it means the case, but only when loaded with charge?  :hmm:

don't be ridiculous. giving up in the face of potentially superior evidence? that is not the languish way. :smoke:

I always thought that cartridge meant the complete set of bullet, casing, gunpowder, and primer.

Slargos is just trolling.  He has no idea what he's talking about.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
