Anybody remember Clint Eastwood's In The Line Of Fire?
The BG used some sort of ceramic pistol with ice bullet ammo, IIRC.
The whole concept would be really cool.......If they did make one, Id wear it in my Ninja Outfit! :D
The springs are easily enough to get around........Berilium Copper is very strong and isnt magnetic........
Shoot well.
The pistol was ceramic or some sort of polymer/plastic. The bullets though were just plain ol' cartridges (remember, he hid them in a rabbit's foot to get them into the banquet). The ice bullets were from the movie Most Wanted.Quote:

i suffered Titanic last night and was surprised the 45 only shot 8 shots... 1 in pipe 7 in mag but even though it was a pretty fly engraved 1911 nickle plated Bling bling i would say for some one to have one like that early 1912 would be dang near impossible
The first rule of the Glock Ceramic handgun is we don’t talk about the Glock Ceramic handgun.
IIRC, it was also more or less a derringer design, really more of a "zip gun". That's a far cry from a semi-auto handgun. It was also only meant to fire a couple of times at the most.Quote:

Ceramics have come a long way, and I believe if you can make a ceramic knife, you can make ceramic guns.
i wanna Rail gun
A ceramic knife is a hell of a lot simpler than a ceramic/polymer gun (the ancient Mayans had obsidian glass knives). Now a single shot, derringer or pepperbox design would be much easier than a revolver or semi-auto. Doable, but I would not want to be shooting it.
Besides the ice bullets, don't forget about the frozen meat bullets from CSI. They discovered the bullets were meat when they pulled a bovine maggot out of the body. Gotta love Hollyweird. :rolleyes:

Hey,
They had snow bullets in the book "Deception point". Improvised Munitions weapons were used to make ice projectiles.

I get a kettle some clay and make a barrel. :rolleyes:
Just laugh, shake your head and walk away.... :biggrin:
Well Zack, and you other guys that work in a gun store...next time one of these guys come in looking for what their sister's girlfriends husbands uncle has.....sell it to him!
Now I can't remember what guy told me his brother the cop has a ceramic Glock.
He's probably a guy I don't want to have a conversation with again anyway.
Part of it has to be guys out there that have a gun, and then invent these stories for friends and family that just don't know any better.
Hey, that sounds like fun.
