thats from saving pvt ryan when it unloads onto a bunch of paratroopers on top of a tiger tank

[12thssmaus]

@12thssmaus meaning? whats the difference ):?

[12thssmaus]

@Xiia0Sn00pY Gas guns are for half assed reanactors that cant afford black powder........ Gas can get the fuck out.....

@ClanHalo001 multiple reason to have one but on these its to prevent the cases from getting damaged on ejection so they can be reloaded and reused. as well as making sure the giant as searing shell doesnt hit someone and burn the crap out of them

@J3rEmY17 i would say your stupid =) haha

[J3rEmY17]

@ClanHalo001 I would say because any caliber of weapon that is larger than .50 cal or 12.7mm is a destructive device and requires a tax stamp including each individual cartridge but reloading the cartridge does not require buying the tax stamp a second time, so they save the brass.
