Thank you for taking the bait.
I collect vintage firearms. I have several 1895 Nagant revolvers. The recipe that I use for the cartridges that I reload for them specifies 2.4 grains of Titegroup powder to achieve the same muzzle velocity as the originals. I use 90 grain projectiles in them which I cast myself.
If you were to look into the history of the Nagant revolver you would find that one of the original design requirements from Tsar Nicolas himself was that it be capable of killing a horse with one shot to the head. It was an ironic twist of fate that it was also the weapon used to slaughter the Tsar and his family following the Russian Revolution of 1917.
Approximately 2 million of them were produced from 1895 to 1945 when production ended. It was the standard Russian sidearm until the 1930s. But it was produced concurrently with the Tokarev tt-30 until the end of WWII because of production issues and the Nagant’s reputation for robust service under challenging conditions. Much forensic evidence supports the theory that it was the most commonly used handgun for executions in the Soviet Union from the revolution through WWII. Because of its unique design which makes it one of the only revolvers that can be effectively silenced, it was also one of the weapons of choice into the 1960s by the KGB to perform political assassinations.
So you can ridicule the power held in just two grains or 0.00457143 of an ounce of smokeless powder all that you want. It demonstrates only your ignorance of firearms history and the construction of firearm cartridges.
2.4 grains gives you over 1000 fps?
