.224 inches - these cartriges look to be about the same size as a .22 magnum rimfire round.
At 50 cents a shot they could play Klein bottle [an antillectual way of saying "they could go into their own derrieres"]. 20 cents a pop max, more if with specialty bullets.
Gquan? Named after St. Gquan, the patron saint of muggers?
LOL.
Looks like someone read your email. Good job!http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1671724/posts
Yes, but it's still one of those "although the facts behind the release are now seen to be totally bogus, the main thrust of our argument remains completely correct" corrections.
I suppose they don't know how to write any other type of correction.

I stopped somebody from shooting at the sun with it.
He'd have put it out.
He's an idiotic Liar
The cop killer thing is way over blown-the ammunition avaiable to the public will not penetrate a vest. The Milspec ammo can get on the black market, but the average scumbag carries a Lorcin or highpoint or similar cheap piece of crap. They have higher end stuff when they steal it.
Vests are not a panacea. They only increase the odds of survival. Tactics and common sense are what really bring people through. I worry more about a little piece of crap carrying a piece of crap gun, than I do about the 5.7
To understand the hype around this gun, go back to the 80's when the Glock first came on the market. It was "The Terrorist dream weapon, a plastic gun that could pass through metal detectors without setting them off."
Anyone with a room temperature IQ could see the lie there. But they beat that drum for years and occasionally trot it out now.
Add to that that this story was about the DA acknowledging inaccurate information that was presented in their press release - yet the details of the original crime were recapped, and in such a way as to infer that the questioning of those same false facts was, in some way, a show of support for the cop-killing-gun wielding criminals.
