Hmmm, what is the caliber they're using on the miniatures?

Well from the video they are saying they exact 1/2 replicas. So half of a .45cal and so on.
Must be tough to go so far as to have to even make your own ammo for your half size guns.

Sometimes the less accurate versions will use a .22Short or even 22CB (no powder, just the primer is your propellant, VERY low power), but as stated, the more acurate (to scale drawings) will make their own ammo.

I handled a few of these last year... absolutely amazing. I operated a Winchester levergun that was only 4" long... also a Thompson SMG, and yes I can confirm: the safety worked perfectly, it operated from open bolt as most SMG's do, and it even disassembled the same. The guy even put a light so I could check out the bore... rifling twist just like any real barrel. The extractors move... a truly incredible amount of work and effort to make these miniatures.


POLITICS, WAR, ECONOMY, CONTROVERSY! and other heated discussions and debates in the PWEC sub-forum at the bottom of this forum main page. See you there!

Nice!! However, I'm curious if it fires shot or just slugs? Shot would be incredible.

Ask Adlabs6 - what he did with his 1/24 Shelby GT350 is incredible!


There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
